I just finished reading The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd and loved it! She also wrote The Secret Life of Bees which I enjoyed also.
I haven't been reading much in the last few months but I know this book is going to be the beginning of my summer reading marathon. It's already too hot to work in my flower gardens, so I 'll have lots of time to read. Let me know if you have any recommendations.
I really enjoyed this book too. I like her writing style.
ReplyDeleteI saw the movie - so I imagine the book was much better. Sorry I don't have one to recommend - Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteI loved this book and that the novel was narrated by a teenager and an intelligent teenager, at that. The essence of the spirituality is magnificent. But I wonder why the author used the language she did. I think she could have written a much better book if she had found "tasteful" ways to say the same things. Just my thought on what I really thought was a breathtaking story!
ReplyDeleteI'll think about that recommendation...
Haven't read it, but I do own it. Not much reading going on here, either! Good to know you recommend it. Thanks! I adore your Corgis. Mine don't like their scarves. ; )
ReplyDeleteI read that with my book club. It was wonderful.

hi, I liked those too. I like to read and get suggestions from others. This blogger has a really good book list....http://anniejoysletters.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThe Help (soon to be a movie) is a popular read for quite a while on the best seller list, and I liked Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter. Happy summer reading.
