  1. I have lots of friends who love Jan Karon's books but I have yet to read any of hers yet. I didn't get as much read in August but hope to read more next month! I just finished Light Between the Oceans and am almost finished with The Tiger's Wife.

  5. I am a massive Jan Karon fan. Just got the Galley for the latest. She is one I get used copies of for my bookshelf. And I just DVRed the Hallmark movie, but haven't watched it yet

  6. I've read a couple of the Karon series - nice, quiet books but I never got back to them. I'll have to watch the Hallmark film.

  12. What a great reading month! A lot of these are authors I haven't read that are on my list. I do have a Jan Karon coming up and really need to read Cathy Lamb. I've heard raves about her books!

    1. Cathy Lamb books are alright, but I see their message as a bit too "good vs evil" Christianity for me

  13. I enjoyed the first Mitford books but I just finished the latest, which will probably be my last.

    1. I LITERALLY had At Home in Mitford fall at my feet off the shelf at Joseph Beth Bookseller 20 years ago in OH, and Karon is one of my "buy a used one for the bookshelf" author. I love Father Tim's world. I taped the Hallmark film but haven't watched it yet, and just got the Galley of the new one

  14. I had a fairly good reading month although I didn't finish my "summer Russian Classic " in time for it to be counted in the summer Big Book group- got about half of Doctor Zhivago read and really will finish it. I read 15 books:2 paper, 13 eBooks and 2 for Mt. TBR.

    I also reset my 2017 GoodReads goal, moving it *down* to 200.
