Week 4 good reads

After River by Donna Milner


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is set in the mid 60s when men left the USA to dodge the Vietnam war. River ends up over the Canadian border working for a family dairy farm and the impact he has on 3 of the family members (mother, brother and sister) stretches for the next 36 year. Very good read and could picture the farm surrounded by mountains

I like Good reads as soon as you post the book you have read you can see similiar books in the right hand side. One of the authors listed is Chris Bohjalian and I have read his books in the past and would agree he is a similiar author in the Donna Milne genre. This is the online version of the "Good reads" in our reference collections on what to read next.
I think this is a great site to link up friends or even library customers who may read similiar books to you or wanting a good read. To be honest I am terrible at remembering authors and titles and admire my colleagues who can remember the details and then give a verbal review.
I would like this particular exercise to continue and hope that my library colleagues would add recommendations, online version of brwosing the returned today trolley.
Customers would like this perhaps it could be a link on the library website (reading and reviews) so that they could check it out. Staff running the book clubs could also discuss it with the audience and perhaps they could set up a laptop at the meeting so that they could guide customers through the site.
I need some friends on this website so will encourage my colleagues to share their aliases.
