According to today's Buzzfeed https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tomiobaro/jojo-moyes-the-giver-of-stars-kim-richardson-bookwoman-of it sounds very much like this book represents a significant plagiarism. Who has read both Book Woman, by Kim Michele Richardson which came out first and Mrs. Moyes' book, and what is your take on this controversy?

This was my Book Club Pick for my Sister's Book Club. My sister originally read The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek earlier this year and suggested it to me. When trying to decide what my next Book Club pick would be, I found this book amongst my "To Read" and decided to this book would be my pick, but before I started this book, I did read The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek so we would both be on equal footing with 2 books about the Pack Horse Librarians.

I loved both books and both books stand on their own. I am sure there are many stories about the Pack Horse Librarians that we don't know about and we should. Talk about women ahead of their time! (less)
