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.

The Amateur MarriageThe Amateur Marriage by Anne Tyler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is one of those books that I must apologize to for having kept on my to-be-read shelf for too long.
A favorite quote is "Lots of things are unacceptable. That doesn't mean they don't happen."
This is a time capsule of a family from 1941 until the 60th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. It captures a time capsule for the generation of my parents.

Bishop to QueenBishop to Queen by Lexy Wolfe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed the first ebook in the series, Ravenhawk, which Barnes and Noble offered as a Serial Reads during August 2021, and I even purchased this sequel.
I enjoyed the themes explored in these two books as humanity and synths struggle to survive life with power based largely in corporations and government.

A Life Without Flowers (A Life Without, #2)A Life Without Flowers by Marci Bolden
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was available as an audiobook from Hoopla and my local library. I no longer prefer audiobooks as I no longer commute. I was eager to continue the story of Carol/Carorline and her relationship with her mother Judith and the buffer of her aunt on a RV road trip; but, I got bored of the format of the story with the flashbacks of Carol's memories before the end of the book.
