Who Do You Love?

Who Do YouLove is the most recent novel by @JenniferWeiner . She has more recently published her memoir and a children’s book.  Have you ever had friends that just stick with you through thick and thin?  Rachel and Andy’s story is just that.  A great read for over the holidays! Synopsis: Rachel was born with a congenital heart problem which keeps her in and out of the hospital.  One night in the hospital she makes her way to the emergency room and meets Andy.  He is there for a broken arm that occurred while on vacation.   They enjoy one another’s  company.   They both grow up in different places but are reunited on a mission’s trip to Atlanta.  Once there a passion grows but will it be enough to unit their differences?  Rachel becomes a social worker and Andy becomes a famous track star.  Will fate end up bringing them together again? My Thoughts: I liked the story.  It was not a favorite like some of the other Jennifer Weiner novels.  I thought she did well to write

Are you looking for a little "peace of earth" this Christmas? Books are a great way to fit the right gift to the right recipient!   Even if a person on your "nice list" isn't a big reader, you can find a huge selection of beautiful coffee table books featuring photography to suit their taste: hunting, sports, art, wine, cooking, even vacation locales.   For those who enjoy the smell of fresh pages or the gentle glow of an eReader's screen, the possibilities are expanding by 2,700 books per day by some estimates. (Over 1 million books are published each year; do the math!) If you've got any novel lovers in your gift-giving circle, The Senator's Youngest Daughter is a great item to wrap up. This political thriller challenges expectations for its genre with a female protagonist, a family-centric message, and conservative political ideals. By purchasing a copy (either eBook or paperback) you are supporting the self-publishing industry and helping

Happy New Year!  My apologies for being a little behind this month!  I thought that I would share the top novels at Writer’s Corner in 2016.

The will is read and Janice gets the house and everything in it. Julie gets a key with a plane ticket to go to Italy. Her mission is to find out what her mother wanted her to know about the past and a possible treasure. Julie Jacobs becomes Giulietta Tolemeis which is her given name. Part of her search is to search for Romeo and all the people that are connected to the story. Julie picks up a box that includes a story about the real Romeo and Juliet. What was there story? How can the current Romeo and Juliet break the curse placed on the houses of Tolemeis and Salimbeni? Will there be a happy ending?
