She sounds a lot like our book club conversations! In fact, we have each brought some possible titles for the next year to our gathering. Now we each have a month to do some research. We'll choose ten titles from among these gems. Anybody out there have some thoughts on books from the list we should not miss? or otherwise? Would love to hear any opinions as part of my "research!"
