My Latest Checkout List from the Library
No real thoughts on any of these.  None of them were amazing and none of the stunk.  I may change my mind later, after letting them sit for a while.  If that changes, I'll be sure to let you know.  Any one of these books is worth reading:
1.  The James Boys: A Novel Account of Four Desperate Brothers by Richard Liebmann-Smith
2.  Rosewater and Soda Bread: A Novel by Marsha Mehran
3. Lord, Save Us From Your Followers: Why is the Gospel of Love Dividing America? by Dan Merchant
4. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrow
If I had to choose one to suggest, I would say that The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society would have to be my pick.  It's a novel in the form of letters set in Post World War II England.  A sweet novel for certain.  This book made me a bit wistful for the days of real written correspondence.  I am not so sure I dig the whole e-mail, texting, Facebook status thing, even though I am an active participant.  A nicely worded note still holds a lot of weight with me.  Back to the library tomorrow.  I am seriously jonesing for some good reads.
