Birding with Benefits
by Sarah T. Dubb
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is S.T. Dubbs debut novel that takes place in Tucson, AZ where the author actually resides. I really wanted to like this book and placed it on hold because I, too, love birding. There was a very simple plot of an avid birder, John Maguire, who enters a birding contest but his partner drops out at the last minute and asks an acquaintance to step in. Enter Celeste who knows nothing about birds. The rest of the book is a basic boy meets girl, and they fall in love with no twists or surprises. John and Celeste are in their 40's and the sex scenes, sexting, etc. were a bit much and not believable, and I am no prude. But it is called Birding with Benefits...!

Not one of my favorites of his. I really didn’t like reading a book within a book in this case (I generally do not mind but I didn’t like it here). I think the plot of this book didn’t really make much sense to me nor did I like the main character. The ending was just too bizarre too.

I fell in love with the characters of this book. I could not put it down and finished it in less than a week. I immediately wanted to start the next book of the series.

My goodness this book took me absolutely forever to finish. So incredibly dense and did not need to be that long. Yet it was gorgeous prose I could let melt on my tongue.

As usual Sally Hepworth wrote a book with twists that I didnt expect. I enjoyed the story being told by Mabel going back and forth from past to present.

Incidents around the house

3.5 stars. A little repetitive in The middle I also don’t know how I expected them to survive this novel, but I was really hoping that it wouldn’t be a dismal ending and I was disappointed. I wanted them to somehow fight back however it felt like a letdown that even though I couldn’t come up with a way for them to live. The author couldn’t either.

The last mandarin

This book was a joint venture between Louise penny and Mellissa Fung. It was okay but definitely had some problems. It was not cohesive and was at times confusing. I would not recommend this book. Louise Penny writes better on her own. I finished it just to finish it but I am still not sure what really went on.

As usual another good read by William Kent Krueger. He takes his characters and makes each story different even though the main characters always come out okay.

I liked reading from Poppy’s point of view more than any of the others. I think this book was way overhyped when it first came out. It wasn’t my favorite.
