Rilla Of Ingleside by L.M. Montgomery. I believe I have never written about one of my all time favorite books. To understand it, you kinda need to read at least Rainbow Valley. I didn't care for the book, but to read it then to understand what the Piper represents will cause a shiver to run up and down your back. I don't want to give away the plot except that in coincides with WWI and that I can so relate to the closing of the letter "Your, Kenneth" vs. "Yours, Kenneth" "Does he mean he's my Kenneth, or is just in the middle of a war and sloppily forgot the 's'?"
Unlikely Angels - an anthology. I don't remember much about it except that animals were involved in all the stories, which is cute And that love between the over 60 set, actually bores me a little.
511 Things Only Women Understand - Lorraine Bodger. Did you ever notice it's okay for women to put down men, but not vice versa? I wonder if we are supposed to be equal why that is supposed to be funny.
The Second Mark by Joy Goodwin - The best book about the 2002 Olympic pairs competition. Confession: I loved Sale & Pelltier the first time I watched them on tv, and was upset when they didn't win the Olympic Gold. Then I didn't like how the problem was fixed. This book was one of the most complete accounts from the Canadian, Russian, and Chinese sides. The true committment of these athletes shouldn't be tarnished by what was undoubtedly corrupt judges.
Altar Call by Hope Lyda - I think I reviewed Hip to Be Square. These two must be read together and in order, otherwise you won't be able to keep track of the friends or understand why she's involved with Beau. It reminds me some of "She's All That" but with less name brand clothes. I like it, but since it's been awhile since I read the first book I kept trying to remember what happened in it.
"Figure Skating Now" Pretty picture book
