On "Home In Time for Christmas" by Heather Graham-

An enchanting read filled with holiday wonder and old New England mysticism! Enjoy! :)

On "A Vintage Affair" by Isabel Wolff-

Full of texture and color, sure to appeal to lovers of vintage fashion and chick-lit fans who prefer more emotional depth and a historical twist. Phoebe is an appealing, sympathetic character searching for closure to her best friend's death. When she meets Therese Bell she helps her to find closure and self-forgiveness and, along the way, comes to terms with her own losses.

On "Caught" by Harlan Coben-

Always suspenseful, great read!

On "Marcello In the Real World" by Francisco X. Stork-

This teen book tells the story of the summer between Marcello Sandoval's junior and senior year of high school when his father forces him to take a job in the mailroom of his company. Marcello has Asperger's syndrome and his father wants him to join the real world. This book is written in the first person giving the reader a glimpse into the mind of the main character.

On "Comfort Food" by Kate Jacobs-

Another good Jacobs book. Nice change from the knitting books.

On "Devotion" by Dari Shapiro-

A memoir that assists the reader with her reflections upon life. The reader realizes she is not alone regarding the ponderings of life and purpose. Intense and magnetic reading!! :)

I'll be back with more great reads. In the meantime; find a cool, shady place, a great read and enjoy the summer.
