I finished Land Girls by Angela Huth this morning. I thoroughly enjoyed it. A nice find on the library shelves.
I finished A Time To Embrace by Karen Kingsbury last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Next up Land Girls by Angela Huth. Something I found on the shelves at the library yesterday.
I finished up Visions Of Sugar Plums by Janet Evanovich early this morning.
Picking A Time To Embrace by Karen Kingsbury next.
Have decided to pick Visions Of Sugar Plums by Janet Evanovich to read next.

Did you like "Garden Spells"? Have you read "The Sugar Queen" too?
Garden Spells was the first book of hers for me. I am sure I will read her others. This book reminded me of Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman.
I finished Buffalo Valley by Debbie Macomber last night. A satisfying end to a delightful series.
I haven't decided yet what I will read next.
My October Reads Were:
A Yellow Raft In Blue Water by Michael Dorris
Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen
The Queen's Fool by Philippa Gregory
Homicide In Hardcover by Kate Carlisle
Finished up Homicide In Hardcover by Kate Carlisle this morning. I would categorize it in the cozy mystery genre. I rated it a 3 out of 5 stars. It was okay for what it was.
Next up for me will be Buffalo Valley by Debbie Macomber. This book will finish up the Dakota series by her that I have been reading this year.
Saying Hello! It's been awhile since I posted.
I'm reading Homicide In Hardcover by Kate Carlisle. The first book for this author. The main character restores old books. Murder has occured in her world.
A fun little cozy mystery.
I finished Always Dakota by Debbie Macomber. A delightful book about a community in North Dakota.
Looking over my shelves of books I have picked Stones From The River by Ursula Hegi next.
Finished up Seven Up by Janet Evanovich last night. Another fun Stephanie Plum. Next I will be reading Suddenly One Summer by Barbara Freethy. Something I picked up at the grocery store.
I am reading Seven Up by Janet Evanovich.
Here are my July reads.
Just Beyond The Clouds by Karen Kingsbury
Summer Sisters by Judy Blume
London Holiday by Richard Peck
Can't Wait To Get To Heaven by Fannie Flagg
Just Beyond The Clouds and Can't Wait To Get To Heaven were my favorites.
I am about to begin Summer Sisters by Judy Blume.
In June I read:
Hot Six by Janet Evanovich
Dakota Home by Debbie Macomber
Dewey: The Library Cat by Vicki Myron
The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader by C. S. Lewis
Ordinary Life by Elizabeth Berg
The Girl With No Shadow by Joanne Harris
A lot of books for me in one month.
<The Well, and the Mine - Gin Phillips. This fairly short book was a slow read for me. Set in rural Alabama in 1931 it starts out with the mystery of who threw a dead baby in the Moore family's well, but after that it just becomes a kind of set piece on being poor in the South during the Great Depression. All the characters were upstanding, decent, hardworking and honest but I still didn't like them that much, and no comments, please, about the possibility that I just can't relate to such good people! <g> My F2F group members like this one a lot more than I did.

Connie, I read this book earlier this year. For me it was special as my mother was born and raised in the town the story is set in. I kept expecting to read the names of my grandparents.
I am in the midst of reading one of the C.S. Lewis Narnia books. The one I am reading is The Dawn Treader. In this one the youngest two children are off on a voyage with Prince Caspian looking for unknown lands

What did you think of The Sec..."
I did not like it as much as I hoped I would. The story of Rosemary and her leaving Tasmania for NYC and making a life there I liked. Towards the middle it got bogged down for me.
I just finished Hot Six by Janet Evanovich this morning. Another one that I enjoyed. I was laughing so hard last night while reading it I could barely continue on.
Next up for me is Dakota Home by Debbie Macomber.
