I'm not saying this book is awful, it actually draws some interesting parallels between Vietnam and the Holocaust. It is with sadness I say that the gladness was sucked right out of me with the repetition and long draw out story

You can always count on Katherine Center for a good old fashioned feel good Rom Com. Her latest, THE LOVE HATERS doesn't disappoint. A young women, recently disappointed in love, finds herself drawn to a young man who has similarly had a bad recent past with the opposite sex. Throw in a job in jeopardy, two warring brothers, a coast guard hottie, and a hurricane and you have a few enjoyable hours of reading. What more could you want from a book?

Magda's best friend Sarah dies and Magda makes a bucket list road trip. She takes Sarah's ashes with her. There are a lot of flashbacks to past experiences and conversations, plus letters and cards that Sarah sent over the years.

THE FROZEN PEOPLE, author Elly Griffiths' latest book, has many of the same features as her previous books. She has a well drawn central character, great supporting characters, experts in a variety of subjects, and the wonderful English humor, countryside, and history. Her new book has now added time travel to the mix ... How much easier crime solving would be if the police could arrive in time to see the villain running from the body with a bloody knife in his hand? ( Why they couldn't arrive before the murder and stop it is a question for another time!) This book takes the investigators back to Victorian times. Why were they looking into such an old case? You'll have to read the book to find out ... Or, better yet, start reading her series featuring forensic pathologist Ruth Galloway!!

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.

Flashback, Jill and David’s daughter Sophia goes missing at the park, she is found 40 minutes later, fine, but with bug bites, or are they needle puncture marks in her arm? Blood tests reveal no drugs, no harm done. Or so they think. Then three months later Sophia disappears again. The parents are now suspects. Interesting premise. Kept me guessing as to what happened.

Predictable and Disappointing. A nice feel good book, but I expected more.

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.

This was such a wonderful book, taking place in Paris during WWII and then in 1980s the US. A stolen bracelet, a jewel thief, the mystery of a murder, secrets of the past. And an amazing ending.

This was a very interesting Historical Fiction that takes place in Nebraska and the Dakota Territory during the 1800s. Melanie weaves the story through the perspective of two teenage sisters serving as teachers in two different areas. It is based on a real event when a severe Winter storm developed midday. You are drawn into the lives of children, adults, and westward expansion.
