The People's Library by Veronica G. Henry
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It was offered as a Prime First Reads in January 2026. My interest fell off about 77% of the way through, and I still pushed through to the end.

At Morning's Light by Lauraine Snelling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book of Snelling's recent series set in Iowa.
I read these books for comforting entertainment: things don't work out, and then they do.

Marigolds and Murder by London Lovett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since Sept. 21, 2018.
I found this cozy mystery entertaining.
I enjoy meeting the characters of Lacey Pinkerton, the other shop owners in Port Danby, and the police detective Briggs. I appreciate cozy novels where the lead character can provide clues without making the detective appear incompetent.

Land of Dreams by Lauraine Snelling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I borrowed this book from my local library on the Hoopla app. It was only available as an audiobook from my library.
I am glad that books by Lauraine Snelling and Kiersti Giron continue telling me stories about the immigrants who settle in Iowa in the 1890s because those stories tell me about what farm life may have been like for my great-grandparents who lived in Ohio (and were not immigrants.)
