A...EVERYONE I know has been recommending this book. After a phone conversation with my mom over its wonderful qualities, it got bumped to the top of my to-read list. I'm half-way through right now and loving every bit of it. I can't wait to see how it ends.<br /><br />If you need other recommendations, I've recently rediscovered Alexander McCall Smith. I read his "Portuguese Irregular Verbs" series a few years ago (FABULOUS!), and am now hooked on the "Number 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" and "44 Scotland Street" series. Both are great, easy reads, though I will say that the latter took a little longer for me to get into (in the end, though, I was nearly rolling on the floor laughing. Smith's humor is so delightfully subtle, I love it!)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13827607152706015982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38911343.post-84914826062329910002009-06-18T09:08:47.100-04:002009-06-18T09:08:47.100-04:00Sharlie - affirmation!

I LOVED "Peace Like a River" but haven't read anything else by Enger. I'll look for it.Disco Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102319958554597698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38911343.post-35218160631284251762009-06-18T09:08:02.286-04:002009-06-18T09:08:02.286-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Disco Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102319958554597698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38911343.post-8711793616587104882009-06-18T02:02:25.863-04:002009-06-18T02:02:25.863-04:00Hi Kari, I love your blog and check it often. I am...Hi Kari, I love your blog and check it often. I am thrilled you are doing so well! Your family is adorable! I LOVED this book as well, my mom read it and went right out and bought a copy for all her girls. I'd been in a reading slump and this book definitely ignited my passion! If you are looking for another good read, I would recommend Leif Enger's new book. I am in the middle of it now but it is another captivating and touching read. There is a link to an excerpt on my last blog post. Say hi to Ed for us! Love, SharlieSharlie Kaltenbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541946394486678970noreply@blogger.com
