Lumby on the Air by Gail Fraser, #5 in the Lumby series

Two important events are being planned in Lumby. Pam and Mark Walker are planning a family reunion to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. Montis Inn will be closed to customers during that week so there will be room for family and time to spend with each other. The Chatham County Fair is upcoming, too, and lots of folks are eagerly anticipating the fun and challenges. Like Mark Walker. He has signed up for several events, like sheep shearing, even though he is woefully unprepared and/or inexperienced in them. But that is Mark. A member of his family that will be at Montis for the reunion is a radio personality who ridicules Lumby to his listeners. He puts Lumby on the Air whether they want it or not. But then, the characters of Lumby have a way of growing on people when they are unaware that it is happening. Mark's relative may need to change his radio delivery and way of treating others. Maybe Lumby really does know how to live.

Sisterchicks in Gondolas by Robin Jones Gunn


Sisterchicks in Gondolas by Robin Jones Gunn

Jenna and Sue are sisters in law that really like each other. They travel to Venice to cook for a group of men who are there on retreat. When not planning the meals and shopping for the ingredients they are tasting many of the gelato flavors and exploring Venice. Everything they do is an adventure for them, including the cooking and serving. They unexpectedly have aha moments while in this very lovely and romantic of settings. It is a good read and a refreshing story about relationships and being available for aha moments.

Reserve Sisterchicks in the catalog in book-on-tape or book-on-CD formats!
