Book Club Pick: The Kitchen House, by Kathleen Grissom
I am usually excited about reading my book club’s selections but I was especially happy when I read the back cover of The Kitchen House. It is one of those books that I had heard about without hearing anything about, if you know what I mean. But from what I thought I heard I got [...]

Amy had tweeted about wanting to read Gone With The Wind, a book that I haven’t read since probably high school, and I was thinking that it might be interesting to also read The Wind Done Gone.
