To continue with my summer book reviews, here’s my next pick…
Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah (click here for synopsis)
Kristin Hannah, the New York Times bestselling author of nineteen novels, is another one of my favorite storytellers. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting her at a few book signings. The first of her books that I read, Firefly Lane, happens to be her most popular novel. She herself calls it the book the changed her career. I’ll admit, I’m the kind of person that sometimes does judge a book by its cover (shame on me), and I first picked up this book because I loved the name and was intrigued by what kind of story this would be. It is a wonderful tale of friendship and life as seen through the eyes of two women who’ve been lifelong friends. Truly, one of my all time favorite books to date, and the only one of her novels that has produced a sequel…Fly Away. I have not read Fly Away yet, as I’m planning to read it on a very long flight this summer. But I’m sure it will be as amazing as its prequel. So, pickup a copy of Firefly Lane or download it to your e-reader, and enjoy a great summer read!
Are there any good books you’ve read recently? I love suggestions!

That sounds like a really good book. I haven’t had as much time to read this summer as I thought I would, so I am hoping to catch up once the kids go back to school.

I have not had the time recently to read, I do plan to head to the library with the kids tomorrow though. I hope they behave long enough for me to find something.

That sounds like a great book. We are in the process of moving into a new home, and I wish I could just sit and read. I will get this now on Amazon for when we are all settled! Thanks for sharing.

I love anything by Nicholas Sparks (his last book was released last fall, so you may have already read it?) Otherwise, anything by Jane Green. Even her most recent book was good, while it wasn’t my favorite. I still recommend her. 🙂

I love that book cover. I can only recommend Nicholas Sparks…or some old classic, like Jane Eyre or Little Women. I guess I only read books that make one cry 🙂
