Saundra Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 1796 Loc: Daytona Beach, Florida	Just finished SOUTH OF BROAD by Pat Conroy (he wrote PRINCE OF TIDES and many others). An amazing book written from the perspective of one of a cast of sinners and saints in Charleston, South Carolina, that covers their lives from the 60s - 80s. Beautiful and compelling reading. _________________________ What I know for sure is that it's all connected. Saundra Goodman Got Teeth? A Survivor's Guide www.gotteethguide.com for your Free Tips

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I am reading The Vermont Country Store catalog and salivating over all the delicious looking goodies within. This catalog has the most wonderful items of food. I have tried many of them and was never disappointed. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

AmyDoodle Registered: 11/06/07 Posts: 143 Loc: South Carolina	Recently finished Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. So powerful! I can't imagine a world where it's a crime to own a book. Then I think of so many comparisons in our world today and I'm speechless. _________________________ Visit me at www.mindovermullis.blogspot.com "I share a birthday with Abraham Lincoln.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I'd never heard of this, but it sounds like something I'd enjoy. Surprising that it was written in 1953. I just read about it on Amazon. chatty, I visited that store when in Vermont. It was a total step back in time. Have you seen pictures of it? _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	Not reading anything now, but I'm looking for a good "Christmassy", cheery/seasonal type book. This time of year usually puts me in the doldrums so a good "read" about this season to delve into always helps. Anyone know of one?? _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	I'm reading "the Christmas Bus" by Melody Carlson. My girlfriend bought it for me. I'm only half-way through, but am enjoying it. I think you'd like it too. http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Bus-Melo...6560&sr=8-1 _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.

Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	thanks Eagle. I looked it up at our library but is due back Dec 10. I see she has other books...ever read them? Looks like my kind of author. I'll go to the library and read some of her details on her other books. I currently have on hold "The Apple Turnover Murder" by Joanne Fluke...my FAV murder mystery author. Can't wait! _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!

Saundra Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 1796 Loc: Daytona Beach, Florida	Danielle Steel's SOUTHERN LIGHTS. This is a big year for Charleston, S.C. The last book I read, SOUTH OF BROAD, by Pat Conroy also took place in Charleston, S.C. _________________________ What I know for sure is that it's all connected. Saundra Goodman Got Teeth?

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	Saundra, I'm a huge fan of Pat Conroy but did you find his teenage character in South of Broad believable? I thought he was way too mature for his age. _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes

Saundra Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 1796 Loc: Daytona Beach, Florida	Hi, Diane. I enjoyed the book and bought into all of the characters. I've known people who are "old souls" at very young ages. He was a people pleaser to make up for looks, too. By the end of the book, I wished I had had someone like him in my life. _________________________ What I know for sure is that it's all connected. Saundra Goodman Got Teeth?
