Mandy left the book "The Book of Negroes" by Lawrence Hill last time she was here, and I read it. The story line and the historical information were fascinating. It was hard to put the book down. A little risque in places, but only within the detailed episodes of personal tragedy and humiliation. Avery good read. Thank you Mandy. Dad.
I'm also reading a book called "Brain Rules", a non fiction book about rules for maintaining brain function and mental abilities. A good read, with many unbelievable facts and figures. A good read. Dad.

I've been reading books by Jennie Hansen lately. She is an LDS author. They books are cop/FBI type dramas with a romance. They obviously have LDS references but not too sappy. Fun, easy reading. Also, I am in the middle of "I Am Hutterite". A story about a girl who was born on the colony and then her family left. That's as far as I've gotten. Will keep you updated. Mom

The Hunger Games

I read the book "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins (I think) while our computer was crashed. It's about a future time when North America has been divided into 12 areas and once a year each area has to send two competitors - a boy and a girl - to the Hunger Games where they fight to the death. The last one standing wins and their division is provided with food etc. for one year while the others continue to scrape by. I wasn't sure I would like it, but I ended up really enjoying the read. It moves along at a good pace and you really start to empathize with the characters. I would recommend it. Oh, but in case you get surprised like I did and are waiting for it to wrap up, it is a series. The next one is coming out right away. I have my name on the list at the library, so I'll let you know if it's as good. I've read that it is even better. Jen

Jane Austen

I just finished reading The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen by Syrie James. I really liked it. It was written as if Jane Austen had done it, so anyone that enjoys her novels would enjoy this book. I recommend it to all fans of Jane Austen for sure. Emily
