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.

Seabreeze Wedding (Summer Beach #5)Seabreeze Wedding by Jan Moran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It is official. I am binging Summer Beach novels just as easily as if I were binging a Netflix series or chocolate-covered almonds. I just downloaded the next two of the series on my Hoopla app.

Friday the Rabbi Slept LateFriday the Rabbi Slept Late by Harry Kemelman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I recently added this ebook to my Nook library when Barnes & noble offered it during a #freeFriday promotion.
It is a classic, and now it almost reads like historical fiction.
I encourage all readers who enjoy a great who-dun-it.

Miss Buncle's Book (Barbara Buncle #1)Miss Buncle's Book by D.E. Stevenson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I downloaded this ebook to my Nook library on Dec 7, 2013, and I am sorry that it took me so long to read it for I thoroughly enjoyed the characters who lived in Miss Buncle's town of Silverstream and the controversy her novel created.
If you enjoy knowing your neighbors, this novel may be something you enjoy.

Awaken Your Genius: Escape Conformity, Ignite Creativity, and Become ExtraordinaryAwaken Your Genius: Escape Conformity, Ignite Creativity, and Become Extraordinary by Ozan Varol
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I purchased the book on the recommendation from Tiago Forte's newsletter. I guess I have read too many self-help/inspirational books over my reading life to find anything new or original about this book. Sure, he has oodles of footnotes and sources to back-up his statements. Sometimes his statements are worth underlining. Sometimes every generation needs their own interpretation of good advice for continued growth. If you need it, I hope this book helps you.

Love You Right (Love You, Maine #1)Love You Right by Julia Kent
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I downloaded this ebook from Barnes and Noble when it was offered on its #FreeFriday promotion. I enjoyed the book for its characters and the setting in Luview (Love You), Maine. I dropped a star because this old prude cannot recommend it to friends or family. This old prude is beginning to realize that the genre of contemporary romance will make me blush, and I have to skip a chapter.

Seabreeze Christmas (Summer Beach, #4)Seabreeze Christmas by Jan Moran
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in a series, and I continue to read the series; but it has lots of repetition in order to remind readers of the previous 3 books without letting us know how much progress the FBI might be making on the original artworks found in book #1. We did learn how some pieces might belong to the estate as "mislaid" property, and not to current owners when the property was sold as is. New characters were introduced as guests of Seabreeze Inn.
I borrowed this copy from my local library on its Hoopla app.
I hope fans of this series enjoy the book.
