Book List

Books!  What would we do without books?

I'm ready with another stack of books to read--maybe, these

will last through the summer--

depends if we are home bound often

Noah Gordon had a smash hit with his book "The Physician"--

sorry that I didn't read it--will keep my eyes out for a copy on Paperback Swap

In the meantime, I'm readying "The Winemaker"--setting is late 1800's in Northern Spain--

and of course, wine making is involved!  

Jennifer Chiaverini's "The Sugar Camp Quilt" will be a light hearted read --

taking place during years leading up to Civil War in Creek's Crossing, Pennsylvania

Jennifer has written numerous books about quilting and quilters--this one was

found on PBS

Another PBS book is Shari Lapena's "The Couple Next Door"

described as nerve racking unraveling--we'll see!

Historical on the agenda:

"Hidden in Plain View"--this is the secret story of quilts and the

underground railroads--movies have been made about this route

for slaves seeking freedom--it's time to see how they achieve

their goals with the written word.

"Cotton" by Stephen Yafa---The biography of a revolutionary fiber!!

So much to learn about a fiber I like to spin and so many of us

use in our everyday life.

Now, these books have already been read and set off  for someone else

to enjoy--Another PBS find:  Mike Blakely--author, singer-songwriter

presents two novels in one volume--"The Snowy Range Gang" and

"Vendetta Gold"--both western settings.

A new author to me is Jeff Carson and the first in his series set

in Colorado small town, "Foreign Deceit" --from the first page

I was pulled into this drama--of course, it helps that I love anything

to do with Colorado.  I plan to order other books in this series with

his hero David Wolf

John Sanford--one of my go to authors--"Masked Prey"--love

the Prey series with characters you journey with through

their trials and tribulations

No matter where we are  or what we do, Books take us into

a world of  adventure, sadness, joy, happiness, a place

where we escape if just for an hour or two.

Happy reading!!
