Leaving Time
by Jodi Picoult What can I say? Jodi Picoult is in my top 5 of authors. Her research and storytelling is impeccable. You may recognize her name from one of our first episodes, The Storyteller: a heavy read but SOOO good. This one definitely did not disappoint. Jenna is a young girl who believes that…

Christmas in Peachtree Bluff (Peachtree Bluff #4)
by Kristy Woodson Harvey So, I couldn’t resist and had to finish what’s left of the series. The library only had an audiobook version, and that was something new.
