Ah the As still...

Latest book is BLUE WATER by A. Manette Ansay. She wrote Vinegar Hill which was an Oprah Winfrey choice to read. Blue Water is a story of redemption. A couple decide to live on a sail boat and travel around the world after losing their only child to a drunk driver. They are conflicted because the drunk driver was an acquaintance. They decide to sail to get away from it all. Their experiences while sailing down the east coast to the Caribbean bring them awareness of themselves and what to do about the rest of their lives. Excellent story, recommended reading...!!!!

Further along the As in the library...

Does one ever get out of the library? I'm still in the first aisle in the As, but I'm traveling to the Bs. The Bs are getting closer. The last book I read was THE HEADMASTER RITUAL by Taylor Antrim. Pleasant surprise. It's a story with two parallel lines about the headmaster's son and the new teacher. They are both stories of coming of age with all the usual angst that goes along with it. Had some fun with the reading and some unusual surprise near the end. Go read it!!
