When I love a book, I hate having the experience end. A book discussion keeps that pleasure alive a little longer, and it's wonderful to hear someone else's take on the same work of art.Trish Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983379845476025642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-46354912046253312272018-09-11T09:33:40.964-04:002018-09-11T09:33:40.964-04:00Most often when I recommend a book to a friend it&...Most often when I recommend a book to a friend it's because I fell in love with it first, and hope they will too. I love fairy tale retellings so much, and have recommended probably all of Melanie's books to a couple of my friends. They love them too! So excited to read something a little different from her and see where these beautiful characters take me. <br />lmccaugh@gmaildotcomAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198317045630260314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-26936247675157939142018-09-11T02:46:25.364-04:002018-09-11T02:46:25.364-04:00this is a wonderful interview. usually a book that...this is a wonderful interview. usually a book that moves me and teaches something is one that I will recommend.

I absolutely love a book that you can connect with the character's and live their life along side them. I have not foi d a book yet by Melanie Dickerson that has not done this for me. I absolutely love her books and highly recommend them to all my friends!

If I couldn't put the book down, or if I experienced a wide range of emotions (particularly laughing out loud or actual tears), or if I learned something fantastic (like a book I recently read on the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire or Miss Melanie's Beauty and the Beast story with the town trial)--all these are reasons I have recommended books to others.<br /><br />jcoandwsf[at]yahoo[dot]com Jessica Fortenberrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-55789889339555575482018-09-10T22:32:48.527-04:002018-09-10T22:32:48.527-04:00There are several factors.

I certainly have my favorite authors that I love to recommend but that is because they usually do all the factors listed above. 😄 I do take into account the person’s life happenings or situation and recommend a book that fits their season of life.<br />bmrawlins@liberty.eduMommaBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00545091268216500862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-57363957350651032922018-09-10T22:25:30.548-04:002018-09-10T22:25:30.548-04:00I recommend books that suck me in.

It might be the characters or the storyline. Sometimes it's just an aspect of history I find interesting and want to share. Sometimes it's a new to me author I've discovered and want others to know about. All of these came into play when I recommended our book club read and discuss Melanie's book The Merchant's Daughter several years ago.<br /><br />pmkellogg56[at]gmail[dot]comPam K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-19756903689412931892018-09-10T18:25:50.305-04:002018-09-10T18:25:50.305-04:00Author. psalm103and138atgmaildotcomAuthor. psalm103and138atgmaildotcomCaryl Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03446868830897710358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-14092930327152096582018-09-10T13:21:22.423-04:002018-09-10T13:21:22.423-04:00Storyline. cheetahthecat1986ATgmailDOTcomStoryline. cheetahthecat1986ATgmailDOTcomkim hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951846304316134717noreply@blogger.com
