The weather is getting warmer and there is no better way to spend a summer afternoon than with a good book, in a shady spot, with something ice cold to drink. I had forgotten how fun it is to go to the public library and browse through the shelves of books. Sandra Dallas' book Buster Midnight's Cafe was recommended to me but as luck would have it, three other books were there but no Buster Midnight's Cafe ! I decided to check out the books on the chance that they would be an "ok" read. The first book I read, The Diary of Mattie Spencer is just that, the diary of a pioneer woman that travels with her husband to Colorado to homestead - a great summer read! Now, on to the second book Alice's Tulips . As I picked this book up and thumbed through it I realized the entire book was written as letters to the main character's sister. I was a bit put off, a diary, letters, had Dallas come up with a formula for her books? Were they to similar to be interesting? Ju
