A mutual friend that I share with this local author gave me Jaybird’s Song to read several weeks ago. It finally made it to the top of my reading pile and I enjoyed reading it last week. I particularly savor novels set in Atlanta and could genuinely relate to the main character as she is just a wee bit older than me. … Read More »
My good friend Mary K. chose this book for our Meadowlake Book club next month.

However, I started reading it and am fascinated….I think you will be too!… Read More »

Let me just say I must have read this book when it first came out in paperback circa 2012 because I own the actual book..didn’t read it on Kindle. I remember thinking that it was a great read. I just researched and saw that I rated it 5 stars on Goodreads. I also remember thinking that it was an interesting insight into why the main character committed suicide and a good lesson for high schoolers to realize that how they treat people can be the difference in life and death. … Read More »

Milk and Honey was on my Kindle and I’m not even sure how it got there. I don’t remember ordering but I’m guessing it was on sale one day and I just downloaded it on impulse. I ran across it when sitting at Brook Run Park waiting on my son to finish helping the football team set up for Lemonade Days. … Read More »

This one will stick with you for a while. Admittedly if it takes me more than a week to finish a book– that isn’t a good sign. It took me almost two months to finish this book. However, because so many people STRONGLY recommended it to me, I decided to persevere. I’m thankful I did.
I wasn’t sure how Picoult was going to come up with an ending that would satisfy me but the SHOCKING TWIST at the end was perfection.… Read More »
This book certainly lived up to its “unputdownable” status. I simply loved it and have been thinking about Sunshine and Josh all week. Keep in mind, I’m a teenager at heart and I love “young adult” literature. I pretty much read it in one 12 hour sitting….couldn’t put it down.
