Since we talk about books all day long, we have decided to do a blog of our own. We will be updating it at least weekly. It will be a much more casual conversation then the newsletter and you can check it out any time and join in with comments or book suggestions for us to read. http://mostlybooksaz.wordpress.com/There are lots of different book blogs including many by your favorite authors.

Twenties Girls
by Sophie Kinsella
|
 Review by Jody
Twenties Girl is a
fun fast-pace read with a contemporary edge.
Lara Lington is your typical 27-year-old woman who is trying to balance
her career and her personal life. Things
are hard enough, but then Lara's great-aunt decides to come back from the dead
to haunt her. The novel is filled with
funny problems that arise from being haunted by a ghost that no one else can
see. Kinsella's characters are charming,
witty, and endearing, allowing for a story that the reader can't put down. Twenties Girl also has an enjoyable mix
of the 1920's culture with that of today, inventing a world full of flappers
and cappuccinos. A delightful read for
anyone who is looking for a quirky ghost story.
