Title: The Mircale Life of Edgar Mint
Author: Brady Udall
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Synopsis: A young boy, whjo lives on the Indain reservation is run over by a mail truck and his head is crushed. Against all odds he survives and ends up in a hospital for several years. While there he meets interesting people who will affect his life forever as he moves on to experience many other incredible things and people.
My rating: **** I LOVED this book! It was suggested by my friend, Sharon, and I absolutely could not put it down. The author, I believe, is LDS, so there is an element of the LDS church introduced partway through the book, but it's definitely NOT about the LDS church. It's heartbreaking, tender, hard to read, yet uplifting as well. I'd highly recommend this book.

Long time coming...

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted; as usual, my life has been crazy/ Thanks to those of you who have posted; I'm so interested in seeing what others are reading!

Title: The Ghost Flower
Author: Michele Jaffe
Genre: Mystery
Synopsis: Eve Brightman is working in a coffee shop when two young people approach her, telling her she looks just like their cousin, and offering her lots of money if she'll pretend to be that cousin. She agrees, and it takes off from there. Maybe I should have seen the ending coming, but  I didn't, so it was nothing like I'd imagined it would be.
My rating: ***

Title: Golden Nuggets of Pioneer Days: A History of Garfield County
Author: Daughters of the Utah Pioneers
Genre: History
Synopsis: The history of the settling of Garfield County including many pictures.
My rating: **** I loved reading this because I got it while I was in Panguitch, and, since my relatives helped settle this area, and my mom was born and raised in Panguitch, it was of special interest to me.
