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.

V is for Vengeance (Kinsey Millhone, #22)V is for Vengeance by Sue Grafton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was given this book in 2012 because my mother and my aunt read it and they "knew" I would enjoy it.
I did enjoy reading it when I finally started it in 2026. I enjoy mysteries with quirky characters told by the excellent storyteller that Sue Grafton was.

The Art of Spending Money: Simple Choices for a Richer LifeThe Art of Spending Money: Simple Choices for a Richer Life by Morgan Housel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was recommended and summarized in Alex & Books newsletter. It was one of his top 10 favorites in 2025.
I recommend reading it every five or ten years. Yes, the advice/wisdom is not only his. I like this quote of his, "All behavior makes sense with enough information, and we are all on our own quest for the simple life."
I borrowed this book from my local library.

The Body Finder (Body Finder, #1)The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since Aug 4, 2017. It was next in line to be read, and I decided to give this #Young Adult, #Paranormal, #Mystery a chance. I liked it.
While most of the characters are just coping with high school cliques and puberty, Violet has the secret ability to "sense" where murdered bodies lie. She can also sense this taint on the person who kills.
I was entertained by the story and the author's storytelling. My recommendation is, Give it a try.

More Than Nothing (Pine Springs, #1)More Than Nothing by Sophie Hamilton
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I downloaded this Kindle book when it was offered as a Prime First Reads in October 2025.
It really bothered me when the story took the turn of Elenie volunteered to be Confidential Informant as I do not believe enough warning about her risks were involved. I was already annoyed when Frank hit her when she was seen with Roman at the town fair.
I read to the end, and I will not continue this series.
I do not recommend this book.

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since 2017.
I wanted to enjoy the story more but the last 20% of the book disappointed me.
Don't bother reading it.
