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.

Closure (Jack Randall, #1)Closure by Randall Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in My Digital Library since January 14, 2015.
There are two viewpoints to this story, and the story is driven by the action of two major characters. The story feels believable even though fifteen years have passed since it was written in 2009.

A Town Called ValentineA Town Called Valentine by Emma Cane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I like these characters who have a certain level of maturity about their willingness to be concerned about things and emotions that need repaired. They are willing to talk to each other.

Hypnotized by LoveHypnotized by Love by Sariah Wilson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

In my Kindle library since February 10, 2024. when it was my Prime First Reads choice.
I get annoyed when an author keeps the characters stuck caused by miscommunication and juvenile grudges.
I do not recommend this book but I read others by this author I did recommend.

10 Time Management Choices That Can Change Your Life10 Time Management Choices That Can Change Your Life by Sandra Felton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I borrowed this book on the Hoopla app from my local library.
I borrowed it for its "- tips for managing distractions, interruptions, and time wasters" because I have so/too many creative projects which I want to enjoy and finish.
My favorite quote, " “Creative people have more ideas and interests than any one person can do in a lifetime, and we accumulate the paraphernalia to prove it. (p. 54.)”
― Sandra Felton, 10 Time Management Choices That Can Change Your Life
I recommend this book.

The Rise of Nine (Lorien Legacies #3)The Rise of Nine by Pittacus Lore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I borrowed this book on Hoopla app from my local library.
I think it makes a difference when a series is available to read one after the other than when one jas to wait for the next one to be published.
Even though new characters are introduced, the quest plot is getting old. I will take a break before reading the next ones.

The Cutting EdgeThe Cutting Edge by Ace Collins
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in my Nook library since October 10, 2014.
This book was too preach-y for me. There may be consequences if you do not do what is morally right: just look what happened to this girl.
I do not recommend it. I did finish it.
