A Light in the Window

Another charming read. It was good to reconnect with the characters in this quaint town. It's a good holiday read because it is not overwhelming, sad or depressing. I would love to visit a town like this if it in fact exists, with knowing each and every person's history, supporting each other and the town parties and festivities that everyone has to play a role in. I like how the characters' stories continue to wind together and new relations are discovered plus the inclusion of one of two outsiders to keep the story going. I was also happier reading this story since it focused on only a few of the characters and did not have as much character introductions, as the first book did. Made it much easier to follow the book. I am looking forward to reading more in the storyline and to continue to see the evolving characters!

The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis
 
Difficult, Boring, Confusing
The Screwtape Letters

Confusing at first- I felt like I was only listening to half of a conversation. Definitely need to sit and read pretty much all at once so there is less confusion and you can try to follow the sequence of events. Entertaining at times.

Julie & Julia

It was a lively discussion but most of us did not like the book, we preferred the movie which was kind of strange since normally we all vote the other way!

The Age of Innocence

A little slow moving but I can see why it was a classic.

Beneath a Marble Sky

This book generated great discussion plus some of us are so interested we may continue to read some non-fiction information about the Taj Mahal! Road trip?!

The Thirteenth Tale

We had fun discussing our reactions to the plot twist at the end of the book. Plus it was interesting to find that we all had different thoughts as to what the "thirteenth tale" was!

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand

The book had great character development and you really had a personal reaction to the characters but moved slowly at some points. The ending was quick and ended pleasantly.

Another Piece of My Heart

We had a pretty strong reaction- at times the book seemed realistic but when we explored, it reminded us that events like those that happened in the book do happen even though the situation with the biological mother cutting herself off completely seemed unrealistic.
