This was strange in the best way — atmospheric, a little eerie, and hard to put down. Some parts dragged, but overall it was good.

Book is extremely long but once half way in it is difficult to put down,

I loved how much tension and emotion built up between Conrad and Belly, but when it finally came together it felt too rushed. So much time was spent on other relationships that I was left wanting more of their quieter, meaningful moments. As a Team Conrad reader, I just wanted more of their happiness after all the drama. I would honestly read another book just to get those missing pieces, and I really hope the Amazon Prime streaming show gives us more of that side of their story.

This was a fascinating book. I know that it is hotly debated how much of this story was true and how much was sensationalized, but I still found it fascinating. I personally love the science of casinos, and this was a great insight into how these people dealt with it. I am no genius and only wish I had this ability. I really liked the way the author told this story when it was told to him. I also like how he got multiple perspectives. I have also seen the movie multiple times and liked it, but not as much as the book. It made me want to go back to Vegas.

Great book! Nora and her sister Libby go on a reconnect vacation to Sunshine, N Carolina. While there, Libby makes a list of everything they must accomplish before vacation is over. While there Nora meets Charlie, her nemesis from NYC. As they spend more time together, Nora and Charlie become the romantic couple that can never be together… or can they? I recommend this quick, fun read.

I really enjoyed this fantasy, historical fiction/ thriller. It kept my interest, going to 3 different eras, 1600’s, 1940’s and 2019. I was drawn to read this book after reading the author ‘s 2nd book.

A book out of my typical Genre. An Allegory. Lessons of Life taught by the sun and the moon to a young boy, through storytelling. There is also an overall plot. Very short book. Interesting. Sort of like Aesop’s Fables. Well written, made me emotional at times. Felt that the author was in some way reflecting on the times we are living through. Glad I read it, not sure if it is for everybody.

This is a nice non-fiction book about Abigail and John Adams. Telling the story of their lives, getting some information from letters and journals.

This book was not for me. It wasn't as well written, and it was full of too many plot points. Plus, most of those plot points were entirely unnecessary. The story was full of sci-fi clichés. There were no characters worth rooting for or caring about, and anything they did wrong, led to zero consequences.

Trapped in a terrifying marriage with two young daughters, and a baby on the way, Ciara knows that she and her are no longer safe in their home. Her husband is cruel, and although he has not become physical, he is emotionally torturing her. While she has been thinking about it for a while, she impetuously leaves when one evening things become impossible. From here on, the book describes her attempt to leave, navigating the impossible bureaucracy, the challenging housing market, being penniless, with children, being unable to work, and being tormented by her husband, as she tries to navigate the situation and keep her children safe, and regain control of their lives. Along the way she encounters the good, the bad and the ugly. Friendships blossom; professionals try to help. The mean stay mean. An emotional rollercoaster, an insider’s look into the difficulty of “leaving”.
