It's embarrassing to admit that I've forgotten the basic plots of almost all the books on this list, even though I'm fairly sure I enjoyed each one while I was reading it. I know for certain that I've liked every Barbara Freethy book I've read so far, so Daniel's Gift must have been good, too. In The Sweetest Thing the lead female owned a candy shop, I think. Or regularly visited a candy shop. Or was it a bakery? I don't know, but it was something sweet. The only non-fiction book on this list is When I Married My Mother, and the fact that I remember quite a bit about this one speaks to the wisdom of giving a book a title that clearly hints at its contents. Good planning, Jo Maeder.

My library is getting the book about zippy for me. I have nothing to read. It is harder to find non fiction to read.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll enjoy the book. Recently I made up a quick list for my life writing group of memoirs I'd found interesting. You may have read most of these, but maybe there'll be one or two that'll be new to you. The list is in no particular order, except that The Glass Castle is probably my favorite.
