I am starting her next release soon, and am hoping to strike gold again. She give good feels. The thing about Words wasn't just the way the mental health issue was addressed, which was really informative, but the way the author approached some of the relationships the MC had and she put some really beautiful people in his life. It's how I hope it could be for those suffering from that disease. It made my sappy heart explode.

Oh, when I don't like the TTT topic, I just make up my own. I don't do negative topics, but I love doing TTT lists. Do your own thing.

The other WLABBers are HUGE CC fans, and since I was always reading my daughter's books, I was actually on that train early. Same with ToG. My daughter remembers waiting on SJM's line at BEA, and she was almost all alone.

As an adoptive mom, I'm naturally drawn to adoption books, but FAR FROM THE TREE didn't *quite* do it for me as I didn't really connect with any of the characters.
