Recent Reads - Stormy Weather

I throroughly enjoyed this book and found myself thinking about what will happen next during the day, awaiting the time I could read some more.

Stormy Weather by Paulette Jiles takes place in Texas during the Dust Bowl/Depression and it is not aa depressing story as you may think.  It is rather up beat for the times and although the family in the story experience some really tough times, they always seem to keep it together as best as they can.

I think I will carry this story with me for a long time as a reminder that no matter how many challenges life throws at me, I will never have experienced extreme hard times. 

I rate this one a 4.5!  Give it a try ♥

Recent Reads

I just finished reading Jennifer Donnelly's lastest book Revolution and I loved it.  It is one of those reads that you can't put down and are sad that you finished it because you want more. 

This is the second Jennifer Donnelly book that I have read and I loved them both.  She has a way of putting fictional characters smack in the middle of a historical event and makes the story totally believeable.

I definately recommend giving this one a try!

My Newest Favorite Book

I love a good story.

My most recent favorite book is a fictional story set around the historical Chester Gillette - Grace Brown murder case of 1906.

This book really doesn't focus on the murder itself, but of a young girl's life who just happened to be working at the Big Moose Inn when it happened.

A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnely is fantastic and I recommend it for your next read! I had read Murder in the Adirondacks by Craig Brandon several years ago and I recommend reading that first as a historical account of the incident first, just so you know what really happened!

And if you are interested in the true story, here is a link that gives you a brief account.
