Taliesin by Stephen Lawhead
This was a very interesting book that appears to be setting the stage for a historical fiction version of King Arthur. Taliesin is depicted as Merlin’s father, who goes through trials within his personal kingdom. He married a woman named Charis who also went through trials as her people were the last of the island of Atlantis. It’s a great story that leaves you excited for the next book, entitled “Merlin.”

Fantastic panorama of history in the style of John Jakes. Even though this was a novel, I learned more about early colonial history than I ever did in a history class. Really captures the mood of the times! --Michael

Sundays at Tiffany’s by James Patterson
Sundays at Tiffany’s was awesome! I couldn’t put it down and read it in about four hours. The book was a sweet childhood reflection that tied together nicely in Jane’s adulthood. Best of all this book wasn’t as sad as “Suzanne’s diary to Nicholas.” --Kristi
