I read Beautiful Ruins already and rated it 3/5 stars on Goodreads. Can you believe my 75 year old father-in-law’s book club is reading Wild right now??? … Read More »
Book of the Week & Giveaway Paper Towns by John Green
Paper Towns
by John Green
I’ll admit that I had high expectations for this book due to the fact that I absolutely loved The Fault in Our Stars (TFIOS) by the same author. It was well written and entertaining but not near the same caliber as TFIOS. … Read More »
Book of the Week Big Little Lies
Big Little Lies
by Liane Moriarty
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s a great tale that somehow covers motherhood, friendship, kindergarten drama, domestic violence, date rape, and a murder mystery all into what is a sometimes light and sometimes dark but always fantastic story. I want to be friends with all three of the main characters…actually I can see many of their characteristics in the women I know and love in Dunwoody! … Read More »
Audra’s comments: Really enjoyed this book series…did not like the first movie all that much. Was very disappointed in the vast differences between movie and book. I’ll probably go see the movie anyway though.… Read More »
Book of the Week
This book was selected by the Amazon Editors as the 2014 #1 Book of the Year. I must admit that I’m very much looking forward to discussing it with my Meadowlake Neighbors at our April Book club meeting. However, for me personally, it isn’t anywhere near the top of my 2014 list or any other year for that matter. … Read More »
I’m such a book nerd. As I type, my husband is currently making fun of how excited I am to read Wendy Wax’s newest book before anyone else can! She sent me an “Advanced Copy” that has these words at the top: “Uncorrected Proofs For Limited Distribution – NOT FOR SALE”
Guess what!!! She gave me TWO more to give to Aha!… Read More »

Book/Movie of the Week The Hundred Foot Journey
The Hundred-Foot Journey: A Novel
by Richard C. Morais
I must admit that I longed for time to read this book but never found any extra moments to turn the pages. I think I was a little afraid to pick it up because a friend told me that it was hard to understand some of the French Culinary jargon that was prevalent throughout. … Read More »
Two folks who have given me several great recommendations for television series to watch told me about Serial and were confident that I would LOVE It.Serial is not a television series, nor a book, but rather a podcast exploring a nonfiction story over multiple episodes. Episodes vary in length and are available weekly.… Read More »
This is my Meadowlake Book Club’s choice for March. I’ve just started reading it but can already tell I’m going to like it. Goodreads gives it a 3.99 average rating and Amazon gives it 4.1/5 Stars. … Read More »
American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History
by Chris Kyle by Harper
I’ll admit, I haven’t read the book but I saw the movie with my husband on the day it was released in theaters. Bradley Cooper was in a word: AMAZING. This movie does an excellent job of giving insight into the day to day activities in the war that our American soldiers face in the middle east. … Read More »
I read this best selling true story years ago and LOVED the book! I just realized that Dunwoody United Methodist Church is doing a small group study about it starting today! ~Audra
