I love what I love and I read what I read - I make no apologies for either.

I am fortunate to have a great library nearby - sometimes too fortunate, I think. I m always adding to my TBR pile. I'm always looking for suggestions of new books to read and am open to almost any genre. I enjoy looking at other reader's shelves and picking... more »

    I have Ballad of Tom Dooley on audio right now from the library, but haven't started it yet!! I love the Appalachian theme, but I'm pretty intolerant of poor writing when listening instead of reading (probably because I can't control the pace). I'll let you know how it is... And I know what you mean about the TBR mountain, lol.

    Hi, Should you read Howard's End? I have read it many times, and if you're not in the habit of reading classics (I don't see any on your shelf? but maybe that doesn't mean anything) this is one I would recommend if you want to start diving into novels that have been around for a while. I find the two sisters (Helen and Margaret) very engaging. Who could not care what happens to them? I really do love this book.

    Join the Vistas of KY & Appalachian Readers & Authors group as Gail Chandler discusses her book, "The Bluegrass Dream: A Wilderness Adventure of Early Settlers. Here is a brief synopsis of the plot:

    In the middle of a snow storm Jess and her Aunt delivered a stillborn that took the life of Uncle David's wife. Devastated by her Father's death in Kentucky Jess vowed to fulfill his dream of life in Kentucky. Dressed in her twin brother's clothes she tried to follow David to the Bluegrass. Weather, Digger and Hutch two Bluegrass long hunters she met, and Indians made her trip very difficult. She reached the Bluegrass on her own and with her neighbor's help she builds her cabin. Then she shared her secret with them. Digger and Hutch returned to the Bluegrass. Hutch found Jess is Jessica and their friction continued. Bandit and Outlaw, Jess' coons added pranks to her life. David and his party arrived, Jess takes in Lightfoot's runaway sister Fawn, then James and Katherine joined the village near Fort McClelland. Jess' life is filled with work, love, Indian raids, death, new life, accidents, nature's elements, and their camaraderie. Hutch and Jess were to be married when he returned from selling their furs in New Orleans. Illinois Indians captured Hutch an hour before the wedding. Jess with the help of Digger and Bill followed on the rivers to retrieve him.

    The book can be purchased online in both paperback and Kindle at amazon.com for $15.95.
