      I’m so sorry to hear about your friend. My heart goes out to you. You may really like the “Long Way Home” book at this time, then. It was about cancer, yes, but it was also about healing.

      Thank you for the sweet comments about Logan. 🙂

    I went to the library on Saturday and checked out 3 of the recommendations. After reading the book
    “Take Me With You” I was game to try another by the same author so I am reading Leaving Blythe River by Catherine Ryan Hyde getting close to the middle of the book so far I like the other book better but I am hanging in there. Looking forward to reading the other books as well. Thanks for the recommendations. My branch didn’t have “The Lost Girls” since you compared it to Eat, Love, Pray which I didn’t care for I decided not to try to read it.

      Blythe River wasn’t as good as Take Me With You but it was still really enjoyable. I just started another one of hers and like it so far. Her books are just easy to read and fast reads.

    Getting out my “to read” list again – thanks, Lisa! Glad you’re squeezing in some reading time amongst the obligations of baby, husband, pets, house, and that time-sucking thing called Work…

    I have a couple to recommend – hopefully I’m not sending back ones that I got from you!

    The Fireman by Joe Hill. I really enjoyed this one! It’s a thick book, but reads very quickly.

    I am also on the 3rd of the Robert Galbraith books and have really enjoyed all 3 – The Cuckoo’s Calling, The Silkworm and Career of Evil.

    I didn’t read, but listened to, All Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion by Fannie Flagg. I love listening to her read her books. Her voice is just like honey butter to me. This one was interesting because the back story centers on female pilots during WWII – I like books where I can learn something and still be entertained 🙂

    I hope this helps pay back a little for all the great ideas you’ve sent my way!

      Awesome! Thank you so much for the recommendations. I added a few to my goodreads list. My book club read Fried Green Tomatoes last summer and I think that was by Fannie Flagg. That one you suggested sounds really good.
