Westerly by Susan Donovan Bernhard
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book has been in my Kindle library since May 2, 2026.
If I would not recommend this book to a friend but I found parts of it interesting enough to see where the author wants to finish a story, I cannot give it more than 3 stars. I enjoyed the historical fiction about the Shamrock Project at the beginning but I found myself getting confused between Maeve and Molly in the middle of the book.

Two Paths: America Divided or United by John Kasich
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book has been in my personal library since 2021. It was written in 2017 as a memoir for his attempt to win the Republican nomination for presidential candidate in 2020.
Kasich did not support Trump; he supported the office and suggested problem solving must begin in your local community with local programs that can be shown to work.

This story has a premise that is still current: trauma from violent social media bullying, and yet the author gives hope by telling this one story about a person who takes steps to get back to doing what she loves: teaching at the college level.
I enjoed this story.

Once We Are Safe: A Novel by Alessandra Carati
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I downloaded from Amazon when this was offered free First Reads in March 3, 2026.
The chapters of 6-year old Aida's escape from Bosnia kept me turning pages, and I had difficulty reading the rest of her story. I found this quote to ring true. "This is not a life; it’s just slow, continuous suffering. For him and for us.”

Too Distracting by Bethany Lopez
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since August 16, 2019.
It is a msall-town romance/return home romance for our heroine. It is entertaining; but, it is too graphic for this prude of a reader.

Miss Frost Solves a Cold Case by Kristen Painter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I downloaded this e-book to My Digital Library on Dec 21, 2018.
i was not sure I would like it since its genres are paranormal; fantasy; but it is also a cozy mystery. There is enough magic to make the characters real enough while I read. There is enough Shimmer to make reading fun and entertaining.
