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.

In All My Wishes ( A Riverbend Novel)

In All My Wishes (Riverbend, #1)In All My Wishes by Ciara Knight
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since July 14, 2016. It is chick lit striving toward HEA. Yet it introduces some mystery about a dead father and an uncommunicative mother that feel unnecessary for this story.

The Scent of Lilacs

The Scent of Lilacs (The Heart of Hollyhill #1)The Scent of Lilacs by Ann H. Gabhart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since July 14, 2016. The time in the novel is 1964 and set in small-town Kentucky. Yes, it is Christian Inspirational Fiction with the father hoping to be permanently hired at a local church. This book reminds me of the movie, Because of Winn-Dixie when Jocie's dog prayer is answered

I highly recommend it.

Surveillance (Ghost Targets#1)

Surveillance  (Ghost Targets, #1)Surveillance by Aaron Pogue
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in My Digital Library since September 15, 2015. It is strange to read ten-year old science fiction and start to check off technology which now seems almost normal, that my location is able to be tracked by my phone, Waze, and my Fitbit. The story is also a police procedural mystery. I recommend this book.

There are four books in the Ghost Targets world.

Black Dog (Ben Cooper and Diane Fry, #1)

Black Dog (Ben Cooper & Diane Fry, #1)Black Dog by Stephen Booth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since 2015 or 2016. For some long-forgotten reason, it was not logged into my goodreads account until last year. I enjoyed this police procedural mystery because I like Booth's ability to tell a story and keep me interested with the characters.
I recommend it.

The Broken Places

The Broken PlacesThe Broken Places by Mia Sheridan
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This Kindle book was downloaded November 2024 when it was offered as a Prime First Reads.
This book moved slowly for me, and I found it difficult to stay interested in it. When the plot picked up, it still did not hold my interest for long.
I do not recommend this book.
