The Missing Half
by Ashley Flowers
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Two women decide to investigate together the disappearance of their missing sisters. The sisters were taken in different incidents separated by only a few weeks. Both cases were reported as runaways. Nicole Monroe and Jenna Conner don’t believe that their sisters ran away, and are determined to investigate together to determine what really happened. A little bit of a different concept. I like my mysteries so it was a good read for me. This is one of those that some of the incidents seem a bit preposterous, but keep the plot going.

I love the way Fiona Davis weaves her stories around historical buildings in NYC. This one is centered around the NY Public Library and a family that lives within the building.

If you loved Mad Men, this gives you that same 1960s New York vibe but with a strong woman at the center. Watching Alice step into Helen Gurley Brown’s world at Cosmo is such a fun ride. Fashion, ambition, drama -- total escape reading.

Sweet little mystery, very Miss Marple-like. I had it all along, but it was still a nice read. Loved the relationship between grandmother and grandson.

Great Big Beautiful Life: Reese's Book Club

book cover


The story within the story is what made me give this 5 stars. The mystery involved in Margaret Ives's life really kept me enthralled. There is romance but the love shared within Alice's and Margaret's lives are bigger than any romance. Emily Henry brought home the bigger message that life is about loving, sharing love and how we take care of those we love.

Mcatlas

book cover


While less of a novel and more of a reference book, it was still a lot of fun. There was incredible photography and amazing stories of seeing the world through the lens of the Golden Arches. It made me want to go out and travel more. It also made me want some fries and Mcnuggets. A great book for anyone who loves food, travel, and grew up on Happy Meals.

Six Of Crows
by Leigh Bardugo

book cover


This is a young adult fantasy book that revolves around a group of six “friends” that go on a heist. I loved this book! Five out of five stars! It was so good. It is a little confusing because the book is written assuming the reader knows background of the world, however I did not read the Shadow and Bone trilogy before this. However, it is not difficult to catch on with the help of google and reading on. The author did a really good job, in my opinion, writing the characters and showing their growth and development. It’s also very nice how the author writes the friendships and relationships. I love the characters and feel the emotion. Beautifully written! Definitely recommend to fantasy fanatics.

The Perfect Divorce
by Jeneva Rose

book cover


I wish I had read The Perfect Marriage in this series first. It didn’t spoil this otherwise standalone book, but I would have had some great background to add richness to the novel. I loved the cover of this book, and the creative way the sides of the book were made to look like they were smeared in blood. I was actually reading it at the oral surgeon’s office, so it made quite a stir. Anyway, this is Sarah’s second marriage. She has one daughter. She has an interesting backstory with her previous husband; he was accused of murder she defended him she lost, and he was eventually executed. She has now served her second husband of 10 years with divorce papers, as he was caught cheating on her. He would like forgiveness and to stay married. Not a chance! The story follows the complications around this divorce and the havoc it wreck's, in other people’s lives, including murder and kidnapping. and the reopening of her former husband’s case in light of new evidence. Enjoy the ride!
