I wrote the following book review in October of 2014. I heard the author’s parents speak this morning at a brunch at Dunwoody Country Club and I cried a lot as did everyone at my table. What an amazing story of unconditional love and God’s amazing grace. All parents who have, or will have teenagers to raise, should read it.… Read More »

Several weeks ago Peggy and Lauren told me I “need to get out more”. They are right….so I agreed to host a big book club event and we started planning. Le Meridien agreed to be our venue and also offered an amazing door prize (a weekend getaway at the hotel) plus amazing food and drink specials. … Read More »
I’ve decided I should let Laura Hogan choose all my books. She’s my one friend who reads more than me! I have to be careful with her suggestions though because like her most recent one, it had me STUCK to my Kindle and Audible and ignoring responsibilities until I finished it.
Where the Forest Meets the Stars is the wonderful debut from new author Glendy Vanderah.… Read More »

My dad was raised in a mill village and later became VP of Manufacturing for the very same company where both of his parents worked for 50+ years. Back in Daddy’s day, Mill Villages were tiny towns within towns. He grew up in Columbus, GA in the West Point Pepperell mill village. … Read More »
I haven’t read this one but I’ve downloaded it to Audible AND Kindle to begin this weekend because my friend Laura recommended it and I typically LOVE her recommendations. Here’s what Amazon has to say about it:
“Fans of The Nightingale and Lilac Girls will adore The Things We Cannot Say.” —Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author
In 1942, Europe remains in the relentless grip of war.… Read More »
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a very well written author’s debut. It’s a murder mystery, a backwoods tale, a girl gets revenge saga, and a sweet story of friendship….all wrapped up into one little book that is a very fast read!
Here’s what Amazon had to say about it:
“He’s gonna be sorry he ever messed with me and Loretta Lynn
Sadie Blue has been a wife for fifteen days.… Read More »
Thanks to one our our Aha! Connection Book Club Facebook Group members, Lisa Bragg, for letting us know about this book. The Kindle version is free for Amazon Prime members! I downloaded it yesterday and plan to read it soon. Here’s what Amazon has to say about it:
Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni’s coming-of-age story is, according to Booklist, “a novel that, if it doesn’t cross entirely over into John Irving territory, certainly nestles in close to the border.”… Read More »
I read this book in two days. Sooooo thought provoking, creepy, sad, and suspenseful! ~Audra
“Soon to be a major motion picture starring Nicole Kidman, fans of The Girl on the Train and Gone Girl will love The Silent Wife” ~Amazon

I haven’t read Next Year in Havana yet, but it comes highly recommended from a friend. (Thanks T.S.) I’ve had projects that are keeping me from my reading time but will soon be in need of a new book and I’ve decided this one is it! Reese Witherspoon chose it for her book club last July and I have really liked the few “Reese Picks” that I’ve read! … Read More »

I love movies and books so I particularly love when a book turns into a movie! Earlier this week we gave away passes to an upcoming screening for Where’d You Go Bernadette. I’m trying to obtain a few more passes for the event but meanwhile decided to give away a paperback copy of the book! … Read More »
I tend to lean heavily towards fiction, or at least historical fiction, when choosing books to read. However, I try to make myself throw in a few fact based books fairly often. I chose Killers of the Flower Moon because it was high time for me to read a true story. It also grabbed my attention because of being a best seller, winner of multiple awards, and the story is touted as “the birth of the FBI”.… Read More »
