Paperbacks
by
Shh_ImReading@evpl
on Thursday, July 30 2009, 3:28pm

I’ve always been a Paul Newman fan, and was aware that a couple of books had been published about him since his death, but couldn’t remember the titles. Along the way to finding those two books ( Paul Newman: a life by Shawn Levy and the People...

Between, Georgia by Joshilyn Jackson
by
HRevvdon@evpl
on Tuesday, July 21 2009, 1:21pm
Between, Georgia (2006) by Joshilyn Jackson is my first read by this author. To tell the truth I was expecting something along the lines of the Fannie Flagg books. Although Jackson's novel is not at all like Flagg's, I was not disappointed in...

Prayers for Sale by Sandra Dallas
by
HRevvdon@evpl
on Wednesday, July 1 2009, 7:54pm
I am a Sandra Dallas fan. I know she usually appeals more to women than men, but her stories are always set in the late 1800's or early 1900's and usually in Colorado or the surrounds and I like them. Prayers for Sale (2009) is no exception, it...
