I liked the plot of it but it had very technical writing about how volcanos worked and so I didn’t understand a lot of what was happening. I enjoyed it but found it to be a dense read.

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.

Already left a review for this week when I posted my previous time. I still feel the same about the book-good read but not one of my favorite books by this author.

The Way I Used To Be was heartbreaking. The plot, characters, and what eventually happens broke me. The main character, Eden was once a spirited young girl until Kevin, her brother's best friend really r her. This is a story that should be shared throughout. The message is clearly worthy. For Eden, that pushed down trauma only hurt her more. She runs away from herself and all she's ever known - her family, friends, home. Her high schools years abruptly shift, until it's too unbearable. It frustrated me because of her silence. She never told anyone. I know that this book taught me a lot.

I loved how they made cupcakes that they liked best. I love cupcakes.

I love how she worked hard and learned to read.

A typical Gabriel Allon book which actually had two parts to it which Made it longer than usual. It was good and enjoyable.

Light and easy. Not my favorite in the series, but you can’t go wrong with the laundry club ladies. Always entertaining and cute!

I loved this book. It was like a walk down memory lane as he describes the roles he did and his journey through Hollywood.

Another typical Gabriel Allon book. This one was very long though. There is a lot of information about the Temple Mount and history that makes you wonder how much is true.
