Hi Angela,

My name is Rita and I absolutely loved this book which I just finished reading. It's a modern retelling of Jane Austen Classic, well written, modern, clever, witty and funny. I really enjoyed it and hopeyou do as well!! AJ Michaels Pride and Modern Prejudice. http://www.amazon.com/Pride-Modern-Pr...

Sarah,

I just came home from a cruise and when I would walk by the people sitting in the sun and reading, I would look at their books because I was curious. At least 10 people were reading this one!

I read it a while back and loved it - gave it 5 stars.

Welcome back , Beth !
Hope you had a great time ! What did you read while in that deck chair ?

Thank you Angela! I didn't read as much as I thought I would but I did finish the 850 page 11/22/63 and then started All the Light We Cannot See. There are so many people and so many activities on a cruise that I didn't get as much reading time in as I thought I would. We spent 3 of the days wandering around in Bermuda so not as much sitting time as my usual vacations. It was fun but I don't think we would do this type of vacation again.

Both of those books were 5 star books for me .
I'm glad you had a chance to relax anyway after the gala .

Thanks, it was nice to get away for a while. My work schedule will be different now as I am not going back to HHF but rather am going to start working on getting our franchise that we bought up and running.

Am currently enjoying Lady of the English, by Elizabeth Chadwick.

Green Lake by S.K. Epperson

This was my second time reading this book, and I fell in love all over again... JoJo Moyes is one of my new favorite authors! Genius :)

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Reading "Falling Angels" by Tracey Chevalier ... and loving every minute!!!

The Wealth Cure.

Finished -- 4 Stars!!

Strong characters, lost moments, a sister who committed suicide 20 years ago... Add in suspense, secrets, and a death, and you've got a book that will be hard to put down.

BetteBookAddict- I can't wait to hear your thoughts on "The Last Runaway". The more I mention it, the better I believe it was. The layers of this story keep sneaking up on me. Hope you enjoy!

I have just finished reading May the Road Rise Up to Meet You. I loved this story of an Irish immigrant, a Spanish immigrant, two slaves and how their paths cross.

I loved 'The Uncommon Reader' - a lovely lightness of touch and gentle humour in the writing.

Annie , I've finished it and agree with you totally ! What a pleasure to read .

Hi Angela,
Would you allow me to recommend two of my novels to you? "Fireflies" and "Hope From the Ocean" are both historical fiction and full of romance, family love and mystery. :) Thank you.

Finished -- 2 Stars

What a commitment! Needless to say, I guess I don't see what all the fuss is about. Think I'm in the minority on this one...

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I always buy my grandsons hardback books for Christmas. Hoping someone here will be able to answer a question I have. Are boys interested in reading books where the main character is male? Or are they open to a female lead character? When I was young, I read anything available to me, but am wondering if it is different with boys ages 11 and 13.

At this age, I would definitely purchase books that focus on a male character.

Thank you Anne.

I just finished reading "Along Came A Spider"

Hi everyone, i'm actually reading" The Edge of Always" by J.A. Redmerski and i don't know what my next read will be, i'm open to all suggetions as long as it's a good book.

Try reading The Saga of Katie Ruth. It's a fast paced epic novel, packed full of factual black history and inspiring personalities.
