The book is about a movie star who is black listed in Hollywood because of her costar in her latest movie. The story was interesting although of the story seemed forced to fit the narrative
Let's Make A Scene

book cover


Cynthie Taylor and Jack Turner Jones are young actors who star in their first movie together and are tasked with pretending to be in a fake relationship for publicity purposes. The entire relationship implodes and both Cynthie and Jack vow never to speak again. Thirteen years later, the two more famous stars are offered to star in a remake of the original cult classic movie but with the stipulation of having another pretend relationship for publicity. The second time around with ground rules and more maturity, can Cynthie and Jack face the truth about each other? Read and find out. This was definitely a feel good read and I recommend it if you are looking for a little romance.
Shutter

I wanted to like this book. I actually got it at a previous library summer reading even as part of my parting gift. The premise was a little too into the fantasy camp for my taste. The novel is about a CSI photographer who can see ghosts, both in her family and of the victims she photographs. There is a lot of Native American lore, which is interesting, but unfortunately the reveals are anti climactic and do not live up the the "thrilling" part of being a thriller. More of a summer beach read.
Hidden Pictures

An engrossing mystery that kept me turning pages until I finished. Mallory is a young woman who became addicted to painkillers. She has been sober for 18 months and is hired as a nanny for a 5 year old boy, Teddy. When Teddy begins producing some disturbing drawings, Mallory begins to investigate. There is a shocking twist near the end that I did not see coming.

Songs of Summer by Jane L Rosen is another enjoyable "Summer Reads" (If you haven't read it, SPOILER ALERT STOP READING HERE. The central plot takes place of Fire Island. The story while a little predictable still kept me interested. I was impressed by the characters back story. I would have preferred a few more surprises. I liked the ending BUT, it was for me, cookie cutter - It is as if Ms. Rosen didn't try hard enough to be creative which is why a 4 and not a 5.

How To Age Disgracefully
by Clare Pooley

book cover


A new senior citizens group is formed, but no one expects it to have the effect that it has on each person involved in the group and on the children in the day care that is housed in the same building. This book has many different characters with unusual backgrounds and personalities. The last ¼ of the book was very fast-paced, but the earlier part of the book was just OK.

Not your typical Stephen King novel. However, it was interesting and strange.

This is not a book I would have picked myself.. My sister read it for a Book Club and insisted I read it. I am so glad I did! Suspense, twist and turns. A book you cannot put down. Finished in 1.5 days and want to know what happens next for Millie.
