House 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 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.

Making Home Your Happy Place

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I pre-ordered the Kindle edition when I heard about it during Katy Wells' podcast, The Maximized Minimalist. I like the Kindle edition because I use make notes and can easily find them in the Notebook feature at the top of the screen. 

 I have been decluttering the sentimental and the incomplete projects I moved into my new home in 2017. The chapters on sentimental clutter and identity clutter have been most useful to me.

I recommend this book to anyone who may feel overwhelmed by a space in your home.
