March reads
Pull of the Moon by Elizabeth Berg 3*....not her best....not sure it even deserves 3*
Icebergs by Elizabeth Johns 3.5* went over 3 different time periods, WWII, Vietnam War, and the 90's. I liked the first part of the story the best, the second almost as good, by the 90's I thought the story got boring.

Like Dandelion Dust by Karen Kingsbury DNF,just too preachy, couldn't get into it.
Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult 4* interesting read, but not sure I bought the ending
