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.

Elderhood: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, Reimagining LifeElderhood: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, Reimagining Life by Louise Aronson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I had to renew this library book twice because I kept getting angry during the stories enough to put it down and do something else until i might calmly read for information.

The Art of Public SpeakingThe Art of Public Speaking by Dale Carnegie
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

There is plenty of valuable information in this classic. Many of the speeches in the appendix for study are outdated and no longer appropriate due to their content if taken out of their historical context.

The Love List (Hilton Head Island, #1)The Love List by Elana Johnson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I downloaded it for free when Barnes and Noble offered it for free in 2023.
I found it entertaining, and still the characters were believable to me.I recommend it for fans of books about friendships of a group of women.

The King's Seal (The Magicians of Venice #3)The King's Seal by Amy Kuivalainen
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I enjoyed the first two of the series so much that I purchased this one because my library did not have it in their collection.
This time the author did not seem to have the enthusiasm for these characters as she did in the previous books. There were good parts like meeting Poseidon and Constantine. It just felt more disjointed than the previous novels.

All Mine (Nicky Lyons #1)All Mine by Blake Pierce
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I downloaded it for free from Barnes and Noble as part of their #Free Friday promotion on April 2023. In the Prologue's third sentence, Nicky has her gun in her hand, and a paragraph later she has to draw her gun. Sloppy work.
