Here’s a list of what I’ve read since posting last with a yes, no, or meh (good for the beach, but nothing very satisfying) rating:
Lord John & The Brotherhood of the Blade – Diana Gabaldon: Yes
Lord John & The Hand of Devils – Diana Gabaldon: Yes
Lord John & The Private Matter – Diana Gabaldon: Yes
Keep A Little Secret – Dorothy Garlock: Meh
Solomon’s Oak – JoAnn Mapson: YES (more emphatic when I use all CAPS, right?)
Blue Rodeo – JoAnn Mapson: Yes
The Wilder Sisters – JoAnn Mapson: Yes
The Poisonwood Bible – Barbara Kingsolver: YES YES
I realize I’m probably the last person on earth who hadn’t read The Poisonwood Bible. I have no idea why I resisted for so long! It was a phenomenal book. Hey, did I ever tell you guys that once my in-laws were in the Unclaimed Baggage store in Alabama (where all lost/unclaimed/misplaced airline baggage and freight goes to die), and in their book area, they found a copy of The Poisonwood Bible right up there on the rack with all the other Bibles for sale? That story will always make me laugh, just like this comic I saw recently:
And these quotations from my children may amuse you, too:
Timon: Why don’t you go do one of your puzzles?
Henry: No, I have greater plans.
Maria (after draining her cup): Now, I want some more water and I said the magic word already.

What were his greater plans?
Love the comments from the kiddos! I tell the story about Mom and Unclaimed Baggage and it always gets a good laugh! Thanks for more book recommendations. Have you read other things by Barbara Kingsolver, if not I highly recommend them - Pigs in Heaven great!

Also: I love your kids.

LOL at DG books! Of course!
I haven't read the Poisonwood Bible. I'm afraid of the sad!
