By Amy Reznicek

I am currently reading the book - Theo of Golden by Allen Levi

This is a wonderful thought provoking novel. I was listening to the audiobook on the library's electronic resource, Libby. I waited several months before it was available. David Morse is the narrator of the audiobook and I am so thankful he uses his wonderful voice to share this story.

Even though I waited several months for this book to become available, I was not focused on listening to it everyday and so, the book was returned before I was able to finish.

The library has two copies of this very special book. This is the type of book that I will think about for years to come. What book have you read that has you still thinking about the characters, the story and the what ifs?

Theo of Golden has 510,000 ratings on Goodreads.

I have moved up on the waiting list on Libby for the audiobook. I started at #730 I am currently #729!

So thankful we have the physical book so I can keep moving forward in the beautiful story.

Stop in and check out a copy for yourself today.
