About this author


Hello, reader friends!

Every year for my best friend's birthday, I send her a pound of coffee and a few books I think she'll enjoy. (Two years ago, it was Gone With The Wind, while this year I sent her the first three Flowers In The Attic books by V.C. Andrews -- remember those????) Every year, it gives me absolute, pure pleasure to choose books for her, and I know I love receiving books as gift... Read more of this blog post »

Mrs. Kennedy and Me by Clint Hill
A nice book, but when you contrast it with THE DARK SIDE OF CAMELOT, you're left thinking this is a bit of a "let's help build a nice legacy for JFK's widow" book. Still, interesting.

Benediction by Kent Haruf
Benediction
by Kent Haruf
read in April, 2013
I adored this book. Got it from the library and now will purchase it in hardback to keep on my shelves forever alongside PLAINSONG and EVENTIDE.

The story was tender and gruff, sweet and spare. Absolutely universal. I hope it wins major awards.

“Courteous men learn courtesy from the discourteous.”
Laura Fitzgerald, Veil of Roses

“When the only answer a little girl ever receives is no, from her parents or her teachers or her world, at some point she stops asking for what she wants. She begins to expect nothing, so as not to be disappointed when that exactly what she gets. But, it turns out, I do have wants.”
Laura Fitzgerald, Veil of Roses
