Cleaver ending ! All the characters get what is coming to them . Wickedly delightful classic husband verse wife. I wish the power of the house was better explained however as the crossroads did not seem to be enough explanation

In this post-pandemic world, raising a resilient, active and engaged elementary schooler can be a little tough. The helpful paragraphs and short, easy-to-understand suggestions are reassuring and giving the reader guidelines to follow.

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

It's a Love Story

Entertaining love story that's more than just fluff. A great beach read, but also a look at former child stars, perception vs reality, and real love vs Insta-love.

This book had me in tears by the end of it. It was almost like I could feel the pain of the characters seeping through the pages. By far one of the best books I have ever read.

The Disappearance Of Astrid Bricard
by Natasha Lester

book cover


Set in the fashion world, primarily in the 1970s but also present day and early 1940s. This is historical fiction but definitely a blend of history and fiction, as the author details at the end. The main characters are fictional but real people abound. Beyond an entertaining story and a mystery, the book is a commentary on how people are portrayed in the media, how their stories and history in general can be shaped by the offhand comments when people don't look further. Good book.

Six Four

book cover


Inaccurately marketed as a crime thriller, this slow burn of a political novel is unlike anything I’ve read. The protagonist is a detective, but positioned in a PR management liaison role between the police and journalists. I cared enough about him as a character to stick with the drier parts of the office politics to get to the cold case that resumes in a unique and gratifying way. Overall the novel hangs together narratively, has interesting characters, broaches topics I hadn’t seen addressed in fiction before, or so well, and gives the reader enough of a plot payoff to read through the complex, intellectual matter that takes up much of its 576 pages. But if you pick it up looking for a page-turning mystery, you’ll be disappointed.

The Penderwicks In Spring

I got to meet the author of the Penderwick series and I got to ask questions like do you speak Latin because there was Latin in the Penderwicks? She said it was fun the add different languages into it but she doesn’t speak Latin. It was so cool to meet my favorite author in the world everyone should read her books and she has a new book The Library of Unruly Treasures

Swan Song

Not one of my favorites of her. I thought there was too much info dumping about popular restaurants and stores in Nantucket and not enough focus on the plot. I did not like many of the characters in the story either especially Leslee and Bull.
