book cover


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.

I really enjoyed reading this mystery/ thriller. It was interesting slowly learning the facts about Savvy’s murder through Ben’s podcast. He interviews several people in Lucy and Saavy’s town to find answers to the Whodunnit. I enjoy Lucy’s character and friendship with Saavy

This book was just what I needed for a summer read, light and breezy. Twin Olive announces to her very close family that she and her fiancé are going to elope in Hawaii so not to remind her sister, Amelia, of her failed marriage. The family plans to surprise the couple in Hawaii with a full blown wedding. Ami and her cousin Diego set off early to start the preparations. Ami is forced to plan the wedding with charismatic best man Brody and eventually they like each other. Was this whole elopement a ruse to get Ami out of her rut. Read and find out. I also recommend the audiobook, it is read with multiple actors and sound effects.

I liked this book very much. It was a nicely written book with some difficult plot lines dealing with spousal abuse and homelessness. So there were times that I had to stop reading the book.

A short (277 pages) novel, but packed with emotion! The protagonist, Michael Woodbine is very relatable. When he was 7 years old, he nearly died from a fireworks accident. We meet him at age 19, starting college, where he meets his film professor, Robert Denning, who will influence Michael's life in a profound way. Deals with the themes of self-acceptance, love, and parenting. This story will stay with me for a long time.

You are drawn into the lives of children, adults, and westward expansion.
