I just finished reading The Great Alone, by Kristin Hannah. I am wary of fiction because most of it is so poorly written, but this book is a GEM! I got so hooked on it, I read most of it in one sitting! Your library should have it....

My library has

The Great Alone

by Janet Dailey

? Why the same title??? Anyway I found the right one on the E book library. Thanks for the recommendation.

I just finished "Gather" by Ken Cadow, which was a finalist for the National Book Award. It's being marketed as a book for young adults, but I think adults will like it, too. I thought it was very well written, thoughtful, and exciting.

I am reading The Great Alone now. About halfway through. Good book! I have liked all I have read by Kristin Hannah.

Kristen Hannah is one of my favorite authors. Her newest book is "The Women". It highlights the injustices that nurses serving in the military endured during the Vietnam War.

I read that last year. Hannah is a very prolific writer. I prefer suspense or mystery.

Flight of Cornelia Blackwood, An Ambush of Widows, The Next Time You See Me were recent reads. I mentioned to a friend that I was ready for something lighter, and she recommended "Lessons in Chemistry". I've invested enough time in it that I'm not giving up, but am not loving it.

Luckily, although the library here is tiny, we have a really good interlibrary loan system. Most current titles are available by request and come within a few days.

I'm reading Drood by Dan Simmons right now. A really good book.

Fun fact - you can't copyright a title.

I wonder why authors don't search for the title they want to use before using it? If already used it's not special anymore.

The term "The Great Alone" is a nickname for Alaska. So it's conceivable to see it used a lot.
