I've loved books my entire life and gravitate towards historical novels and memoirs though I really enjoy books that can make me laugh out loud too! If a book is well written and interesting I can read just about anything and I have no problem stopping in mid chapter if I don't like it. Books drawn from a writer's personal experience also... more »

  • Shantaram: A Novel

    Shantaram: A Novel

    by Gregory David Roberts
    • Rated 5 stars

    “I could have put this book on my favorites after the first few chapters but I waited till the end. I loved this book and I was intrigued by this man. One reviewer said "it makes your life seem mundane." I thought after reading that they had a point! The author does not say this is a memoir but it obviously follows his life so it makes you wonder where the made up parts are if they exist. I will miss reading Shantaram but I'm glad my husband picked it up and was drawn in so I'll be able to discuss the book as he reads it. ”

  • My Baby Book
    • Rated 5 stars

    “This was an all time favorite for both my younger sons. We read it so often that I personalized the story for each of them and would add birthdays and events, some true and some future ones I made up. They loved it and always fell asleep before they had to pick me up in their arms and rock me.”

  • Cane River
    • Rated 3 stars

    “I enjoyed this book and thought the first time author did a wonderful job in piecing her family history together. It was richly done until the last two chapters and I found myself a little disappointed. Still, it was a good read and I loved the fact it was in Cajun Country. ”

    “This book is hilarious!! It was one of our favourite read aloud books when they were in 1st and 2nd grades. (I still think it's pretty darn funny.)”

  • Rhett Butler's People
    • Rated 5 stars

    “This was such a great book and such an interesting/different perspective too. I thought the Tara sequel was lukewarm and was initially concerned about Rhett Butler's People but I wasn't disappointed a bit. I was sad the book ended and hope Mr. McCaig provides this book with a sequel! Well done!”

  • Gods in Alabama
    • Rated 1 stars

    “I'm not sure I can finish this book. I found it unbelievable and the main character doesn't seem to have any redeeming qualities that can make me like a murderer. The way the book is written jumps around too much for my taste too. I loved the title and was so looking forward to loving the book but I'm making myself read it and that's just no fun.”
