I am a lover of books; I can't get enough of them. Come check out my recommendations for readers of all ages! I hope you find some new reading treasures for you and your family here. Three star books are good, four star books are great, five star books are outstanding. In general, if I didn't like it, I don't even blog about it. Recommendations are based on my personal opinions, and cautions are listed for the sake of sensitive and/or younger readers.

WEDNESDAY: The Amethyst Heart
Miss Amethyst is 93 years old and her son is trying to sell her house - and family heritage - out from under her. She is sharp and independent and not about to let him get away with anything - even if she has to pull out her double-barreled 12-gauge shot gun! Maybe her great-granddaughter and namesake, "Little Am," will care about the family legacy if Amethyst can engage her in the story of their ancestors.
This is a story that goes from the present, and the fight over the house, to the past as Miss Amethyst relays the story of the Noble family - how the house was built and the stories of those who lived there. The past is engaging on its own, but also informs the present situation. Sit down with The Amethyst Heart and enjoy a few hours with the two spunky Amethysts!
