Did your mother pass down her love of reading on to you? Do you remember her giving you a copy of Little House On The Prairie or your first Judy Blume book? Maybe she doesnβt read at all and you want to share your passion of books with her. Either way, hereβs a list of some of the best books from multiple genres that will make your mama smile on her special day!
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl by Ree Drummond. This is a great cookbook and the author has an interesting story behind it. Basically, a city girl meets a cowboy and switches gears to become a married pioneer
woman. Her recipes are wholesome and easy.
The Lifeboat by Charlotte Rogan. This book is getting rave reviews and I am hoping to receive this for motherβs day! In 1914, a newlywed on a luxury cruise liner is secured a spot on a rescue boat by her husband after a terrible explosion. The story is about survival and trust as it is evident that in order for some to live, some must also die. Lots of mystery and an apparent page turner.
The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman. I just loved this book. A mystical, magical story about four courageous, loving, flawed women during the Roman Siege over Masada. This educational though fictionalized account is a must for historical fiction lovers.
The Art Of Hearing Heartbeats by Jan-Phillip Sendker.
A fairy tale and love story that takes place in Burmese countryside. This book explores the susceptibility of our senses, the meaning of beauty and the strength of unconditional love. Great pick for romance readers.
Between A Rock And A Hot Place Why Fifty Is Not The New Thirty by Tracey Jackson. This is a quirky mix of memoir, comic relief and comparisons of the author to her mother and grandmother. She is out to prove that the saying βFifty is the new Thirtyβ is wrong and exactly why she believe that.
Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control β from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. I... read more
Review:The Measure by Nikki Erlick was a book I waited far too long to read. I just couldnβt stomach the idea that everyone in the world would find out their relative life span. The whole idea of this scared me but when my book club chose to read it, I dug in with enthusiasm.Iβm so glad I did. This book is more about life and how we live it, rather than about dying. Itβs told by a cast of eight characters who are deeply affected by the strings they received. The length of the string parallels the length of your life. All the characters are struggling with their results because even if he or she gets a long string, there will still be people they know will be gone soon.How the world at large handles the strings was so well done. People are switching boxes hoping it could change their destiny. Support groups are offered. Protests occur. The world is in a very different place. Much of this book made me think about the differences between fate and destiny. This story offers many intertwined connections between the characters that makes for a powerful and meaningful ending. Iβm so looking forward to whatβs next from this author. @nikkierlick @williammorrowbooks William Morrow π Would you open a box that told you how long your lifespan is?#themeasure #scifilight#bookreader #bookclubpick #goodbookfairy...
