I like how she used old things to make something new

Great read especially if you like tennis and relationships! Taylor Jenkins Reid is a lovely author, this is the 3rd book of hers I’ve read.

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.

I usually enjoy Reese's Book Club picks and The House in the Pines was an enjoyable book although not what I expected. The book is written in third person with the main protagonist being a young 25-year-old named, Maya. When she was eighteen, Maya dated a man named Frank and she seemed to lose significant periods of time when with him. A key event is when Maya's best friend, Aubrey, just died for no reason when having a conversation with Frank. Fast forward to 7 years later when Maya was 25 and saw a video on social media where the same Frank is in a booth at a diner in Maya's hometown of Pittsfield, MA, and the woman across from him also suddenly dies while just talking to Frank. While depicted as a thriller, the book is just about Frank's interesting ability (no spoiler alert). My favorite parts of the book dealt with Maya's Guatemalan background, her late father, and her visits to Guatemala City.

Good book. Great author. Great characters. Good read. Quick read. Entertaining. Keeps you on your toes.

I think June B is the funniest group of books. She is hilarious.

I love learning new fancy words with Fancy Nancy. I also pretended that I needed glasses one time.

This was a very slow read. I wasn’t a huge fan of either Shiloh or Cary. I would have liked the back and forth timeline more if the past chapters didn’t keep jumping all around so much. I liked Shiloh’s kids more than I liked her.

A Sherlock Holmes-ish mystery set in the 1920s, as a good cop teams up with a “graphologist” in a dangerous bid to expose corruption within the London police department.

I enjoyed this book - I loved putting together the sights and scents in my head and feel I could smell them. I enjoyed how she incorporated Grace Kelly with a beautiful store of a local parfumerie. I will say I was surprised by some turn of events before the passing of Grace Kelly, but it was a nice story
