From Our Book Lover-In-Chief
From the minute I picked up this book, I could not put it down. It’s one of those books that you just tear through.
I can’t think of a better book to read this month than "The Giver of Stars" by Jojo Moyes. I’ve been a huge Jojo Moyes fan for years – her characters are so compelling and y’all know how much I love historical fiction! Set in Kentucky during the 1930’s, this book follows a group of women known as the Packhorse Librarians. It’s such a great narrative about personal strength and really captures how books bring communities together, especially for these women who are completely bonded by their love of literature.
