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

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.

Ruth Franklin did a lot of research to fill in the gaps about Anne Frank's life and death, Anne's writing and rewriting of the diary, Anne's father's editing of the diary through the years, and Ruth discusses the plays, books and movies based on Anne's life.

I don't like rating political books. Nothing in this novel was surprising to me, anyone could see the decline in the President and I think it was more about what people would justify of our leaders to prevent an outcome they didn't want. I read this book because I think it's important to hear from all sides about the truths hidden and manipulated to us from people in power. I also recognize the divisiveness of politics now and I don't want to contribute to that so if this review isn't posted, I completely understand.

I didn’t care for this book, I think it made light of serious topics like depression and suicide

My first impression as I started Murder Takes a Vacation by Laura Lippman was this is a farce and I am being fooled. It was light silly reading. While I was never quite sure of the ending, I found it contrived. I found the novel not intriguing. Since I didn't have anything else to read, I figured might as well read Murder Takes A Vacation to the end.

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.

Another chapter in the Michael Bennett character series, this book does not disappoint. Blending the usual police thriller with Bennet's unique family situation, Patterson once again delivers a page-turner that is difficult to put down. A rash of retired police officer suicides may not be what they seem and the investigation intersects with another examining a string of deaths of drug dealers from various gangs. There are numerous twists and turns as Patterson and co-author James Born deliver another strong piece of the series.

A woman inherits a beach house on Fire Island and spends the summer there trying to figure out her life. This book is kind of a sequel to On Fire Island, with some of the characters from that book in this one. It's a cute rom-com. Lots of characters, a love-hate relationship.

This was a wonderful sequel to the book The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek. Honey Lovett is the daughter of the blue-skinned Troublesome Creek packhorse librarian. Honey's mother and father are imprisoned, and Honey decides to continue her mother's book route. As an avid reader, I especially understood how much these people yearned for the opportunity to enjoy reading.
