THE CAR SHARE BY: ZOE BRISBY
This was a REALLY cute book! It was funny and an overall great plot line. The storyline may be heavy, but the characters keep these heavy subjects light. I loved the (sometimes corney) one liners from Maxine. The book isn’t that moving where there is too much to say about it. I would classify this as a classic airplane…

LIGHTNING STRIKE BY: WILLIAM KENT KRUEGER
OH this one was interesting. This is my first Krueger book. Funny how life can time things perfectly. I just happen to attend a Smithsonian presentation of the Indian code talkers which briefed viewers in the beginning of boarding schools, etc while reading this book. Anyways – the book was good. A good mystery.…

1ST TO DIE BY: JAMES PATTERSON
James Patterson has fallen into the same trap that a few of ‘the greats’ have fallen into. Writing has become so much their job that there is a formula to it.

THE PARIS WIFE BY: PAULA MCLAIN
I’ve recently renewed my obsession with the classic authors that made the 1920’s the 1920s. (If you know what I mean..)

ROCK PAPER SCISSORS BY: ALICE FEENEY
What to say about ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors”…. Honestly I went into it not liking it. I didn’t like the synopsis. So my first advice to you is not read it. It felt very “And Then There Were None” and I was getting tired of reading books like that. On top of it, it sounded like it was…

THE SECRET MESSENGER BY: MANDY ROBOTHAM
I am a big fan of historical fiction, so I really enjoyed this story. I’ve read a few (A LOT) of WWII stories, but I have never read one set in Venice. That was SO interesting to me. Also interesting how the author mentions more than once that WWII hit other parts of Europe harder…

STORM OF SECRETS BY: LORETTA MARION
First off, I am obsessed with the idea of “The Cape”. Living on the edge of the ocean, with storms, tropical heat and winters – sounds like a challenge that I have idolized for awhile now. This book was already right in line for what I was looking for. This is #2 in a series…
