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.

Peaches (Peaches, #1)Peaches by Jodi Lynn Anderson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I downloaded this ebook to my Nook library when it was free from Barnes and Noble in 2012. This is a young adult book as the three girls in the book are in high school. It belongs in the coming-of-age genre.
I recommend it to fans of that genre.

Beside Two Rivers (Daughters of the Potomac, #2)Beside Two Rivers by Rita Gerlach
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This ebook was free when I downloaded it to my Nook library from Barnes & Noble. It is the second book of a trilogy, and I do not plan to read the third book.
I usually like historical fiction; but, I found myself questioning some assumptions about how fast and how far these characters would travel to bring doctor or a vicar to aid the main characters. I also felt irritated at the melodrama of this author's style.
I recommend it only to fans of Rita Gerlach.

The Bootlegger (Isaac Bell, #7)The Bootlegger by Clive Cussler


This book has been in my home library as part of our Clive Cussler/Isaac Bell collection. I'm making progress to be current with the goal of reading what we have before buying a newly released one.
I am entertained when I read these books, and that is why I give these books more stars than other historical fiction books.
I recommend this to fans of Isaac Bell, Clive Cussler, and Justin Scott.
