I thought the title of this book was very apropos, as it took me a while to piece everything together. After a while the different characters' story started to finally meld together, and I really got into it. I especially found the character of Uncle intriguing; although he had done some very bad things, there was just something about him. And the relationship between Charlotte and her daughters was something I wasn't really expecting. I could never imagine treating my son like she treated her d...more

Somebody Pick Up My Pieces by J. D. Mason is another installment in the lives of the descendents of Charles Brooks, whom I was introduced to in Don’t Want No Sugar; and the daughters of Charlotte Rodgers, introduced in One Day I Saw a Black King. A few pages into the story I began to think I may have missed a book, and have since learned that I had indeed. So before you grab this book, make sure you have read You Have to Sin to Get Saved. In One Day I Saw a Black King, we met John King (the gran...more

More Than A Notion,
Present day - To Charlotte Rodgers' dismay, it's been six months since her daughters, Connie, Clarice and Camille, left her behind in Murphy, Kansas, alone. Selfishly, she blamed them all and vowed to make them pay for how they'd mistreated her, even Reesy, her favorite. What Charlotte doesn't know is that for the last twenty-seven years, her past has been waiting for the chance to reconnect. Has enough time passed or is Charlotte still unprepared for this day?

I am just in love with this series by JD Mason, who is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I could read about John King all day long. I would love to see to a book about John and Connie. I am really over Charlotte, she is just as crazy as they come! I was truly hoping that both Justin and Reesy and Cammie and Ty could make things work in their relationships. The ending was such that their may just be another book with more insight into these couples. I am certain that I am among the few...more
They're back! Their issues go from one extreme to another.
Reesy and Justin are the typical couple dealing with infidelity. Justin's affair drove Reesy to revenge. In the end, the revenge made her feel worse.
Connie and John finally did something right. It took the death of John's father, Adam for them to admit their love for each other.
After losing her baby in a car accident, Cammy moved to be closer to her sisters. After a relationship gone bad, she admits to not being happy. She will do anythin...more

I listened to this on audio. I'm not sure if it's because I have not read the prequels but it was very confusing in the beginning with so many different characters and was slow pulling all the pieces together. I agree with another reader who mentioned this is a hard story line as we never picture our mothers being this way.
This author knows how to write a story! She is amazing. I only wish that she would use different titles...but since I know her work, I just buy it anyway. Once again John and Connie steal this show.
I am giving this 3 stars when I really want to give it 2.5, but because this is my first time reading a novel by J.D. Mason I going to stay with the 3 stars. The storyline would have been great had there not been so many characters. It was so confusing I had to keep going back to make sure I knew what was going on and who they were talking about. All and all it was a very sad story about a Mother that just couldn't get her life together and no matter what the situation, she just couldn't get it...more
JD Mason, has done it again. I truly enjoyed reading this one, although I cannot stand Charlotte. I'm glad she got what was coming to her!
DNF = This might certainly pick up but it's started with some themes I find very hard to read so I've decided to move on.
At first, I was reading so many characters but midway of the novel, I was gradually able to see all the pieces woven together.
I love JD Mason. All her books flow from each other. I hope there's a sequel to this book. I'm dying to know what happens to Charlotte. This book ties up some loose ends. Make sure you read her previous books prior go reading this book. Excellent writing.
Love this book and the way JD Mason joined the characters together from past books.
Love Mason's characters in this novel. The story moves at a fast pace.
Love J.D. Mason!
The pieces slowly fall in place... :)

I loved this book. As with the prequels I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed knowing what was happening next with my favorite (and not so favorite) characters. I wouldn't mind another sequel to this book. J.D. Mason keeps me reading.
stumbled upon this author. this was a good read
Fabulous! JD Mason never fails. I will truly miss the characters but the ending allowed me to have peace about it.
Typical J.D. Mason. Awesome as usual.
