Urbani is on an ambitious book tour for the next three months. Check the schedule to see if she will be in your area soon.
Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by Jenn at A Daily Rhythm, where you can find the official rules for this weekly event.
Having lived through Hurricane Andrew in Miami, I'm drawn to books that feature hurricanes. I'll look for this one.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features SAMUEL & SOPHIA.
This one could be good - and very timely as you say.

I haven't read much in the way of Hurricane Katrina. This sounds like it will be a good one. I hope you like it.
ReplyDeleteI just reviewed Below The Water Line, a true families account of Katrina and just spotted another book about Katrina today. This makes three. Will be checking this out!
