This is the 3rd book in the Molly the Maid series. It focuses mostly on her gran's story using a diary. And the mystery of the Fabergé egg. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first one. I listened to the audio version.

Absolutely loved this story! The historical facts, the mystery and the setting really kept me enthralled. I learned a lot about the impact the war had on this very quintessential summer place. The human relationships were so very well entwined with the historical events.

While less of a novel and more of a reference book, it was still a lot of fun. There was incredible photography and amazing stories of seeing the world through the lens of the Golden Arches. It made me want to go out and travel more. It also made me want some fries and Mcnuggets. A great book for anyone who loves food, travel, and grew up on Happy Meals.

In this memoir of a self diagnosed Psychopath, Gagne, sets out to prove that not Psychopaths are monsters and should be shunned by society

This is the fourth novel by Ellen Meister that I have read and I enjoyed it very much! Joybird Martin, our protagonist, is an optimistic, idealistic 31 year old woman who tries to see the best in everyone and brighten everyone's day. She drives an UBER but would like to be a life coach. One day she drives Devon, a Wall St. equity analyst, who gives her the idea to become a mobile life coach, naming her Honda and business :Joyride. We also meet her dad, Sid Marcus, who loses his job as a TV comedy writer and is now living with Joybird. She has to negotiate her relationship with both her dad and Devon, who she resists but to whom she is attracted.

This was a really cute MM vampire romance with a great grumpy/sunshine trope.

Maggie works in a bookshop in a town that doesn't allow new books to be sold. She works around it with the help of the townspeople.

It was entertaining but some parts seemed far fetched

Very well researched and illustrated graphic novel about Jane Austen which is full of fun facts, lesser known facts, a unique viewpoint, and with some embellishments. I enjoyed this book because it was a different way of learning and reading about someone through comic book format.
