From time to time on Stamp Club days - at lunch - we talk about good books we've read. I jotted some down and got them for Christmas -- some still waiting to be read.
One I heard about at a Bible Study last year I finally got and thoroughly enjoyed.
When Crickets Cry - by Charles Martin.
I also ordered some other books by him - Wrapped in Rain was excellent also.
I have several others, but haven't read them yet. And I noticed on Amazon.com that he had just had a new one come out.
And if you've read the Mitford Series books (some of my all time favorites - very light, enjoyable reading) by Jan Karon - there is a new companion novel - Home to Holly Springs. That was enjoyable also, although not quite as light a fare as the series. Also made me think of Laura as I think Holly Springs is close to Madison where she and Scott and the kids moved last year. Or it may be that Holly Springs is close to Jackson where her mother is (am I right Laura?) I think it mentioned Jackson in the book - but I couldn't find it when I flipped back through it to look. We miss you Laura!
I asked those that came to Play Day the other day to send me a list of books they've read and enjoyed -- so I know what to add to my Wish List! Thanks, Pat, for sending me your list!
Oh - by the way - "Eddie" said that Kathy Bradley's (who has the column in every other Sunday's paper) book is on preorder now through Amazon. I love her writing - the way she paints pictures with words - so I know I'll order her book soon.

I also love Charles Martin. "When Crickets Cry" is the best book that I have read in a long time.
