I just finished listening to the book on Audible and once again was amazed at how Ron Rash made each character an important part of the book and how he made the reader see, hear and know them. Excellent book that would make a great movie, I think.Glenda Beallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953170428175025248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1427303902639298441.post-27018110423174346432021-08-05T14:01:04.939-04:002021-08-05T14:01:04.939-04:00Hi Nancy -- Nancy B from Morganton (now GA)'s ...Hi Nancy -- Nancy B from Morganton (now GA)'s daughter Sharon here. She's visiting me and mentioned your blog. So glad you found the Dorothy Soames book! My sister used to live next door to the author, so it was on my list before it was published. Now that I've read it, I'm not sure "enjoyed" is the right word, as there was so much that was unsettling, but I found it very compelling. What a journey to put the pieces together! momjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938823077875282643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1427303902639298441.post-90527218613871545152020-10-09T02:55:07.185-04:002020-10-09T02:55:07.185-04:00I listened to this book instead of reading it.

You amaze me. I tried to count, but I'm not sure that I saw everything. I think we read five or six of the same books. I'm going to try to read Louise Penney this year. Some of the ones on your list are ones that are in my "Want to Read" section of Goodreads. Yours is a MOST IMPRESSIVE list!!

By the way, I was the first female (and only) booking agent on Music Row and at the WWVA Jamboree in Wheeling, a West Virginia from 1960- September 1966. My agency was broadcast nightly on the Lee Moore Show as the place to go to for the Jamboree talent.

Anne Bogel has great lists of books. I also highly recommend listening to her podcast, What Should I Read Next? Various guests tell her 3 books they love, 1 book they hate and what they are reading currently and she gives them 3 book suggestions. It's great in that there is such a wide variety of guests and book recommendations. <br /><br />I also occasionally listen to the From the Front Porch podcast which is from the Bookshelf in Thomasville, Georgia. Not all books all the time, but usually entertaining. cbwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280917970390937567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1427303902639298441.post-52856163519832696912017-11-22T05:37:06.297-05:002017-11-22T05:37:06.297-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.michaelbelowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273681228990713563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1427303902639298441.post-74853112384156261322017-11-22T05:30:04.099-05:002017-11-22T05:30:04.099-05:00I do starve to participate in book festivals.
