There's an interesting article in USA Today dated April 9, 2007 listing 25 of the most memorable books in the last 25 years. Link here. Our past book club selection, The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, made the list. Read an Excerpt.
Also, in the top 25 are Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier, Chicken Soup for the Soul by Mark Hansen and Jack Canfield, and Waiting to Exhale by Terry McMillan.
This blog is for book lovers. Initially this blog focused on the books selected by members of the Okefenokee Book Club who used to meet in Waycross, Georgia. Now, it is about my reading interests. I will also continue to post any interesting information related to writers, libraries, and book clubs in general.

New Books
In Woman's World, April 10 issue, two new books are highlighted in the What to watch, read and do this week! section. One book is I Heard That Song Before by prolific writer, Mary Higgins Clark. The other new book on the market put out by Holly Kennedy is called The Penny Tree. The Penny Tree is Kennedy's second novel.
Just a little note to say we had a wonderful time with Gwen Roland yesterday. She held our interest talking about her life and showing us photos of her life on a houseboat in the Louisiana swamp. Photos of her life then are featured in National Geographic, in the September 1979 and January 2004 issues.
