Home at Last by Judith Keim ~ a Review
by Susan Roberts
"Staring out at the rolling hills and the rows of grapevines, devoid of their fruit after the harvest, she saw the goodness of the land, it's beauty, and most of all, the comforting prospect of more harvests to come. She thought of this continuity of life as a renewal of her own." (p 1)

5 Authors of Beach Books to Read Now
by Donna Huber
Every summer there are a ton of "beach read" books released that I never get the chance to read. This summer is probably going to look a little different. We may not be heading to the beach or the public pool. With some schools finishing up early and most of us home, now might be a great time to catch up on our beach reading. So fill up the kiddie pool and pull out the lounge chair...

The German Heiress by Anika Scott ~ a Review
by Susan Roberts
"Everybody stole. Organized, they called it.
They organized coal off moving trains. They organized cars left alone in the streets. They organized pipes from houses where unexploded bombs nested on the roofs. Mostly, they organized food. Dug up fields and slaughtered cows. Hijacked trucks and robbed stores...Everybody organized one way or another. (p 1)

The New Husband by D.J. Palmer ~ a Review
by Donna Huber
It was a chilly predawn morning when Anthony Strauss eased Sweet Caroline, his seventeen-foot Boston Whaler, from the trailer into water so dark it was indistinguishable from the sky. To the east, the rising sun raced along the riverbank, igniting the shoreline of Lake Winnipesaukee in a buttery glow. Anthony cast his lure about twenty feet out and was beginning to slowly reel in his line when he noticed a fellow boater some forty yeards off his starboard. (p. 1)

by Susan Roberts
Have you ever had a book hangover? If this is a new bookish term for you, here is the description:
Book hangover. Noun. The struggle of trying to reconnect with reality after finishing a really amazing book. All bookworms, nerds, and avid readers know the feeling of finishing that book and not knowing what to do with oneself. It's like saying goodbye to a good friend.
