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.

The Hunter Bride (Hope's Crossing #1)

 

The Hunter Bride (Hope's Crossing, #1)The Hunter Bride by Cynthia Woolf
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since July 14, 2016.
I liked the beginning of the story, and I became disappointed with the middle and end of the book. Sure, it has a happy ending that was wrapped up too easily.

The Secret of Isobel Key

 

The Secret of Isobel KeyThe Secret of Isobel Key by Jen McConnel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since July 14, 2016. There are dual timelines to tell the story of this book, and I have friends who prefer not to have more than one timeline. The author does a good job of separating them and still tell us a story that is supported by the historical timeline.
I recommend this mystery that requires the protagonist to spend a vacation searching historical records.

In Too Deep

 

In Too Deep: A Reacher Novel (Jack Reacher)In Too Deep: A Reacher Novel by Lee Child


I borrowed from my local library.  
I had difficulty staying interested in the beginning of this book.  Was it because Reacher was not thinking clearly since he could not remember why he was where he was at the beginning and we readers had to rely on Vidic to explain things to Reacher.  As Reacher started thinking more clearly, my interest in the story picked up.  
I gave it three stars because it is not my favorite Reacher novel.

All the Old Lions

I am still decluttering My Digital Library by finishing e-books I downloaded when Barnes and Noble had a free e-book promotion, usually a #FreeFriday.  

I enjoyed this cozy mystery, and it is appropriate for some of my friends who avoid graphic violence.  

I rated it 4 stars.
