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.

Stuck? Diagrams Help.Stuck? Diagrams Help. by Abby Covert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This has been in my Kindle Library since January 11, 2026.
I purchased it to use for additional information while I participated in Verbal to Visual's Core Curriculum. This book with its Indexed Lexicon and Index of Exercises, Quizzes & Checklists made it a valuable reference resource for me.
I recommend this book and I recommend the YouTube channel Verbal to Visual.

House RulesHouse Rules by Jodi Picoult
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A friend gave me this book in 2012 with the phrase, "I'm not sure if you will like this, but it is a mystery." With a recommendation like that, I waited until 2026 to read it.
I really liked that a book told in multiple viewpoints has the chapter's headline tells the reader whose viewpoint and also the fonts are different to continue the distinction.
The mystery was good.

Meant for HerMeant for Her by Amy Gamet
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This e-book was in My Digital Library since December 8, 2017.
I enjoy books in the romantic-suspense genre, and for most of this book I enjoyed it. My opinion is the last two chapters needed better editing, and it felt as if the author was rushed to wrap things up. I dropped a star because that is what I do when authors use villains explain why this story makes sense.

The Circle Gathers

 <


My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since December 3, 2017. The story combines Arthurian legend with urban fantasy. 

It is well written. I am no longer interested in seeking out the remaining books of this 10-book series because my preferences have changed, and that is why it only gets 3 stars.
