If you haven't picked up a copy of this year's One Book One Community title, there's still plenty of time to get one and join in the fun! This is actually my fourth year participating in this great fall event.

All the Way Home: Building a Family in a Falling Down House follows author David Giffels and his family as they move into a once beautiful home in Akron, Ohio. Fixer upper doesn't even begin to describe the attention and dedication needed to make the place habitable. But Giffels puts in the hard work, the perseverance, and a lot of love to create not just a liveable house, but a lifelong home.

Northern Kentucky One Book One Community started in 2007 as an annual community-wide reading partnership program between Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton County Public Libraries. The program promotes a sense of community by facilitating the enjoyment of reading and talking about a great book. People all across the region participate in public and private book discussions, attend supplemental library programs, and then meet the author at library talks and book signings.
