REVIEW: Whoa, what a great, heart-pounding story!! Karin Slaughter is the best when it comes to thrillers! I didn’t read anything about this one at all before I started, so imagine my surprise when I found Sara Linton kidnapped by some very bad guys right in front of Will Trent. I was horrified and terrified […]
REVIEW: The Oysterville Sewing Circle by Susan Wiggs has been a great distraction for me while I wait for Hurricane Dorian to get here. I loved this one like I love her other stories. Susan Wiggs is a total auto-read author for me. While I was reading, I kept thinking about how this is a […]
REVIEW: This story takes place in Mississippi in the 1950’s, and Olivia is not enchanted at all by her life. She misses how things were before she married, and she longs to see Paris. She’s so disenchanted that when she finds herself pregnant, she despairs and seeks out an abortion. Olivia does not live through […]
REVIEW: Lady in the Lake is so good! I suspected it would be given how much I loved Lippman’s Sunburn last year. When I started Lady in the Lake, I fell right into Ms. Lippman’s storytelling all over again and now, after two of her books, I can see that hers are stories that I’ll […]

While this first letter is a written assignment for one of April’s ninth grade classes, she continues writing these letters and this becomes the basis for her POV throughout the […]
REVIEW: I’m joining the chorus of others that are saying: The Islanders by Meg Mitchell Moore is a great beach read, a great pool read, a great summer read, a great everything read. I enjoyed each of these characters right away when I met them and only grew to love them more as the story […]
Review: One Minute Later by Susan Lewis had my emotions all over the place. Questions kept popping up while I was reading and I absolutely had to know the answers to them all. I don’t want to spoil anything at all for anyone, so I’m going to be a little bit vague in this review. […]
REVIEW: The Summer Country by Lauren Willig is wonderful, fantastic, brilliant. This story was so immersive that it pulled me in and I felt like I was right there, watching everything unfold with both generations. Taking place over about forty years, this story has everything: wealth and slavery, love and romance, betrayal and secrecy. At […]
REVIEW: Karin Slaughter’s books are truly comfort reads for me, blood and guts and all, because I read so many of them throughout my Dad’s long illness over the past couple of years. I adore her ability to punch me in the gut from the very beginning with her grit and gore, her exquisite characterization, […]
REVIEW: Waisted by Randy Susan Meyers is a fascinating read, as it takes a group of women and forces them to confront how badly they want to lose weight. Exactly how far they are willing to go. Seven women meet at what they think is a secluded resort in Vermont for a weight loss retreat, […]
