I thought the part with the pill and the cake was really funny.

I liked this one more than the first book in the series. I like Jane and Jimmy’s alternate chapters. The ending was open ended and I think there will be another book in this series which I am looking forward to reading.

Israel, My Beloved
by Caleb Carr

book cover


A wonderful book for animal lovers, especially rescued cats. A little slow at times, it does work as a memoir. And architecture lovers will enjoy reading about the unique house Caleb built. And nature lovers will appreciate the vivid descriptions of the Taconic mountain. It's a light summer read, great for small moments. But be ready to cry at the end.

Once again a book about Gabriel Allon who is a daredevil Israeli spy and assassin. He is married now for a second time. An enjoyable book.

I'm Glad My Mom Died

A powerful story that truly opens one’s eyes to the different forms of abuse and mistreatment faced by some (and how these can go unaknowledged both by the victim and those watching).

Dead Money

Entertaining and twisty story about a lawyer-turned-venture capital investigator who is tasked as acting as a liaison to the FBI. They're investigating the murder of a tech company CEO. Layered, complicated, and suspenseful—keeps you guessing. Highly recommend.

Alias Emma

Really fun read. Plot-driven, moves at a great pace, was everything I’d hoped the book would be. Flashbacks weren’t intrusive to the current plot events, nor too numerous; anytime we departed the main action for some backstory it was equally captivating. This is the kind of book that makes me delighted to know it’s a series.

The Crucible

Was my summer reading book and I had low expectations going in but I actually enjoyed it! It’s a very dramatic play about the Salem witch trials so it’s fun to see references to actual historical things. It’s also very strong and thematic. The author intended it to compare to the red scare going on at the time of the book, but I think it can be related to really any point in time. Some parts are iffy, but honestly I got hooked by the end!
