I'm reading It's. Nice. Outside. by Jim Kokoris and it is WONDERFUL so far. I recently finished reading Light of Hidden Flowers, The by Jennifer Handford and you can read my review here http://drchazan.blogspot.com/2015/11/... - Don't be turned off by the cover or the title. The book is much better than it seems from either of those.

Davida , hope you enjoy Lucy Barton. Glad to see you liked The Light of Hidden Flowers . I have that and will be reading it soon.

I just finished , great book, review to come. Just started , starting out good!

Last night I Fallen Land. 5 stars. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Just finished Wicked Beautiful by J T Geissinger. Loved it! If ARCs aren't available, you can preorder for $.99. Release date: 12/1/16. A feisty heroine set on getting revenge on the only guy to break her heart. Lots of plot twists I did not see coming!

Finished But You Did Not Come Back. 5 stars . My review : https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Just finished , Fallen Land and here is my review:

It has been a while since the writing in a book is just so, so wonderful, so pitch perfect, that I found myself reading sentences, heck whole pages, just to read the wonderful prose again. This is one beautifully written book. The attention to detail is astounding. The western Carolinas and east Georgia have suffered so much destruction, and the people are so hungry that it reads like it could be the landscape anywhere after a war.

We follow Callum, a young man of only 15, who has some skills at stealing horses and had fallen in with some unscrupulous men who are taking advantage of what is left after the Civil War and it’s soldiers have left the land. He decides to go it on his own and comes across Ava, a young woman left alone, her father and brother apparently killed in the war. When the gang of marauders comes across the farm house and Ava, the Colonel immediately takes Ava and “has his way with her”. Callum wants no part of this. After some time he returns to the farm house and rescues Ava and the two of them steal the Colonel’s horse and decide the safest place for them would be the South.
Having killed some of the men in the gang, and stolen the Colonel’s horse Callum is now on the run from the Colonel’s men who think that it was Callum who killed the Colonel.

Over many many miles Callum and the pregnant Ava try to stay ahead of their pursuers who continue to be on their tail no matter how many detours they make. The author describes an injury that Callum has succumbed to with knowledge about how an injury can become infected if not treated. In this as in all details he has obviously done his homework. The description of the mountains and the devastation of the towns is described in such a way that I could visualize it. The young couple’s relationship develops slowly into something more than friendship.

My only hesitation to give this book 5* is that, for me, it moved a little too slowly. I wanted the horse to gallop faster! It is a wonderful book and one that would be good for book clubs with lots to discuss.

I finished The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend. 3 stars. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I loved Lucy Barton. Hope you like it too!

I'm reading

Just read Yann Martel's new book - The High Mountains of Portugal - I'm going to be fascinated by others' perspectives on this one and can hardly wait for more people to read and review it. I was torn between recognizing the brilliance of the novel, enjoying it, and hating it, hahaha I gave it 3 stars - a part of me wants to give it 1 star and another part of me wants to give it 5. So 3 it is ! Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... Sooo, do I recommend it ? Yes, because I want to know what you all think ! :) I also want to ask a specific question...What part of the three parts it is told in is your favourite ? Mine was part 3 - I got lost in that one.



I'm onto Lucy Barton next ! And from the reviews I've already read, I'm looking forward to it !

Just finished this one that I have had on my shelf from the first day I Joined NetGalley a couple of months ago! Oops, ah well at least its done now! :)

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

Just finished . I would recommend this one to specific people who I knew their tastes in reading - having said that, I feel some might miss out, because this is not a book I probably would have picked up had I not read others' reviews. Still, I don't feel it's a book I would give a blanket recommendation for... Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I also agree with Dorie, who reviewed the book above, this book would be a great choice for a group who love to discuss books !

I just started Just MarriedI Again . I picked up the recommendation from another Goodreads/NetGalley friend.
