Dispatches from Pluto: Lost and Found in the Mississippi Delta by Richard Grant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I traveled on the Viking Mississippi on one of its stops, this book was recommended by a tour guide in a quiet voice that acknowledged me as someone who might be interested in hearing more about Greenville and why all passengers were being entertained by Steve Azur and Delta hospitality. This book was written 8 years before my visit, and I am sure I missed understanding a lot of implied connections even if I was interested in the "real stories." I purchased the book in Oxford at Squarebooks.
I highly recommend this non-fiction narrative.

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since July 2017.
I enjoyed the mystery the true-crime writer was researching and the mystery that was revealed at the end of this boook. There are two more stories to this trilogy.

Buckeye by Patrick Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I borrowed this one from my public library and read it on my Kindle using the Libby app.
This story reminded me of Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson and then it reminded me of gossip I heard in the village where Sherwood Anderson was born.
I highly recommend this book.

Next To Disappear by Malcolm Richards
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since June 2017.
I am not easily entertained by thriller and suspense-filled novels. I was not comfortable with the idea of a Hospice facility and a psychiatric hospital being used for criminal activity or unauthorized experimentation so I did not enjoy this book.

Northland: A 4,000-Mile Journey Along America's Forgotten Border by Porter Fox
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I purchased this book from the Friends of my local library book sale earlier this year, and I started reading it at the end of October. It was the middle of the book that slowed my reading down. The tone of the book changed the more he stayed on land and wrote the section about Seven Fires. I hoped the tone might improve as we came to the Columbia River but it seemed he was in a hurry to finish and still he circled. I recommend this book for travelers on the Great Lakes and St, Lawrence Seaway.

Going Home (Nugget #1)

 

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since September 8, 2017.  I downloaded it when it was offered for free as a promotional #Free Friday selection.  

I like the stories of Maddy and Rhys, and the people close to them in the town of Nugget.  What I forget is that the label of contemporary romance will indicate more details than I want to read and I am uncomfortable recommending to my friends, and that is why I take a star away from my review.
