The Secret to Southern Charm (Peachtree Bluff #2)
by Kristy Woodson Harvey Well, folks, I read number two of this series, and it did not disappoint. In fact, it made me love the series so much more and anxious to read #’s 3 and 4. The characters are so easy to love and empathize with and Harvey makes it an easy light read…

Let’s talk about…Evelyn Hugo
We read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo for the podcast and I’m still thinking about her. Talk about a character who impacts the lives of the readers. I would like to know if Taylor Jenkins Reid intended for Ms. Hugo to be such an impacting character. Although she often had some situations that I…

Let’s talk about…psychological thrillers
Psychological thrillers. What can you say about them? Several words that come to mind are suspense, twists, turns, thrilling, unpredictable, surprises.

How do you keep track of what you read?
How many times have you bought the same book over and over only to realize, I’ve read this before? For me, too many to count to the point that I needed to find a way to track. So I first had a notebook where I would list all the books. Then, the digital age arrived…

Are you a series reader or a stand-alone?
Here’s another age old reader’s question: Do you prefer series or stand-alone books? For me, I get drawn into the story, the characters, their lives. I get sucked into series and hate when a book just ends, leaves me hanging. Often when I read a stand alone book, I wonder, what’s next? What happened to…

Book First or Movie?

Recently, for the podcast, we read The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ana Brashares. I LOVE this movie series. I’ve watched them a million times. So when…
