About this author
Mick Jagger surprised me with his funny chops, but I'll always remember this episode for its moving farewell to Kristen Wiig.

Description:
Joshua Reed knows how to play new kid: hang back, don’t talk too much, become invisible. Things get rough after his dad becomes a recruiter for the US Air Force during the Vietnam War, and they move to a town that’s already lost sons in battle.
Then Joshua rescues Jack from the pound. Jack yanks Joshua from the sidelines to the front lines and before Joshua can help it, he butts heads with Alan Prater, the toughest kid around. Joshua would like to be friends with Ray, but Ray and Prater are cousins, and Prater’s not letting outsiders in.
Joshua soon discovers being a recruiter’s son during an unpopular war doesn’t make fitting in easy. But Jack makes everything okay. With his strange glowing ears and unique ability to understand Joshua’s feelings, Jack is the perfect friend. When late-night disturbances rip through town and everything points back to his beloved dog, Joshua will have to fight for Jack, his family, and his new home.

Description:
At the Meriwether, Florida's famous antebellum hotel off of Hope Springs, nothing is quite as it seems. Secret staircases give way to servants' quarters; hidden tunnels run criss cross under the hotel; and rooms on the top floors sit abandoned, draped in cobwebs and darkness.
None of this scares Allie Jo Jackson; she's lived at The Meriwether her whole life and knows every square inch of the hotel a hundred times over. Nothing surprises her. Nothing, that is, until the first time she spots the enigmatic and beautiful Tara emerging from the springs. Tara's shimmery skin, long flowing hair, and strange penchant for moonlight swims disguise a mysterious secret--and once Allie Jo and her friend Chase learn the truth about Tara, nothing will ever be the same again.

| Loved it. Felt like I was reading Elizabeth Berg or Anne Tyler. Slightly disappointed with ending, but still, this novel is well worth the time spent reading it. I enjoyed it very much and look forward to devouring the rest of Jeffrey Eugenides's wor...more | |

| Loved it. Loved the urgency/dissatisfaction/restlessness that lay just below the surface. Great ending! | |
