Tue, 05 Jul 2011 22:11:39 -0400

NWADEL's review: "Jeff Alt sets out on an amazing 2,160 mile adventure on the Appalachian trail. His goal: to raise money for the home his brother lives in, a home for the disabled, called The Sunshine Home. He begins his quest at the beginning of course, Springer Mountain, Georgia and after going through 14 states, 147 days later he reaches his goal! Along the way he tells of his experience with the gear, the people he meets, the places that he stays. He also tells of his experience with critters and injuries. He ends up raising more than $16,000. for The Sunshine Home. Also in the back of the book, he talks about what it takes to start a charity, he talks about his life lessons from his walk, his gear list, ideas for children on a hike and so much more. He also created a dvd about his expedition. Its a wonderful, interesting story and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend!! Natalie(less)"

The 19th Wife: A Novel by David Ebershoff

Wed, 25 May 2011 19:22:09 -0400

NWADEL's review: "I love reading about different religions and this book is the historical accounts of Ann Eliza Young, known as the "19th wife" of Brigham Young, leader of the Mormon Church. It's also a parallel story of a murder in a sect called the "Firsts". A man is killed and all evidence points to his 19th wife, BeckyLyn. BeckyLyn is depending on her son Jordan to get her out of jail but it seems impossible. How they are able to find out she is innocent is surprising. The book is more about the Mormon Church's beginning, the story of Brigham Youngs plural marriages and Ann Eliza. Loved this book and definitely recommend."

Deed So by Kath Russell

Wed, 25 May 2011 19:01:51 -0400

NWADEL's review: "A hearty story, in some ways reminded me of To Kill A Mockingbird . Haddie witnesses a murder and now the town she is so bored in, is overwhelming her. Her friend Gideon who she would love to have as a boyfriend, goes back to war and comes back a mess. The murder trial sends people from Washington invading their small town of Wicomico, creating havoc and her family uncovers some shocking secrets. The story definitely has the captivating, engrossing page turning factor !! Highly recommend."

Fallen: A Novel by Karin Slaughter

Fri, 29 Apr 2011 14:54:08 -0400

NWADEL's review: "Riveting, suspenseful, mysterious, action packed. I love her books! Its the 3rd of the WIll Trent series but if you haven't read them in order, don't worry about it. The story starts out with a bang as Faith learns her mother is missing along with her baby daughter and the action starts, the story never slows down. If you like a good action packed mystery thriller, highly recommend Karin Slaughter books!"

Tuck Your Skirt in Your Panties and Run by Lucy Adams

Tue, 08 Feb 2011 14:29:25 -0500

NWADEL's review: "Each themed chapter holds tales of those unforgettable moments in life, from marriage, to family to chickens, hehe!! Some stories are just the little things and some are major catastrophes that make you chuckle. I don't know about you but I tend to read so many serious, sad, dark fiction that this book was a much needed respite. I have started this trend now that when something goes awry, I end it with saying " Tuck Your Skirt In Your Panties and Run"!!! ( my husband thinks I'm nuts) This is a definite must read."
