If you have heard stories about Captain Kidd, this non-fiction book will set you straight. I found it an interesting read.

Very nice Light summer read.

While they are there, Carolines high school boyfriend from all those years ago, is found dead. A complicated plot, with some great clues along the way, if you recognize them. I had some idea’s, some proven right, some proven wrong. I enjoyed this intriguing mystery.

Interesting book about a southern women who helps save the life of a Northern soldier during the Civil War

This story is set in China during the 1800s. The fate of girls and women were tied to male society. During that time mothers bound their daughters feet. Generally, the feet of girls born in the country were not bound. This story is about two young girls: Little Flower and Lingjing. Little Flower’s mother bound her feet to give her a good chance of marriage. Lingjing’s father interceded in the binding of his daughter’s feet so she was released from the process. When Little Flower’s father dies, her mother needs to make a deal for her daughter’s future. The fate of both girls is sealed. The look at Chinese culture as well as twists and turns in the life of the two girls was fascinating. I could not put this book down. I was engaged in all the twists and turns in little Flowers’ life.

This book made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me think and it made me feel. What a beautiful, wonderful, amazing book. It is also a great choice for the 'book about art' space on the tic tac toe board!

I my never ride a train again and that is the only spoiler. Most definitely worth the read. I was so engrossed that I was almost late for work, and I work from home. With A Vengeance by Riley Saeger is Not a perfect 5 stars but really close. By the way, don't keep guessing, just keep reading.

This book is a memoir written by Whoopi Goldberg about her relationship with her mother and brother. She discussed the influence that her mother had on her and how she helped her become the person she is now. The book was heartwarming and informative. I liked this book

A prominent lawyer murdered: two sisters, vastly different and estranged, one is his widow, the other, not only her sister but his x wife. A son, staying with his dad and stepmom (his aunt) but secretly in touch with his biological mother, is accused of the murder. A twisty surprising novel. Much enjoyed.
