It's Mother's Day on May 9th here in the US and we thought it would be the perfect time for Mother / Daughter reads! Amie's mom, Kris, recommended News of the World by Paulette Jiles and Amie recommended Counting by 7s, by Holly Goldberg Sloan to Kris. Tami read Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver - a book Taryn loves and reads every spring. Tami recommended The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett for Taryn - one of her favorite books!
