“Are you sleeping” by Kathleen Barber is definitely a book you don’t want to miss! The book centers around two twin sisters whose father’s murder will change their every relationship.

This was such a good book! It had it all – love, mystery, suspense, and family relationships. All the parts of a great read are found within these 402 pages. You will love the quirky characters, or as I refer to them, my sisters by another mother. Olivia Martindale ran away and left her home, […]

Life Changes for Everyone . . .

Patty Pick for 03/15/18 is “Redemption Road” by John Hart

The Last Ballad by Wiley Cash
Earlier this year, I impatiently looked forward to the next novel by Wiley Cash. So you can imagine my excitement to hear that he would be the keynote speaker at the NC Writers Network 2017 Fall Conference. The fact that his next book would be published right before the conference made it even more of […]
Patty Pick for 1/11/18 is “Hillbilly Elegy” by JD Vance
I had read a lot about this book on different forums and it was high on my to-read list. At our annual Book Club dinner in December we do a book exchange, and after much finagling I was able to “steal” away with this book! Yeah! Of course, one of the first things I had to […]
