 Time and Again by Jack FinneyFrom Elizabeth M: Often at this time of the year, we like to call your attention to some of our old favorite books. One of my all time favorite books is Time and Again by Jack Finney. First published in 1970, this is considered one of the classic stories of time travel and fantasy. Advertising artist Si Morley is recruited by a government agency to be a part of a study looking at time travel. Through his eyes the reader is introduced to New York City in 1882. Old photographs and drawings add to the authenticity of the book and the reader is easily drawn into the mystery and romance of the story. Whether you are reading it for the first or the twentieth time, it is a tale to savor and enjoy!

The French House; An American Family, a Ruined Maison, and the Village that Restored Them All by Don Wallace
When Francophiles Don and Mindy Wallace received an offer for a house on a tiny French island, they jumped at the chance, buying it almost sight unseen. What they found when they arrived was a building in ruin, and it wasn't long before their lives resembled it. Plagued by emergency repairs, a stock market crash, and very exasperated French neighbors, the Wallaces could have accepted their fate. Instead, they embraced it. The French House is a delightfully amusing and picturesque memoir about a family who seized life, rose from the rubble, and built themselves a home away from home.
