I'm all into English Royalty , also. I'm an authority on Wallis & Edward read so many books about them. LOL  Bet that was an interesting time in history to have lived when all that was going on. Prince George is a doll baby he's so cute. That one picture that was taken of him when he was christened and he had his hands up in the air that was the best shot in the world. How in the world they captured that just at that exact moment when he done that is a wonder !

Princess Charlotte, I believe is due to be christened July 5th.

Just finished The Art Of Hearing Heartbeats/Jan-Phillip Sedker, a fairly quick and enjoyable read.   Just this morning started Big Stone Gap/Adriana Trigiani.  So far, so good.

I really liked BIG STONE GAP. It's nothing special, just an enjoyable read about every day people. She is able to write just the way they (Tennesse dwellers as I recall) speak and it can be very entertaining. There's a whole series if you care to go on, and a movie which is not getting exactly overwhelmingly positive reviews

Re-read To Kill a Mockingbird in anticipation of her second book - the original is so wonderful. Then read THE PLUM TREE - a WWII story - a Jewish boy and German girl and their trials and tribulations. Even together in a concentration camp. Writing was just OK. I gave it 3 of 5 stars.

I loved the Ava Maria series (Stone Gap and Cherry Holler). I think there were 3 or 4 of them in the series. I thought the first one was best, and they were a little less fabulous as they continued, but even the least impressive one was wonderful! I loved her friends and neighbors, and the whole town. I read one more of her books and it was good too, but I kind of stopped reading them after a while.

I'm reading mr Mercedes and liking it very much. I like mind games. Just loaded Mary Higgins Clark new book The melody lingers on. Still don't seem to be able to bold or underline with iPad. Supposed to be coming---I think

I just finished "You Should Have Known" by Jean Hanff Korelitz - absolutely great read!  I have recommended it to all my friends! 

Now reading "The Vacationers" by Emma Straub...hope it gets better - so far, I'm not thrilled with it.

I heard about the movie which is what spurred my interest in reading the book.  I've read two of Adrianna's books, My Very Valentine and The Shoemaker's Wife.  I enjoy her easy style of writing...

I also recently read The Same Sky by Amanda Eyre Ward - very easy read though a little upsetting in parts - I liked it very much - and want to check out the author's other books.  The title was taken from this quote attributed to Konrad Adenaur.

We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon

Well, I finished re-reading book 2 of the Fifty Shades series so I may as well re-read book 3 again, Fifty Shades Freed by E.L. James.

It's amazing how much I forgot since I read these books, what was it, 3 years ago when they came out?

Last night I finished The Rumor by Elin Hilderbrand ~ loved it!  I am now going back and reading all her others as The Rumor is the newest ~ Love her style, her characters and, of course, Nantucket!

Happy Reading ~
