When We were Friends

 I downloaded this Kindle selection in October 2024 when it was a Prime First Reads offer.  

I seem to be stingy with my star ratings, and this one was just OK so it gets 2 stars.   

A Place in her Heart

This is my last e-book I downloaded on Oct 18, 2015, that was in My Digital Library.  This story was inspired by the charity Women's Lunch Place.  I enjoyed the story and rated the novella 3 stars.    

  
 

A Wing and A Prayer

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since October 18, 2015.

The story was inspired by the charity Miracle Flights for Kids.  

I gave it 3 stars.  
 

The Second Shot

This Kindle book was a Prime-First Reads selection for September 2024.  

This is a memoir with the message of second chances.  

I gave it 3 stars.   
 

Never Too Late

Yes, this is another Harlequin More Than Words e-book that I had in My Digital Library since October 18, 2015. 

This story was inspired by Beverly's Birthdays, and it is only six chapters long. 

I gave it 3 stars.   

 

The Gift of a Good Start

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since October 18, 2015.  

This was a good story about the start of a local charity organization that was built on a framework of the charity Diller Community Foundation.  

I rated it 4 stars. 
 

Red At Night

This is another e-book from Harlequin that I added to My Digital Library on October 18, 2015.  It must have been part of a special promotion from #Free Friday.  

This e-book highlights the charity, Goodie Two Shoes Foundation (GTSF) that enabled children in need to choose their own shoes from a mobile store that prevents stigmatization. 

 

 

You Are Here

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since October 18, 2015.  

This is a story that I enjoyed and want to recommend to others.  It is about changing a persona to reflect who you want to be in new circumstances; it is about finding supportive friends; and it is about learning to be a supportive family member.  

I rate it 4 stars.  
 

Good Neighbors

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since October 18, 2015.  

Sometimes I have to roll my eyes at the naivete of the heroine when it comes to only asking one bank for a loan instead of seeking competitive financing and when an engaged woman turns over significant property as a gift, and her parents agree it's a good idea.  I rated it 2 stars.  

 

The Gauguin Collection

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since June 12, 2015.  

It is a good mystery, and I recommend it if you can still find it at your local library.  

 

Just Joe

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since October 18, 2015.  

I hope this heroine finds a good therapist to help her with her trust issues.  

This is for readers who like a happy ending for the end of a story.    

 

The New Me

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since October 2, 2015.  

I liked the book so I gave it the three stars. 
 

Light This Candle

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since October 18, 2015,  

This book is based on a true story selected for Harlequin's More Than Words Award.  I found it to be heart-warming and a feel-good story which made it enjoyable to read and recommend.  

It rates 4 stars.  
 

Natural Selection

This Kindle book has been in my Kindle library since August 2024 when it was offered as a Prime First Reads selection.  

It is a short story. 
 

Fatal Intrusion

I downloaded the Kindle edition when it was promoted as a First Reads selection on August 5, 2024 because i previously read a different mystery by Jeffery Deaver.  

This is scary and suspenseful.  It opens the way for more books with these characters.  I recommend it.  

I gave it 4 stars.    
 

Wicked

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since September 11, 2015 when I downloaded it from Barnes and Noble.  

I enjoyed trying to imagine what political points of view this author seemed to ascribe to the Munchkins, Gillikins, Quadlings, and others in the 2008s and 2009 when this book was published to what Baum published in 1900.  I read it before the election in 2024.  

I recommend this book for the Afterword essay by the author who explains the difference between fairy tales and fantasy, and why we continue to use our imagination to help us find our own way there and back again.  

I rated it 5 stars.   
 

Sorrento Beach

 This e-book has been in My Digital Library since May 31, 2015.  

The author uses the setting as an additional character, and I felt as if I were on the beach watching the volleyball games in 1977.  The concern Paul Townsend has for his friend is believable.  I recommend this mystery to others.  

I rate it 4 stars.
