About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

 Through a Glass DarklyThrough a Glass Darkly by Karleen Koen
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

This ebook was free when I downloaded it to my Nook library in 2012. It is historical fiction set in 1715.
I do not recommend it because it never held my interest enough for me to finish this book.

Let It Go: Downsizing Your Way to a Richer, Happier LifeLet It Go: Downsizing Your Way to a Richer, Happier Life by Peter Walsh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I wish this book was written last year so that I could have finished it before our home of 40 years sold and I already had two storage units full of "treasured items and worthy items" waiting to be moved into our downsized home when its construction will be finished before the end of June. Even if I were not ready to part with personal treasures and worthy household items, perhaps I could have been more disciplined in my thinking about labeling boxes for where the items will go instead of labeling them for what room they used to be in.
I recommend this book for any reader who has to make a move, any reader who wants to downsize or streamline the items in their home, and any reader who has to help a relative downsize or settle an estate.
