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.

I really enjoyed this book about social media influencers, which I don’t follow and don’t know much about. It kept my interest and had a lot of twists and turns especially in the epilogues.

I read this book in high school and remember enjoying it. I wanted to re-read it to see how it compares with the actuality of life now, in terms of the technological "advances" that were used in the book. It turned out that I remembered scenes from the book that I guess I fabricated; only one thing that I recalled actually took place in the novel. The book did not hold my attention, and I wouldn't recommend it. I imagine it meant more when the Cold War was still in effect.

This Audiobook wove an interesting story about the lives of the Post Cereal Heiress. She was born in Texas but lived in many places. Her life mirrors our country’s history. Alison wove a beautiful story about the accomplishments of Marjorie Post. I am in awe of the challenges Alison faced, her generosity, and life challenges. This book held my interest and I listened to it while driving the car, preparing meals, and cleaning up. The narrator added a real life voice to the story.

I wanted to like this book. I actually got it at a previous library summer reading even as part of my parting gift. The premise was a little too into the fantasy camp for my taste. The novel is about a CSI photographer who can see ghosts, both in her family and of the victims she photographs. There is a lot of Native American lore, which is interesting, but unfortunately the reveals are anti climactic and do not live up the the "thrilling" part of being a thriller. More of a summer beach read.

This book is a memoir written by Whoopi Goldberg about her relationship with her mother and brother. She discussed the influence that her mother had on her and how she helped her become the person she is now. The book was heartwarming and informative. I liked this book

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?

This is the sequel to The Woman in Cabin 10. It starts out with you thinking you made a mistake and are reading the same book again. Then it goes on with some twists and turns but it takes forever to get to those. Very slow and by the time you get to the end, you don't even really care anymore. Disappointing.

I really enjoyed this short (170 pages) collection of humorous essays by Nora Ephron, screenwriter of When Harry Met Sally. She deals with topics such as aging, body maintenance, and parenting in a witty, relatable way. Her essay "I Hate My Purse" made me laugh out loud several times as I recognized myself.
