Identity Clutter: The Whats, Whys, and Hows of Every Angle of Decluttering by Dana K. White
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I borrowed this from my local library on the Hoopla app.
This Cluttering Deep Dive was what I needed to hear because I still have so much clutter in these categories of "Things I was Going to To Do When I Retired," "Things I Collected When Buying Art Supplies From Amazon Was My Hobby Doing the Pandemic," "Things I Need to Document for my Genealogy Hobby", and Identities Other People Try to Give Me."
The information helps me make Progress, and Progress is Better.

Decluttering at the Speed of Life: Winning Your Never-Ending Battle with Stuff by Dana K. White
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book has helped me. Chapter 16 about Craft Supplies and Chapter 25 about Decluttering Dreams had the most impact on me.
When we downsized 7 years ago, there were too many things I could not declutter because: I had plans for BIG PROJECTS; I had plans I made when my job was stressful and/or boring for things to do when I retired: and I inherited plans that other people made for me because they were unable to do those things themselves.
I understand why this 5 step-process works for me, and I am willing to continue using it.

In Harm's Way by Ridley Pearson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was given this book many years ago and finally decided to read it. This book was the 4th in the series, and it can be read as a stand-alone.
The reason I give it three stars is the story did not keep pulling me along. There were too many side storiesthat seemed to give equal weight to the mystery of a murder.

Running Home by Bill Sanderson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

The writing of this story was uneven; there were times I almost stopped reading it because the same information had been repeated too often. I kept reading to see if it ended the way I predicted.

Beyond the Storm by Carolyn Zane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This ebook was in My Digital Library on my Nook, and it was not on my Goodreads Want to Read list so I am unsure of the date I downloaded it.
I enjoyed this story of healing and the characters the author wrote about. This book reminded me of the televised series about the rebuilding of Greensburg, Kansas.
There are discussion questions at the end of the book. This makes it easy to recommend to book clubs, especially Christian book clubs.

Hiding the Past by Nathan Dylan Goodwin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I downloaded this Kindle book as part of a promotion by the author in July 2023. I heard about Goodwin's books because my hobby is genealogy.
I enjoyed the mystery. I am reluctant to recommend this book to readers who are not genealogists.
I no longer continue reading series when I do not care what happens to the lead character and the characters who surround him.

The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness by Robert Waldinger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was the topic of discussion fora club in my neighborhood for several weeks. I did not participate because I had a schedule conflict. I picked up the book when a neighbor was finished with the discussion and the book.
I find myself wondering who else might benefit from reading this book and reflecting on the questions.

Love at First Sight by Lori Wilde
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in my Nook library since August 8, 2014.
It is an entertaining story. Small town romances tend to introduce too many characters when that are unnecessary for this book, but may be part of other books in a series. The book was described as a sexy romance. I can only give it three stars because I am unwilling to recommend it to others who may not want to read a book that is as detailed about the bedroom scene as this one was.

Making Room at Christmas: A Charlotte Diamond Mysteries Special by Olivia Stowe
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This ebook was just an introduction of characters as if the author were writing program notes about the characters.

Secrets of a Summer Night by Kay Stockham
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a novella that I found in My Digital Library with Barnes and Noble that I had not put on my Want To Read shelf at Goodreads. I read it now in an attempt to finish more books in the chronological order I downloaded them.
This is a prologue to series. The characters seem interesting but I am not looking for another series to start.

Claudine's New Adventure by Nicole Murphy
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in My Digital Library with Barnes and Noble for a long time, and yet it was not on my Goodreads shelves. I read it quickly and enjoyed the characters. Being a fuddy-duddy, I have difficulty recommending it to other readers.

Angel Be Good by Kathy Carmichael
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This is an ebook I downloaded years ago to My Digital Library from Barnes and Noble. It is one of many books that were not on my Want To Read shelf at Goodreads. I am moving them to Currently Reading 4 books at a time until My Digital Library and Goodreads Want To Read are in sync.
This book was easy to quickly skip through.
