Audra’s favorite hobby is reading. Her Kindle is her BFF. She loves to wander aimlessly through bookstores palming books and pondering titles. She writes reviews of everything she reads and chooses books from many different genres. Hopefully you can find your next favorite book among these reviews.

I think by now everyone knows I love to read. Seems like my reading is more sporadic the last few years but I’ve been reading a lot more consistently in 2024 and wanted to share thoughts on the last three books I’ve read…including one that made me mad and I can’t stop thinking about it.… Read More »
It’s been over 10 years since I read Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese. I remember thinking I may never (ever) read a book that good ever again. I’ve been waiting more than 13 years for him to write another book! After reading an article about his new book, The Covenant of Water, I could not download it to my Kindle fast enough. … Read More »

Recently I received a note from a fellow Dunwoodian who has kids around my boys’ ages and used to walk right by my house on a daily basis on her way to Vanderlyn with her kids. Gosh I miss those days!
I always love connecting with people and was thrilled that our mutual acquaintance, Christine Cooper, suggested Betsy reach out to me. … Read More »
