Singing Bird

This ebook has been in My Digital Library since July 26, 2015.  This was an interesting mystery without a murder!  I can recommend to friends.  
 

Imaginary Things

This ebook has been in My Digital Library since April 17, 2015.  

I am glad I did not let the tag of magical realism keep me from reading this book because I liked the characters enough to recommend this book to a friend.  The characters became very real in my own imagination, even David's imaginary friends King Rex and Weeple. 

I rated this book 4 stars, one I would recommend to a friend. 
 

The Rose Arbor

I finished it in one day because I had to know what happened next.  

I rate it five stars.  

Just when I commit to focus on the project of reading the books in My Digital Library from Barnes & Noble, my local library reminds me a book I requested and was on hold, is now available.   

The Death Factory

 

This ebook has been in My Digital Library since April 10, 2015.  It is a novella to fill in back story before the release of Natchez Burning.  

I found it to be well-written and interesting.  I decided to continue my project of reading books I already own in My Digital Library instead of checking for Natchez Burning.

I gave it 3 stars.

Vacuuming in the Nude and Other Ways to Get Attention

I was unaware of this book until I watched a YouTube video from her celebrity son Mike Rowe and his promotion of her upcoming book. I looked for her previous books at the library, and this one was available through the Libby app.  

I would classify her stories as "slice of life." 

The book was entertaining and easy to recommend to friends of mine. 
 

In Cold Blood

This ebook has been in My Digital Library since May 27, 2015.  

It was OK, but to read it 10 years after it was written makes some details seem dated.  

There was no need for me to search for the next book in the series.  
 

The Inn at Rose Harbor

This ebook has been in My Digital Library since July 11, 2015.  

It is entertaining.  It is the first book in a series, and I had no need to look for the next book in the series.  I have so many books in my digital library, and the 2024 reading goal is to have fewer than 458 books on my Goodreads Want To Read shelf.  
 

Montana Creeds: Tyler

 I used my Libby app to download from my local library.  

This winds up the story of three half-brothers who will work together on a cattle ranch now that they each marry the woman of their dreams.  

Two stars out of five.  

Montana Creeds: Dylan

 This author put a whole lot of story between where Logan ends and the book, Tyler starts.  I felt disappointed I had to read this book before I knew the next scene at the end of Logan.  Again, the sex scenes were too graphic for this prude so pages were swiped.  

I borrowed this book on the Libby app from my local library.  

 

Logan: Montana Creeds #1

 I downloaded this ebook to My Digital Library on August 23, 2024 when Barnes and Noble offered it as the "Free Friday" promotion.  It was easy to open on my Nook while I was on a road trip during Labor Day weekend.  

I enjoyed the story of a man trying to change the reputation of his family by being a better man, and the story of a single mom trying to do the best she can for her sons.  I am reluctant to recommend it to others because this prude thought the sex scenes were too graphic.  The last scene had me quickly looking for Tyler's book.  

 

I rate it 3 stars out of 5.
