Bloggy book club choice for August was recommended by two different bloggers....Elizabeth and Jeanne... both women are great bloggers...Jeanne is also a great writer!
The really great news is the author for this month is a fellow blogger, but more than that...the book is a beautifully written.
I am not a writer but ...I am a reader...I love to have a book transport me to another life, another place and to be immersed in all of it's telling. I was reading two other books...which I have now put aside, the day my package arrived (I am not saying what I was reading!)
My package came on Thursday from Amazon and in it was my copy of Tender Graces by Kathryn Magendie...
I opened it at once and read the first paragraph...
I rarely care about what others say on the outside flap...
It is the first paragraph of a book that captures me and this one surely did...
All my tired flies out the window when I see Grandma Faith standing in the mountain mists that drift in and out of the trees. She's as she was before, like one lick of fire hasn't touched her, whole and alive and wanting as she beckons to me. Grandma whispers her wants as she's done all my life.
...and like that...I could not put it down.
Join me in reading for the month of August Tender Graces by Kathryn Magendie and stop by her blog and say "Hi"!

Don't you just love it when a book can grab you like that in just one paragraph?
Justine :o )
I love to read, but hate to finish. I walk around a bit depressed, like I've lost a dear friend, figuring I'll never find another book THAT good.
OH how I love to read! I will have to remember this book...
Thank you, Ronda - this made me smile -- appreciate you.
I'm so glad you chose this one -- and hope you love it as much as I did!
Kat is one of my favorite people and this book is a gem! I'm so glad you chose it.
