This was such a cute read! I couldn’t put it down and finished it in a day. Perfect for a summer day!

Red Kayak

I didn’t realize this was a book for middle schoolers when I picked it up . That being said the subject matter is very deep, murder, abuse , child lose and grief . I couldn’t gauge the time setting . The 13 year olds have to help out and work crabbing, culling chickens etc and they even smoke cigarettes. I feel it would be hard for children to connect to this book today.

I think that I was way too excited to read this and that my expectations were too high. I liked the choose your own concept but I didn’t like Marsh at all.

The Honjin Murders

Charming narration offers an introduction to an endearing detective in a cozyish locked room murder mystery with a clever plot. If you’ve burned through all of Agatha Christie, this series will appeal to you.

The Frozen River

This is an excellent book. It is historical fiction. The main character lived and was a midwife but the author created a story around her. Martha and her husband Ephraim are wonderful people/characters who you like, respect and admire. A wonderful book to read. This is my second time reading it.

Kind of an odd story. Two sisters own a ballet studio that was passed down to them by their mother. When the studio is damaged, a contractor is brought in and delays and weird things happen. Not what I expected.

Maybe In Another Life
by Taylor Jenkins Reid

book cover


'Maybe in Another Life' was a compelling read but then held some aspects I disliked. I did fall in love with the characters, such as the main one, Hannah. I was glad to see how far she'd come in both lives. Her life story makes me feel a bit better. She changed from indecisive to quite decisive. Hannah transformed as a person and chose to follow a healing path. I was fond of how she learned to accept many things that came in her way. What I didn't like was how many times cinnamon rolls and high buns were mentioned. I also got bored of how tedious the story got. Oftentimes, it repeated what happened in that life to the other life. TJK incorporated lots of wisdom within Hannah, which I found nice. Overall, I'm satisfied the story ended happily, but it just wasn't one of my best reads.

I loved this book! Part of it was easily predictable, but a twist at the end caught me totally off guard.
