I've no clues as to what it is about, Chatty. Can you elaborate? Fiction, non-fiction? Do you like it?

Thanks.

All I know about Mazurka is that it's a Polish Folk Dance.

I've just finished reading the third book in the Elm Creek Quilters Series by Jennifer Chiaverini -- and thoroughly enjoyed it! Maybe that's partly because I'm a quilter, but I think it's also because I enjoyed the women's stories. The three books are: The Quilter's Apprentice; Round Robin; and The Cross-Country Quilters. Here's a link to Chiaverini's website which includes synopses of these books as well as others: Elm Creek Quilters Series
I recommend them as enjoyable, heart-warming reads.

I read and loved the knitting books starting with the Friday Night Knitting Club. I think there are currently 3 books, but my memory is a little fuzzy on that one!!

Mountain Ash: Yes! Maeve Binchy is one of my favorite authors, and I have almost all her books. I love the interconnections between characters from one book to the next. Seeing a character you've met before is like unexpectedly meeting an old friend!
Yonuh: Thanks for the Friday Night Knitting Club recommendation. I'll look into those for my Kindle. (I'm a crocheter, not a knitter, but maybe some day ....)

The first book of Maeve's that I read was Light a Penny Candle..Many years ago.
The impact was that I read some of the book with tears running down my cheeks.There after all her books have been on my book list.
I feel I know the people and yes the interconnection is wonderful.She writes shorts stories as well as her novels.
She weaves her stories with absolute magic..

I have Irish in my ancestry and maybe her books resonate all the more due to this.
She describes a very happy upbringing and this rings through her writing..I would love to meet her.

Sandy N, thank you for sharing your review of Jennifer Chiaverini's Elm Creek Quilters Series. I'm not a quilter - but I collect quilts, and from what I read on the website you linked us to, I expect I would enjoy this series.

By the way, I just minutes ago finished reading your novel, "I. O. U. Sex," and I thoroughly enjoyed the way you and co-author Sandy Allen wove together the three women's stories into one satisfying novel.

Your three characters seemed like real people to me, and though your book is almost 400 pages, I read it cover to cover in under 24 hours.

Just as Chiaverini's Elm Creek Quilter series follows members of the Elm Creek Quilters through a variety of experiences, I certainly hope that we will be reading more about the adventures of YOUR protagonists, June, Kiki and Peggy.

And to everyone on the forum reading this post, I urge you to check out Sandy's hilarious book about three lifelong friends who've stuck together over the many decades since high school, and make a pact over drinks one night to look up their old high school boyfriends -- and "make amends" for the sexual frustration their virginal behavior caused.

The book's available on Amazon, in both paperback and Kindle formats -- and at Barnes and Noble in both Nook and paperback. "You go girl!"
