OMA1229Task 30.8-A Reading Tribute to Those We Love
Option 1- Choose a book that reminds you of a family member
My mother had a great impact on my life and she was the one who instilled in me a love of reading. Though she is no longer with us, I still remember seeing her read and discussing books with her. She read all types of books but loved her Harlequin romances and one of her favorite authors was Betty Neels so my choice was:
Year's Happy Ending by Betty Neels
Option 2- Choose a favorite book (4 or 5 stars) from a GR friend.
I chose my friend Peggy and selected this book:
Dreams of Joy by Lisa See
This is the link to her bookshelf:
