Recently finished:
Little Chapel on the River; a pub, a town and the search for what matters most, by Gwendolyn Bounds. This book was interesting because I was reading it in early September, and the whole memoir is set in motion by the events of September 11.
The Forgotten Garden, a novel by Kate Morton. Enjoyable, though somewhat predictable.
Now reading:
Love Warrior, a memoir by Ennon Doyle Melton.
On deck:
Being Mortal, by Atul Gawande.
The Woman Who Walked in Sunshine, by Alexander McCall Smith.
The Underground Railroad by a Olson Whitehead
On Fire, be John O'Leary.
That should hold me for awhile!

I have kept up with this series. Still enjoying it - still waiting to see the changes each new installment brings to the lives of Precious Romotswe, JLB Matekone, Grace Makutsi, et al. Although I like the series's languorous pace, the opening chapters of this book were just a bit too slow when I first started to read it. I'll try sometime later this winter - it should be a good rainy day book!

I don't know if I mentioned that I taught that to an eighth grade English class a few years ago. I loved doing it. I am a fellow admirer.
