At Morning's Light by Lauraine Snelling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book of Snelling's recent series set in Iowa.
I read these books for comforting entertainment: things don't work out, and then they do.

Marigolds and Murder by London Lovett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since Sept. 21, 2018.
I found this cozy mystery entertaining.
I enjoy meeting the characters of Lacey Pinkerton, the other shop owners in Port Danby, and the police detective Briggs. I appreciate cozy novels where the lead character can provide clues without making the detective appear incompetent.

Land of Dreams by Lauraine Snelling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I borrowed this book from my local library on the Hoopla app. It was only available as an audiobook from my library.
I am glad that books by Lauraine Snelling and Kiersti Giron continue telling me stories about the immigrants who settle in Iowa in the 1890s because those stories tell me about what farm life may have been like for my great-grandparents who lived in Ohio (and were not immigrants.)

Forgotten Sins by Rebecca Zanetti
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since Oct 26, 2018. This book also has hashtags of Paranormal and Military Fiction beside Romance. It does not get 4 stars from me because its romance gets too much for this prude of a reader. I kept it at 3 stars because the fighting action scenes kept me turning pages.

Forgotten & Remembered: The Duke's Late Wife by Bree Wolf
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since October 5, 2018.
I like historical romances, but this one drug out the story for too long as Graham needed lots of emotional healing. Rosabel may have been patient, but I was not.

Killing Patton: The Strange Death of World War II’s Most Audacious General by Bill O'Reilly
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book has been listed in my Goodreads library since 2015 since my dad wanted me to read it. Dad was a constabulary officer who was on patrol when he came upon the scene of General Patton was going to be loaded in the ambulance. Dad offered to help and was ordered to continue on his patrol.

I give this book only 2 stars because I did not like the format of the book and the distraction of stories of survivors of the Holocaust.
I finished it when I read it on a 5 hour ride home after vacation.

Fan the Flames by Katie Ruggle
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I borrowed this book on Hoopla from my local library after I enjoyed the first book of the series.
I did not enjoy this book as much as I did the first one because I do not find guns and violent characters entertaining.

Shade Me by Jennifer Brown
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since July 2018.
I would have shelved it as a Young Adult book since Nikki Kill was still coping with high school, but this elderly reader does not want to believe high school students smoke, have sex, and have to solve mysteries about brutal attacks.
Nikki's fight scenes go into too much detail to show the author's knowledge of tae kwon do.
