dejavu, thanks for that recommendation. Sounds like one I'd like. I enjoy readng books that are set in the 50s, 60s and 70s.

Was that an Irish Catholic family?

Cutesnoop,
I have many books authored by Joyce Meyer. Love the positive
thinking stuff!

Dotsie,
Yes. One of the funniest scenes in the book is at a Catholic wedding.

Dianne50,
I couldn't get that link to go through either. Welcome to our
cyber home.

Just finished reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett. It's about black women and the white women they work for in 1960's Jackson, Mississippi. Good read, especially for a first novel. I'll be looking for more by this author.

I am trying to decide what to read next. I try to vary what I read and just finished a book by Tami Hoag so need something much lighter for the next one! Time to go to Amazon again! LOL

I just finished this one too! Great book and I believe it's based on the author's real experiences growing up in Mississippi.

I believe the same thing. My best friend has the book now and when I get it back from her it goes to another friend. Everyone wants it.

I just finished reading a Danielle Steele. I know, I know..........but sometimes I just like an easy read where I don't have to think. Reading her books is kinda like a guilty pleasure for me. The one I just finished was "Southern Lights". I have a copy of her newest called "Legacy" and am debating starting that, or choosing another book from my basket of books waiting to be read..............was hoping to start a new book this afternoon but my aunt called with a crisis and I need to help her out tomorrow so am now trying to do all the things that were on my list for tomorrow. Sigh.

I'm reading a book titled, "Without A Word"; it's written by
Jill Kelly about her son, Hunter James Kelly who had Krabbe disease. Groovy gave it to me for my birthday. I'm about halfway
through it. Hope to finish it soon. Will let you know what impression I come away with.

I like Nora Roberts, too!
