My husband and I were driving near our home when we came across a field full of horses, all colors and many sizes. I’m not a great rider, but I love horses. Seeing all those beautiful animals made me smile. Another thing that makes me smile is a great book, and we have two for you…
I love to “discover” new authors. I’m currently reading two first novels by new-to-me authors. For our April book, our Reading Group chose Guardians of Hallowed Ground, Gettysburg by Thomas J. Ball. Guardians is an account of a time-travel journey made by a group of modern soldiers to the Civil War battle of Gettysburg. Tom’s research is impeccable and his…
Book Review: OUR WITCHDOCTORS ARE TOO WEAK Authors: Davey and Marie Jank Imagine living for years in an Amazon jungle village that doesn’t have the luxury of running water (except in an alligator-infested river).

Our book group met this afternoon. We discussed Jodi Picoult’s PLAIN TRUTH. A great book and a great discussion. (And cheesecake for dessert.) Our book for next month is LIGHT ON SNOW by Anita Shreve. I’ve read this one before and really enjoyed it, but will read it again to refresh my memory. I love discussing…
Yesterday in her post on my blog post, “Kindle,” Cissy Ford said: “Sue, are you going to put your books in the ebook format? Please??” Oh, Cissy, I wish I could. You might notice that if you try to buy ebooks online, you will be able to find ebook versions of the novels that were published…
A few months ago a friend of mine showed me her new Kindle and explained how it works. As ebooks go, the Kindle is reasonably priced, very readable, and even downloads many classics for free. It’s lightweight and small enough to carry in your purse or a roomy pocket. Let me tell you that I…
Let’s celebrate the Valentine month with a couple of love stories. We’ve given away one of these books previously, but I love it so much that we’re giving away another copy.
