Alabama Moon: by Watt Key Recommended for readers grades 5-8
I picked this book out for my 7th grader last summer at one of my favorite nearby bookstores. Words can’t express how I feel seeing him lately with his nose buried deep in this book! My boys read some…but not as much as I’d like. … Read More »

This is my Meadowlake Book Club’s book of the month for December. I procrastinated starting it because it is a little long and it has several books in the series. Yes, I love series but my name is Audra and I’m a book-a-holic. I’m having to stop reading in order to type this post and that makes me mad! … Read More »

I saw the trailer for this book-turned-movie while watching television on Monday night and gasped! I remember devouring this book in one weekend a few years ago.

It’s a strange concept but this thriller kept me turning the pages and mistrusting everyone in the book! … Read More »
Wow..what an amazing memoir/Christian testimony from a young woman who was a metro Atlanta High School student not so long ago.
