MemoirsForMe 😂😂😂 7y

rustoryhuf @LauraBeth Thanks for the heads up! 7y

LauraBeth @Sassy_Steph I was intrigued by the jacket copy! It looks really great 😀 7y

LauraBeth @christineandbooks have you read anything else by her? 7y

LauraBeth @AceOnRoam, @minkyb, @JanuarieTimewalker13 bonus - the book sounds really great! I'm sad that Litsy doesn't have a description for it yet ☹️ 7y

christineandbooks Not all, but many. I really love her writing...if you like this and you're interested in others feel free to ask me for suggestions. ☺ 7y

christineandbooks @Sassy_Steph I'm right at the same spot! And bummed because I don't have much time to read today! 7y

JanuarieTimewalker13 She's a super nice person-Adriana...I've seen her a couple of times. I've read her Big Stone Gap Series and Lucia, Lucia, Rococco, Queen of The Big Time, but none of recent novels. Maybe one day. 7y

LauraBeth @christineandbooks I do like her writing - what would you recommend I start with? 7y

LauraBeth @JanuarieTimewalker13 I love it when I hear that an author is super nice! 7y

christineandbooks Ok, do you want contemporary or historical? City or small town? 7y

LauraBeth @christineandbooks I actually like all of those! 7y

christineandbooks @LauraBeth Sorry to take so long getting back to you...busy afternoon... Ok, so here are a few thoughts... For contemporary, small-town, try (first in series)

Big Stone Gap: Big Cherry Holler ; Milk Glass Moon

christineandbooks For contemporary, city (also first of a series) try

Very Valentine

christineandbooks For an historical novel set in the golden age of Hollywood try

All the Stars in the Heavens

christineandbooks Another historical novel, this one set in 1950 NYC ...

Lucia, Lucia

LauraBeth Thanks so much @christineandbooks! I'm not sure why these have all missed my radar but they have. I think I'll start with Big Stone Gap 7y

PacingTheCage Finally got this from the library and starting tonight! 7y

LauraBeth @dltpacngthecage 👏👏 nice! 😀 7y
