An excellent novel during the World War II period - a must read!

The NightingaleThe Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is now my favorite book of 2015. I don't understand the negative reviews, as I really loved it. I listened to it on Audible and couldn't wait for my commute every day to listen to it. 3 days later, I'm still thinking about it. I highly recommend it.

A fun legal thriller, written by a local Virginia judge!

The Jezebel RemedyThe Jezebel Remedy by Martin Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book! We are reading it for my at-work book club. It was written by a Virginia judge (Martin Clark) and takes place in Henry County, VA. It mentions many places I know and real people I've heard of or know. It is a legal thriller, and even includes a Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board hearing - which is very pertinent because I work for the Virginia State Bar in the Disciplinary Section and clerk those hearings!

You can read the synopsis of the book yourself, but I found it a lot of fun because it was written by a Virginian, a signed copy was given to our department to read, and I liked the story. It was a thriller and had many twists and turns and covered different themes (law, crime, adultery, lies, animals, inventions, subterfuge, etc.) The discussion should be very interesting!

I recommend this book. Oh, I listened to it on Audible and the narration was wonderful (I also read parts of the book that I wanted to reread).
