Currently Reading...

I was thumbing through the books on sale at Waldenbooks about a month ago and came upon this book. I read the back and thought it looked interesting, so I bought it.

Ever since then, I've heard so much about it!

Kim Edwards, the author, is a professor at UK and the story's setting starts in Lexington in the 1960s. It's pretty cool because I recognize some of the places they talk about (US 60, Kroger in Versailles, Newtown Pike, Leestown Road, Lexington Cemetery, etc.). This book was on NY Times' best sellers list.

I went into the book not knowing anything about it really and have been pleasantly surprised so far. Has anyone else read/heard of this book? What were your thoughts?

I'm totally reading this book. I found it during one of my visits at Joseph Beths. I'm probably about a quarter of the way thru. Random.

That is random! I'm at May 1965. We totally need to have discussions about our random book.
