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 Way HomeThe Way Home by George P. Pelecanos
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This hardcover was given as a "you gotta read this" in 2014, and I finally did. This is so much more about the story for the writer provides the mood, the setting, and the people who inhabit the world he describes.
There is one sentence that made me put the book down, and say, "wow."
"If the storytellers told it true, all stories would end in death."

Secrets & Chance: A Romantic Suspense Novel of Family Secrets and Forbidden Attraction (The Sterlings Family Saga Book 1)Secrets & Chance: A Romantic Suspense Novel of Family Secrets and Forbidden Attraction by Z.L. Arkadie
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This e-book was in My Digital Library since October 21, 2017. I dropped a star to 2 because the story was more like a prequel because it introduced characters but there was no resolution to the mystery.
I do not recommend this unless you are willing to buy the 4 books of the series.

American Lease - Dylan Cold Book 1American Lease - Dylan Cold Book 1 by K.D. McAdams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since 2017. I am glad I read it now because the artifact causing all the trouble in Dylan Cold's life during this book must be found by the right people before the year in which I am currently reading.
2026 might be the right time to again promote this book since there is plenty of promotion to celebrate America's 250th anniversary.
I enjoyed the characters of Dylan, his landlord and her son, Abbey the local farmgirl, and Montana the dog.
It is a fun read I can recommend.

City Love (City Love, #1)City Love by Susane Colasanti
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I downloaded this free e-book in February 2018, and it has been in My Digital Library.
It is a romance for teenage girls who like to imagine life after high school when things have to get better. It is the first of a trilogy, and I do not need to read more than this first one to know I am not her target market.

It is an entertaining read.
