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 e-book has been in My Digital Library since August 30, 2019.
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.

Procrastinators Get Stuff Done: How to Go from Overwhelmed to Finished by Dana K. White
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I pre-ordered the book, and I started with the bonuses available for pre-ordering. I have been using her five decluttering steps to work on large projects, and I came to the point where so much now is Maintenance and Consolidation. This book helps me understand how I can move forward better because she clarified the difference between Projects that have a finish and Maintenance which needs premade decisions to keep up with current tasks.
I began a shared project of scanning photos of ancestors and elder relatives in 2009 to be able to share. That project was completed to external hard drives and a website I used to share with family members, and that website went out of business. After I moved 9 years ago, that project morphed into scanning photos that had been framed but no longer fit on walls in the new house and photos that I had not put into albums. Both of those are finished and stored on external hard drives and clouds.
I have been scanning albums of photos taken with film in my personal collection because I need to consolidate from albums into space available on external hard drives or the cloud, and this is a PROJECT. While MAINTENANCE is needed to curate photos I take digitally and receive from texts.
I am often discouraged when technology changes, when websites for sharing close, and this book helps me know how to restart and pick back up to move forward.
I will re-read it, and I recommend it.
