my summer reading list

my summer reading list this year certainly left much to be desired

both in quantity and quality

the last 5star book i read was "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett

followed by "Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt" by Beth Hoffman

which were both months ago

so i have been craving a book i can't put down

& sadly, have yet to find it

crossing oceans

realized on page 50 something that the main character

is a single mom dying of metastatic melanoma

ummm...won't be finishing this one

if you know my story you'll understand why

one of my fave authors is atlanta local,  Patti Callahan Henry

love all her books

read somewhere that Beach Music was her favorite book

figured if patti loves it

paige will love it

so i toted all 768 pages around

however at page 275 realized i was taking way too long to finish

so its back on the shelf

til later tater

belong to me-fair

a time to dance -fair

cee cee-good

(not to be confused with cee cee honeycutt....k?)

secrets she left behind-fair/good

summers child-fair/good

will of wisteria-good

now you know all about my love of a great cover

having confessed that

obviously my literary choices are usually based on nothing more

again, another book that was taking a while to get into

it probably starts to get fab but i was ready to move on

fair

south of broad-great

what can be said about pat conroy that hasn't already been said

master story teller

did not disappoint

lift-good

an easy read you can wrap up in the carpool line

Cooking in the South

by Johnnie Gabriel

my mom's close friend from back home in Macon Georgia

all you ATL girls must visit her restaurant in Marietta

& ask for the pimento cheese

so good it'll make you slap yo mama!

excellent cook book

& finally

my current read

which came with an excellent recommendation from a fellow book worm

i have high expectations & hope this will be another 5star!
