My Current Interest

                I was looking for something else when I came across The Wedding Tree on my library’s website.   It was either below the item I wanted or in the recommended section.   Either way, the title caught my attention.   Then I read the synopsis and decided to give the book a try.   Once I started reading, I became hooked.   There were far too many nights I stayed up late reading because I wanted to know what was going to happen next.   A lot of times I was correct in my predictions, but there were other times where I was not quite sure.   In both instances, I found myself enjoying what was happening and wanted to keep reading.                     Adelaide has dark secrets.   They are secrets from very early in her life that very few, if anyone, know about.   When she falls and hits her head, Adelaide’s deceased mother comes to her and tells Adelaide she must tell her granddaughter, Hope, the truth.   As Adelaide is in her nineties and about to be moved into assisted li

                 War & Peace is one of those books I have always heard people joke about reading.   A huge piece of literature (both in fame and page amount), it is something that, comparatively speaking, very few have read or even attempted to read.   I certainly haven’t, although I did consider it after watching the recent miniseries that aired on TV.   Actually, I watched the miniseries twice.   The first time was when it was on television.   The second was on DVD.   I did this because so much happens that I felt with the commercial interruptions I kept missing something.   The continuity was always gone.   While I did enjoy War & Peace while it was on TV, I must say it was so much better on DVD .   Without the commercials, I could follow the story much more easily.   With a story as big as War & Peace , that is a good thing to be able to do.                         The story of War & Peace starts at a ball.   Everyone is there mingling and talking about th
