I look forward to your reading list and comments every month, Amanda. I jot down the ones that look interesting to me (us) and read the reviews on Amazon. Our very favorite author is one you suggested (Charles Todd) and there are other books we've loved that we wouldn't have read without your suggestion. Thank you!!!
Here's one for you: "The Interestings: A Novel". A YA book about adolescents in a summer camp and their relationships throughout their lives. Reading it now and loving it!
Thanks!! I'll put it on my TBR (to be read) list :-)
