by Nita Prose
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is the 3rd book in the Molly the Maid series. It focuses mostly on her gran's story using a diary. And the mystery of the Fabergé egg. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first one. I listened to the audio version.

A riveting historical novel/romance taking place during WWII in England and Ireland. It's the fifth in the Knocknashee series by one of my favorite authors. Grace and Richard have loved each other for four years, but it was never the right time to express their love.

The book was good but I thought it was too long. I think she could have told the same story in fewer page

book cover


Lucky for us Bill Clinton the former two term president of the USA continues to write with James Patterson. Former president Clinton brings Patterson to credible writing. If not for Clinton I would not be reading Patterson. The First Gentleman is a must summer read. Fast paced especially the courtroom scenes. A couple of bizarre twists and turns but I didn't care, I figured Patterson wrote them. Looking for the next presidential adventure.

July 7,2025 completing the Color our World Rainbow Connection This book was so terrific... While dealing with emotional family issues, Rowley intertwines tenderness, warmth, humor and teenage raising brilliance! I just loved the connections between all of his characters and rode along with Patrick's ride through life. The descriptions of the scenery and adventures that Patrick, Maisie and Grant were on as they traveled through Europe were so real that I felt I was with them on their journey. The writer actually captures the Sound of Music tour in Austria perfectly and I found myself singing along with them. I also found myself truly laughing out loud and tearing up a lot... Great writing!!! Great book!!!

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.

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.

I See You've Called In Dead

I have to be in the right mood for literary fiction, but the audiobook narrator hit this one out of the park. He captured both the dry humor Kenney is known for as well as Bud's emotional growth so fantastically. The book flew by for me with no boring spots, which is a high compliment for literary fiction.
