I find were the sun is shining the brightest, weather it be my sofa by the window, or my comfy leather chair in my "growing" library. The best place to read is on the grass under my apple tree a glass of Chardonnay in one hand, a book in the other and fresh brie from my neighbouring village, waiting to be peeled back and eaten...oh, this is a... more »

    Snapper

    Think Olive Kitteridge only the main character is a young man who counts birds for a living and it is set in Indiana, but the format of the novel is similar. I enjoyed the author's writing style and look forward to reading more of his work.

    Equal of the Sun

    I was interested in the characters but often couldn't figure out who was who. I learned lots about the Persians in the 1500's and what the shahs and their families did at court. It was too long though, whew, I was glad to finish it!

    Beautifully written. What would we do if we could do it all over again? What choices would we make, what would be our most important decisions? Kate Atkinson takes us on a beautiful journey through Ursula's life many times over, you would l think it would be repetitious but it never is, showing what a gifted writer she is. I wish I had read this with my book group, it is a book that begs to be discussed.

    Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore

    Great message from this book. Think of it as a toned down DaVinci Code with a gentler, kinder protagonist. The info about google was really interesting. Best part was the information about Aldus Manutius..the stained glass window at the library where I work is of Aldus and his printing press.

    Calling Invisible Women

    I loved the premise of this book, but it went a bit too far for me to really enjoy the story.
