Another tear jerker from Hannah..the typical come together in times of tragedy novel but this was a good book break from reading about murders or crazy people. Wholesome story that makes you smile and cry.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Characters felt really believable and the thing I liked most was Meghann's character growth. Relationships aren't always easy and I loved how realistic this felt.

This was a bit slow and maybe could have been edited more but I really loved the last 150 pages. I cried so much while reading them, that tells that this book made me feel.

Some things were a bit too much of a coincidense to feel believable. Touching book and I liked this a lot.

I think I‘ve loved every Kristin Hannah book I‘ve ever read. They‘re deep with emotions though and make me cry. But when an author can make you feel things, that‘s probably a good sign.

Years ago, Meghann Dontess made a terrible choice that cost her everything, including the love of her sister, Claire. Now, Meghann is a highly successful attorney who doesn‘t believe in intimacy—until she meets the one man who can change her mind. Claire Cavenaugh has fallen in love for the first time in her life. As her wedding day approaches, she prepares to face her strong-willed older sister.

EadieB Reunited after more than two decades apart, these two women who believe they have nothing in common will try to become what they never were: a family. Tender, funny, bittersweet, and moving, Between Sisters skillfully explores the profound joys and sorrows shared by sisters, the mistakes made in the name of love, and the promise of redemption. 2y
EadieB This book is a 2003 rendition of a Kristin Hannah book. It‘s one that has more romance than the newer Kristin Hannah books such as The Great Alone or The Nightingale. It has a plot that kept me reading until the very end. The ending was very good and made the book worth reading. If you enjoy romance with your fiction then you will enjoy this book. 2y
Andrew65 Much prefer her newer books. 2y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2y
EadieB @Andrew65 I do too! 2y
Tove_Reads A bit syrupy and repetitive. An OK read, but not one of her best. Towards the end it had a better flow. It was better than the last two we read though. What‘s our November Hannah? 2y

Tove_Reads @EadieB which books of hers do you still have unread? @Andrew65 2y
EadieB @Tove_Reads How about “When lightening strikes?” (edited) 2y
EadieB “Hannah is superb at delving into her main characters‘ psyches and delineating nuances of feeling.”—The Washington Post Book World

Romance writer Alaina Costanza has given up on dreams and fairy tales. Then one stormy night, she is suddenly plunged back in time to the wild, Western world of her newest novel. Disoriented and disbelieving, she is kidnapped by her own character, a ruthless outlaw known only as Killian.
2y
EadieB But this “dream” is all too real. Once wisecracking and invincible, Alaina is now a mother desperate to return to the child she left behind—one hundred years in the future. Yet Alaina and Killian will discover a love too magnificent to last a single lifetime. But for the sake of Alaina‘s child, they must risk it all and fight for a future that depends on lightning striking . . . twice. 2y
EadieB @Tove_Reads When Lightening Strikes, If You Believe and The Enchantment 2y
Tove_Reads If you believe could be good. The enchantment sounds like it could go either way, When Lightning Strikes sounds bad. 2y
EadieB @Tove_Reads Ok I'll read If You Believe which I own. The Enchantment is in the archive library. (edited) 2y

Not my favourite Hannah, but definitely not the worst either. A story about two sisters, their families, and other relations. There are many dirty family secrets in the book. Some parts dragged on forever, so could have been a bit shorter. Then the surprise towards the end was quite rushed. 3+ stars

Andrew65 Not coming across well in latest reads. 2y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 I wasn‘t bad, but syrupy and a bit repetitive. We‘ve got it - she‘s a lawyer with no feelings, and she‘s incapable of loving anyone. 2y

Book 159 A super easy, read, which was just what I needed after finishing A Prayer for Owen Meany, but ultimatelyforgettable. A story of sisters reconnecting and supporting each other in midlife after their difficult childhood separated them. I don't understand how Hannah's writing can sometimes be so visceral (The Great Alone) and other times be so lackluster. Meh.

Claire and Meghann are sisters, about seven years apart in age, who, with time, drifted away from each other.

Now with Claire about to get married to an aspiring country singer, can Meghann, a practicing divorce attorney, find a way back to her to potentially help in the planning of her only sister‘s wedding?

Loved this one from Kristin Hannah, and definitely had some heartwarming and tearjerking moments!

I‘m starting a new series here. It‘s called #unreadandontheshelf

I‘ll be sharing about 5 books that are currently living on my shelves and I haven‘t picked them up yet. Maybe this will help me get to some of them.

Today we have 5 books by Kristin Hannah my mom got them from a friend and then gave them to me because she thought I would like them.

Have you read any of these? What did you think?

Andrew65 I have only read one Kristin Hannah and loved it, but not read any of these. I hope to read at least one more Kristin Hannah this month as #Tearjerker as I #ReadwithMrbook @MrBook He book I have read is 5y

Kristin Hannah came highly recommended from many of my friends and coworkers. I finally got around to reading one of her books that was loaned to me. I can see why so many people love her writing.

This book was a pretty heartwarming, easy read. It did have a twist at the end, but I liked that the twist brought some details together.

I'm really struggling with this one. I just cannot get into it and am trying to decide if I should press on. 🤔 I've enjoyed the handful of Kristin Hannah books I've read previously, but this one is falling flat. 😕

It is what it is. My daughter thinks I need to read some lighter stuff- hence YA and this one. It was a quick read and I didn‘t roll my eyes too much. But I‘m probably done with these for a bit!
Reminds me of how I feel about Picoult- all a bit the same in the end - so if you like it then it‘s great.

Cortg It‘s good to change your reading habit a little from time to time. Now back to your TBR! 6y

This was a good book. At first it was a bit confusing when she was introducing characters and points of you but it kept you interested enough to find out.

A good summer read a book club pick for me. The writing was not great but the story was intriguing, but I like stories about dysfunctional families because let's be honest none of us are perfect. There was a good dose of drama mixed with some sad times. I would suggest this book as a one time read, save your money borrow it from the library. I do plan on reading more of the Authors books though I here her later work is better.

Bostonmomx2 She's my favorite, she's got several awesome books. I hope you find you like her later works. 7y
litmuggle @Bostonmomx2 is there any of her books in particular I should try. I did enjoy this it's just not something I would re-read it. 7y
Bostonmomx2 The Winter Garden and The Nightingale are 2 of my faves, both are ww2 era although winter garden also is present day. Night road was good. But firefly lane is my favorite of hers. Totally wrecked me. If you like stories about female friendships, you'll love that one. 7y

Although the resolution of this book was unrealistic, I still enjoyed this story of two sisters attempting to rebuild their relationship.
