I listened to the audible version read by Jeremy Sisto. Wow, It was unputdownable and very moving but also sad and disturbing.

Ruth Franklin did a lot of research to fill in the gaps about Anne Frank's life and death, Anne's writing and rewriting of the diary, Anne's father's editing of the diary through the years, and Ruth discusses the plays, books and movies based on Anne's life.

The best part of Johnny Careless by Kevin Wade were the acknowledgements. There was very little I liked about this novel. I didn't care about any of the characters - they were one dimensional - there was no character growth - they just moved along at a snails pace just like the plot.

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.

I loved this book. It is well written and it is a great story with a bit of a surprise ending It is about 2 writers,one male one female,that are both interested in writing the Biography of a woman from a wealthy family who has been in hiding for a lot of years As the two people compete to get the rights to the book they form a friendship with each other Which leads to something more. You will have to read the book to find out what happens between themI recommend this book.

There was a lot I liked in this book but some of the potty humor and elder abuse that was glossed over really upset me. The ending definitely made it worth reading though

Incidents Around The House
by Josh Malerman
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I didn’t realize this was the horror genre, not my typical read. Thematically it addresses issues around families and secrets and betrayals, but on the surface, true to its plot, it is a horror story, and a pretty scary one. Eight-year-old Bella has a friend, but she lives inside the closet. She is not invisible but can take many shapes and forms. Bella names her “Other Mother”. She wants Bella to let her into her heart, but Bella continues to resist. “Other Mother” starts out as a good friend, and Bella has no other friends. As Bella’s mom and dad’s relationship seems to be crumbling, “Other Mother” seems to become more aggressive and stronger. What follows is this family’s journey to be free from “Other Mother”. I am not quite sure how it ended, and I have now read the ending three times. I am still thinking about it.
