I finished a really good book last night, my second by Southern author Dorothea Benton Frank. I had previously read “Shem Creek” by Frank and really enjoyed it. I really liked this one too, and I don’t know if I could pick which one I liked more. Both good stories, well told, and very Southern in the storytelling. This book flipped back and forth between the present day (1999,2000) and the early 60’s to tell the story of Susan Hamilton Hayes and her family. It was a very engrossing read, and I’m sort of sad that the book is finished.
For the record, that makes #56 for the year, with a total of 19,841 pages read. Also, this is the first book that I have completed for the Fall Reading Challenge. (I have linked to the Challenge on my sidebar, and will try to remember to keep that original post updated as to my reading accomplishments.)
I went to the library yesterday, to pick up two books that are on my challenge list. I couldn’t find one of them (“Tears of the Giraffe”), so they ordered me a copy from another branch. I got one from my list “204 Rosewood Lane” and also picked up a recent book by Anita Diamant from the New Release shelf. Sigh. Off track already! Oh well, I love to read, and I can easily substitute one book for another. I don’t know which one I will start first, I will have to see what I’m in the mood for!
