This Audiobook wove an interesting story about the lives of the Post Cereal Heiress. She was born in Texas but lived in many places. Her life mirrors our country’s history. Alison wove a beautiful story about the accomplishments of Marjorie Post. I am in awe of the challenges Alison faced, her generosity, and life challenges. This book held my interest and I listened to it while driving the car, preparing meals, and cleaning up. The narrator added a real life voice to the story.

My new favorite book series. The TV series Tracker is based off of these novels and if you like the show, you will love the books. This one was very exciting with some thrills, twists and turns in the plot. Thre characters have a lot of depth to them and I highly recommend you start at the beginning of the series as their is a continuous undelying story that takes place throughout each of them.

Well written book that starts on Long Island. The back story explores the ravages of the Vietnam Nam war, Vietnamese Refugees, and humanity. For those who lived through the turmoil of the Vietnam Nam war, it will bring memories flooding back. Another ‘Cannot put down’ book. There are many lessons embedded for Millenials, Gens X, Y, Z.

Everett dives into the very heart of Twain's Epochal odyssey, shifting the central view point from that of the unschooled , often credulous , but basically good-hearted Huck to the more enigmatic and heroic Jim, the Black slave with whom the boy escapes via raft on the Mississippi River.

Once again Lynda Loigman enthralled me with her story of Augusta, a woman before her time. Although I had a preview of the story when attending her visit at East Meadow, I could not put this book down. It is filled with history and was a tribute to aging. Augusta reminded me of some Great Aunts, Aunts, and my own Mother who dealt with life events in the world around them. Kudos to Lynda for writing another touching book. Thank you!

It feels so good to have a new Adriana Triggiani book to get lost in this summer. Jess Capodimonte Baratta is part of a big, messy, loving family that lives in Lake Como, NJ. Triggiani weaves her story full of wonderful characters between life in New Jersey and life in Lake Como in the Tuscany region of Italy. The work includes lots of Italian food and cultural descriptions that were so important in Triggiani’s prior stories. Jess works for her uncle Lou who owns a company that supplies white and blue marble sourced in Italiy for customers in NJ. We learn about the process of removing the marble from the hilltops. There is romance, culture, possible criminal involvement and amazing word pictures describing the beauty of the people, food, hills and lakes. I did not want this book to end.

I enjoyed some of the stories in this short story collection. I enjoyed hearing the author's explanations of how each story came to be.

In 1936, a young Charlotte Cross has the chance of a lifetime to explore the ruins of Ancient Egypt at an archaeological dig in Valley of the Kings. She is given opportunities to work alongside archaeologists, excavate artifacts, and do research on an ancient female pharoah, Hathorkare. She falls in love with a fellow archaeologist from London and then tragedy strikes. In 1978, Charlotte Cross is now a curator in the Egyptian wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY. Over the years she has continued to research Hathorkare and come up with a theory of her demise. On the night of the Met Gala, Charlotte's extensive research and an Egyptian artifact are stolen from the museum! Nineteen year old Annie Jenkins, who just began working as an assistant to Diana Vreeland, former Vogue fashion editor and organizer of the Gala, becomes a person of interest in the robbery. Charlotte and Annie team up to clear her name and find the thief and stolen artifact. This leads them to Egypt where the story began. If you like archaeology, ancient history, and this author I think you will like this book. I think it is Fiona Davis' best!

Jenny was in an unhappy marriage and ended up having an affair. She fell deeply in love and there were many missed opportunities and lost years. So sad. At least it had a happy ending.
