One Year Home by Marie Force
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Barnes and Noble recommended this book to be read after their Oct 2019 Serial Reads, 5 Years Gone, and I found it at my local library. I just had to know what happened next to John, Ava, and Eric.
It is a quick read. The sex scenes are too graphic for this prude so just skip over them.
I recommend this for fans of Marie Force.

Game of Hearts by Kate Donovan
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in my Nook library since I downloaded it in 2012 when Barnes and Noble offered it for free. It is in a genre of a romance that I often enjoy. It lost a star because the heroine was stubborn when she did not know what the facts were and that made her judgmental. A little bit of that can make this reader not care about the outcome of the story because the reader knows the outcome will be what the heroine wants to believe.

Five Years Gone by Marie Force
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This ebook was the Serial Read from Barnes and Noble during October 2019.
I recommend this to readers who enjoy character development with people who have problems that may not have been explored in other books.

Daughter of Twin Oaks by Lauraine Snelling
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was able to read it for free with my subscription to Amazon Prime.
I wanted to read it to assess the level of violence in it before recommending it to my 92-year old father who expressed an aversion to books with killing in it. This is is favorite author so I may ask how he feels about books where the wounded are treated and the dead are buried.
I take 1 star away because this book ends with "WAIT, THERE'S MORE-style ending" and this is just the beginning of a trilogy. If Dad decides he wants to read this Civil War era book, he will want all 3 in the series.

Fatal Affair by Marie Force
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in my Nook library when I downloaded it for free from Barnes and Noble in 2012. It is a good suspense mystery. The author wraps up this case so it can be recommended as a stand-alone or it may be a good place to start this 15-book series.
I took away a star because this prude only scan the sex scenes until the story moved on. For this reason, I do not want to recommend it to many of my friends.

The Ivy by Lauren Kunze
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in my Nook library since 2012 when I downloaded it for free from Barnes and Noble. This ebook was entertaining as we meet 4 roommates in their freshman year at Harvard and guys. This book is just their origin story and it is not a stand-alone novel. This ebook ends before Thanksgiving break.

Depth of Winter by Craig Johnson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I realized I better this one read before Land of Wolves is ready to pick up at my library. I have been reluctant to read this one because I dislike books where some character I care about is in jeopardy the way that Cady is, and I did not like the way the #13 hurt so many of the recurring characters.
This book is not a stand-alone book nor should it be the first one you read in this series.

Tear It Down by Nick Petrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I went immediately into the fourth book after reading the third Peter Ash book because I wanted Peter to heal enough from his PTSD enough to make a life with June. He is doing better but he can still get involved when other people need his protection.

Half Finished by Lauraine Snelling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read the book after my father was finished with this latest Snelling book.
Sometimes when Snelling gives as much detail to the chores and tasks that modern women do that she does to the chores and tasks of historical women, I can get a bit eager to get on with the story because I am as busy as these characters are. I know that I never would be as good a friend to Ginny as Amalia is.
I may not have unfinished craft projects; but, I do have many books on my to-read shelf and my currently-reading shelf. Thank you, Goodreads for giving me a place celebrate books finished and to hold myself accountable for books already in my home library, for those I borrow from town library, for those I download when they are free, and for the purchases I make.

The Bullet Journal Method: Track the Past, Order the Present, Design the Future by Ryder Carroll
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I started reading this book and watching YouTube videos about BuJos, I had my Evernote, Dropbox, OneNote, OneDrive, Google Calendar, family calendar, Tools4Wisdom planner, my daily journal, and 6 journals for 6 projects on which I was not making much progress. The biggest help I immediately used was making indexes for those project journals and learning to thread topics in the indexes. Another big help was migrating tasks and discarding irrelevant ones!
I look forward to seeing my progress in the next 3 months before 2020.
