Here is a Book that Jean Pici is just finished reading and wanted me to share it with you:
Just finishing up a really good read, "Briar Club" by Kate Quinn - set in McCarthy era Washington D.C. the bonds formed by a diverse group of ladies in a dilapidated boarding house. Farmgirls, it has EVERYTHING - mystery, political intrigue, romance, action, murder, bigotry, the heartbreak of lost love, enduring loyalty, lies, incredibly strong women and some great recipes. LOL. Give it a try. I think you'll love it!
Thank you Jean I might need to read this one.
Big Hugs,
Debbie

I finished the book last night, Wanda Sue. I don’t know how I feel about it…not sure why. I usually read books that have the fairy tale ending and aren’t as heavy topic wise. But I would have liked to see the end a bit different or to have an epilogue. :)
Rae, I will have to check out that book! :)

Faith & a Simple Life by Julie A. Murphree. Love the way Julie writes, like sitting across from a friend talking and I met her on this forum! Simplicity in my life is what I crave and this adds faith with it but not preachy.

Both your books sound good
Love to read. Has anyone read the woman by Kristin Hannah? Great author. Also read all my secrets by Lynn Austin and the divine proverb of struesel by Sara Bruns Wald, and a book by a friend Elizabeth Wehman when the world shouts loud. Love recommendations from other readers.

Vanessa, that book sounds very interesting. I just looked it up. It looks like it comes in another language as well. I bet my kids would enjoy this book.

I just finished Ina Garten's, Barefoot Contessa, autobiography. I really enjoyed it and could identify with most of what she had to say. I am currently reading Nemonte Nenquimo's "We Will Be Jaguars, A Memoir of My People". She is an Ecuador Amazon native. Her peoples story is very powerful and riveting. I recommend both of these books about these very strong women.

Houses With a Story is a graphic book by Seiji Yoshida that I read as an Ebook. Different houses are drawn, including blueprints, and a brief description of the occupants. I can imagine myself living in some of the houses.

I have read The Parable of the Sower and am currently reading Parable of the Talents by Octavia Butler. These are very heavy books to read. Do not think these books are for entertainment. They are for thought.

Nancy, I really enjoy mysteries and am a big fan of Jacqueline Winspear's "Maisie Dobbs" series.
Have fun using the ideas from your book Shennandoah, hope they come out like you planned.
.
I just finished a terrific book that just came out this year written by Sara Nisha Adams. It is her second book called, "The Twilight Garden". It takes place in London during 2019 where a couple of strangers are forced to share their back garden. They finally quit bickering with each other when someone puts photos of what the shared garden looked like years ago. Restoring the garden helps bring them and their community together as friends. Really a pleasant and cheerful read though the ending made me tear up. I look forward to reading more books from this new author.
Keep reading!

I just finished reading this book. Much easier to get through and comprehend than most books on the topic and I have a few great ideas to use in the garden including a productive and eco friendly way to cool down the greenhouse in a Texas summer. Can’t wait to see if it works!  |

My husband and I are ready some fun mysteries. Over the years as educators, we have had to read things for our careers. Now retired, we get to read for fun and are really enjoying it! I have been reading Robert B. Parker novels, while my husband has been reading the C.J. Box books. We are enjoying our daily reading time. and enjoying retirement as well. It is so much fun hearing what everyone is reading!

Thanks for the recommendation Winnie. I read the book and learned more than I had ever known about Benjamin Franklin.
I just finished reading Anna Lee Huber's new book, "Sister's of Fortune". The story is based loosely on the lives of the Fortune sister's. Their family decided to travel back on the Titanic after their 4 month Mediterranean/European/Egyptian tour. The story was based on many actual facts about the passengers and the Titanic. I found it difficult to put down. Hope everyone can find it at their library, its well worth reading!

I just finished Walter Issacson's biography of Benjamin Franklin. Beautifully written and easy to read, I was stunned at how little I knew about one of America's most important Founding Fathers If you love history, this is both a fun and enlightening read.

Do you recommend The Quite Nice and Fairly Accurate Good Omens Script Book?

Vanessa Neverwhere is one of my favorites. My daughter and I love the good omens series on Amazon too.
I’m having to read loads of non fiction for work so probably nothing of interest here (business books). Though I am reading about raising sheep! |

I have gravitated to listening to audiobooks while I quilt. So far I've gone through Terry Pratchett's books and am listening to a collection of Neil Gaiman.
