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.

No Apologies and No RegretsNo Apologies and No Regrets by Roddy Wix
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in my Nook library since 2013 when I downloaded it for free from Barnes and Noble.
I took away a star because it needed better editing: too many times the author used loose instead of lose; taught instead of taut; and gentile instead of gentle.

The Art of Inheriting SecretsThe Art of Inheriting Secrets by Barbara O'Neal
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I added this Kindle book to my library when it was offered for free with my Amazon Prime subscription. It gets five stars because it is the first book in a long time that I stayed up too late to finish reading.

Urban Watercolor Sketching: A Guide to Drawing, Painting, and Storytelling in ColorUrban Watercolor Sketching: A Guide to Drawing, Painting, and Storytelling in Color by Felix Scheinberger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I used the information about making my own travel palette with pans filled with paints from the tubes that previous teachers recommended.
Now that I read all the way through once, I am storing it for reference as I do with all the art books I read for I find that my experience has to develop through practice until I have a "light bulb" moment when I understand and can say, so that is what he meant.

A Trick of Light (Stan Lee’s Alliances, #1)A Trick of Light by Stan Lee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Of course, I will accept a free-with-Prime offer to read a book by Stan Lee. Since it is Alliances #1, it is an Origins story.
It is fun to read, especially when I am reading while visiting relatives who live about five blocks from Lake Erie is a small city where Cameron could have lived just down the street.
Excelsior!

Just One of the GuysJust One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in my Nook library since 2013 when I downloaded it for free from Barnes and Noble. This romance was funny and entertaining: a light summer read with a family full of characters. I recommend it to fans of unrequited romance who will sit through a book in hopes of a happy ending.
