My gram reads trashy romance novels and watches Jerry Springer! LOL So I don't have any suggestions for you on that front.

I've heard this is a really good book. It sounds entertaining.

Jan Karon's pretty clean. My mom adores her books. But she's pretty well known already.

I really want to read The UnCommon Reader. It sounds like something I would really like.

Gilead or Peace Like a River might work.

Dee Henderson's O'Malley series are clean crime dramas. Very enjoyable. if you want to give a bit of nostalgia The Daring Book for Girls is great for any age.

The Guernsey Litereary and Potato Peel Society was pretty clean, wasn't it. I don't remember anything offensive or graphic. Only some war images. And the fact that one of the characters had a baby out of wedlock. Great book, and if she was alive at the time as my grandmother was, she might enjoy it.

Book Lover Lisa beat me to it! I was going to suggest the Guernsey book as well!

Perhaps one of Persephone Books' titles would work for her. Miss Ranskill Comes Home was very good and written in the 40s, so pretty clean.

Has she read all the Stephenie Meyer and Shannon Hale books yet? They're my idea of clean-but-good reading. :) (Does she even like fantasy?)

This is not what I typically read but it certainly sounded good. I think I will have to try it out.

I loved An Uncommon Reader!! It was my Christmas present one year and it was such a fun discovery. To pass the Grandma test you should try the Mrs. Pollifax series by Dorothy Gilman. Mrs. Pollifax is a widow and senior citizen who one day decides to leave her comfortable apartment and life and hook up with the CIA. It is a "comic" spy-mystery series that kind of reminds one a little of Murder She Wrote, but better. Our book group read one about 7 years ago and we still talk about what a great discovery this little lady was. She has a lot of pluck! She may also like the Miss Julia books by Ann B. Ross. I sold this one a lot at Barnes and Noble when I managed the store. Let me know what you think!

If she is into non fiction stuff, I would recommend "Once Upon a Town" (memoir about a town who helps trains passing through South Dakota on the way to fight in the war) or Letters of a Nation (collection of letters written by famous people throughout American History). Loved them both and seem safe for Grandma reads.

I can't think of any good recommendations off the top of my head, but this does sound like a great read.

*runs off to add it to her list.

Sounds like a great book! I can't wait to read it, even if you grammy shouldn't. I'd go for a classic for her (Jane Eyre or something.)

I love that you grade each book. Fun!
