This non-fiction book offers a fresh, fun look at the time of the American Revolution. Who knew alcohol played such a big part in our history.

Just finished this book in time for meeting the author on 7/28. I was surprised that I liked it as much as I did. I've never read this author before and now I'm looking forward to reading her other books.

The unique writing style had such great promise, and the audiobook actors were phenomenal. But the story itself fell flat. I’m definitely open to stories that end with lingering mystery, but I feel like absolutely nothing was explained at the end. It feels like the author took way too much liberty with the “let the reader come to their own conclusions” concept and just didn’t bother to come up with a full idea.

If you enjoyed reading The Bookwoman of Troublesome Creek and/or The Bookwoman’s Daughter, you will want to read this book. What happened to Cussy and her family? I could not put this book down. Historical Fiction is interwoven into the plot by an author from Kentucky who knows the journey.

This thriller kept my interest. It had a lot of twists with a surprising ending. It was interesting to see the conclusions Courtney kept making. I would recommend this book

An enjoyable tour as 84 year old Lillian walks across Manhattan on New Year’s Eve 1984 reminiscing about her life and career as an ad writer for RH Macy’s.

This book came out in 2011 and I never read it, but it was recommended. Jude the mother of 2 teenage twins, seems to have the perfect life. And then Lexi, a former foster child, moves into their town and becomes friendly with Mia, one of the twins. A heartbreaking story of 2 families, friendship, an accident, the consequences, and how they tried to heal. Motherhood, family, friendship, love, betrayal, identity, forgiveness.

Excellent! Nothing like a good Scottish romance!

THINGS YOU SAVE IN A FIRE by Katherine Center focuses of a slice of the life of female firefighter Cassie Hanwell. A life, like most, that has many ups and downs. When Cassie is pressured to change jobs, states, and family relationships she is thrown for a loop. Luckily her crew at her new fire house help her to grow. The characters, story, and writing style are thoroughly enjoyable. I look forward to her next engaging story ...

It took me the better part of four years but I finally finished the 14th and final book of The Wheel of Time. This final entry is essentially 1,000 straight pages of The Last Battle, an event the series had been building towards since book 1 and it delivers in the best way possible. The series is hard to recommend just because of how insanely long it is, but it's absolutely one that is worth reading at least one time through for fantasy fans. Robert Jordan's worldbuilding was second to virtually none, and the series has one of the most memorable main casts of characters you are ever likely to get out of this type of series. Brandon Sanderson did about as well as you could reasonably expect, given he was tasked with finishing someone else's life's work. It took me forever, and the series is definitely not without its flaws but I don't regret reading it for a second.
