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.

Hiding the Past (The Forensic Genealogist #1)Hiding the Past by Nathan Dylan Goodwin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I downloaded this Kindle book as part of a promotion by the author in July 2023. I heard about Goodwin's books because my hobby is genealogy.
I enjoyed the mystery. I am reluctant to recommend this book to readers who are not genealogists.
I no longer continue reading series when I do not care what happens to the lead character and the characters who surround him.

The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of HappinessThe Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness by Robert Waldinger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was the topic of discussion fora club in my neighborhood for several weeks. I did not participate because I had a schedule conflict. I picked up the book when a neighbor was finished with the discussion and the book.
I find myself wondering who else might benefit from reading this book and reflecting on the questions.

Love at First Sight (Cupid, Texas #1)Love at First Sight by Lori Wilde
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in my Nook library since August 8, 2014.
It is an entertaining story. Small town romances tend to introduce too many characters when that are unnecessary for this book, but may be part of other books in a series. The book was described as a sexy romance. I can only give it three stars because I am unwilling to recommend it to others who may not want to read a book that is as detailed about the bedroom scene as this one was.

Secrets of a Summer Night (Stone Gap Mountain #0.5)Secrets of a Summer Night by Kay Stockham
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a novella that I found in My Digital Library with Barnes and Noble that I had not put on my Want To Read shelf at Goodreads. I read it now in an attempt to finish more books in the chronological order I downloaded them.
This is a prologue to series. The characters seem interesting but I am not looking for another series to start.

Claudine's New AdventureClaudine's New Adventure by Nicole Murphy
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in My Digital Library with Barnes and Noble for a long time, and yet it was not on my Goodreads shelves. I read it quickly and enjoyed the characters. Being a fuddy-duddy, I have difficulty recommending it to other readers.

Angel Be GoodAngel Be Good by Kathy Carmichael
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This is an ebook I downloaded years ago to My Digital Library from Barnes and Noble. It is one of many books that were not on my Want To Read shelf at Goodreads. I am moving them to Currently Reading 4 books at a time until My Digital Library and Goodreads Want To Read are in sync.
This book was easy to quickly skip through.
