  • THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE BY: V.E. SCHWAB

    This has to be the top best, five, ten books I have ever read. It is a great mix of a great story, great characters, thrill, suspense, mystery IT JUST HAS IT ALL. I can’t believe it took my so long to read this! I’m upset with myself for not letting me get the chance…

  • THE TURN OF THE KEY BY: RUTH WARE

    Not sure why so many low stars from my fellow readers for these excellent book? Okay yes, it was a little weird. A little odd. Not your normal thriller – BUT HOW MANY TIMES CAN AUTHORS RE-WRITE AN AGATHA CHRISTIE BOOK? This was different and I loved it. It was weird, odd and had lots…

  • THE FOUR WINDS BY: KRISTIN HANNAH

    4.5 stars rounded up to 5. HUGE FAN of Kristin Hannah. This book was a tough one. Same wonderful writing you’d expect from the author but dang, it’s depressing. There was never any happiness, which honestly made it hard to read. But also, where is there happiness in ‘The Great Depression’. I mean … it…

  • THE LOST APOTHECARY BY: SARAH PENNER

    Loved it! I loved the characters and the way Penner weaved present time and the past together. I really loved how everything was tied up in a neat little bow at the end. I am knowingly giving this story 5 stars although I don’t think it will ‘last’ with me. I don’t think this is…

  • THERE IS A TIDE BY: AGATHA CHRISTIE

    I am in FULL agreement with all other reviews that you should not read the last 3 pages of the book. Yet, that does not stop me from giving the book a full 5 stars. I really enjoyed this story. I thought it WAS overly complex but it kept me confused enough to not see…

  • CHURCHILL’S SECRET MESSENGER BY: ALAN HLAD

    Another WWII book that blew my mind. I ADORED this book. I love the story, love the characters and cried at the ending. I was yelling at the pages through my tears. Alan Hlad was messing with me! (ha) This is a well done story. It weaves between characters perfectly. Wonderful, unique depiction of Churchill.…

  • THE HOBBIT, OR THERE AND BACK AGAIN BY: J.R.R. TOLKIEN

    What can you even say about a classic like this? This is my third time around reading this… Surprised I didn’t previously leave a review. I ran out of books to read, so had to browse my shelf to look for a good reread to pass the time. DANG – it did not disappoint. We…

  • THE ALICE NETWORK BY: KATE QUINN

    DANG – What a good one …This was a hands down excellent book. I enjoyed the wide variety of characters, the alternating stories and how it all tied up in a nice bow in the end. (I hate it when two sets of timelines never actually tie together.) The writing got a little sluggish in…

  • THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME BY: LAURA DAVE

    Excellent book – fast paced – easy read… I really enjoyed this book! It is one of those ‘mysteries’ that keep going without any lagging. The story just keeps going, which I appreciate. Also because of the wonderful pacing, it was hard to put down and I finished in 2 days (easily could finish in…
