The Golden Couple

This book was just OK. The first few chapters really drew me in and made me want to read more, but the ending was such a big let down. It moved quickly, but had such a disappointing ending.

The Frozen People
by Elly Griffiths

book cover


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!!

The novel is about Hana, present day librarian in Minnesota and past teenager during the Bonsai war in 1995. Her friend Amina’s mysterious death in the beginning of the book, keeps you eagerly reading to figure out the reason. The book educate me about the Bosnia war and the Srebrenica massacre. It made me understand more about the horrors of that war and the impact it has on individuals and communities that were involved.

I really enjoyed this historical fictional novel with the backdrop of the beach at Martha’s Vineyard. They were all interesting characters and the author’s note is very interesting to see how the author tied it to history and her own life.

A well-loved woman in a small town has died after being shot with an arrow. A famous inspector comes from Montreal to try to figure out whether this was murder or a hunting accident, and who shot her. We meet most of the residents of the town. This book has many funny parts as well as a good mystery. Highly recommended. I look forward to reading the other books in this series

When The Wolf Comes Home

This book is not for the faint of heart. It is gory and strange (very Twilight Zone) but if you can get through that you are left with a fascinating story about love, fear, parenting and all the impacts that it has on us as kids and adults. I don’t think I’ll ever forget this book- what a ride

This Is How It Always Is
by Laurie Frankel

book cover


Read this book!!! Penn is an author who is a stay-at-home dad; Rosie is emergency room doctor who eventually changes her preferred specialty to accommodate her youngest child. The couple has 5 sons, but at 3 years old the youngest tells them that when he grows up, he wants to be a girl. This book does an incredible job of showing what it’s like when a member of the family was born with the wrong genitalia. The author tells how different family members and community members react, and the impact this has on the child, the parents, the siblings, the grandmother, and friends. It’s also a novel about parenthood in general. I did not want to put this book down. It's insightful, heartfelt, full of quotes that I highlighted, and a must read.
