  • THE LOST APOTHECARY BY: SARAH PENNER

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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…
