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.

Just Joe

I hope this heroine finds a good therapist to help her with her trust issues.  
This is for readers who like a happy ending for the end of a story.

Fatal Intrusion

I downloaded the Kindle edition when it was promoted as a First Reads selection on August 5, 2024 because i previously read a different mystery by Jeffery Deaver.  
This is scary and suspenseful.  It opens the way for more books with these characters.  I recommend it.  
I gave it 4 stars.

Wicked

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since September 11, 2015 when I downloaded it from Barnes and Noble.  

I enjoyed trying to imagine what political points of view this author seemed to ascribe to the Munchkins, Gillikins, Quadlings, and others in the 2008s and 2009 when this book was published to what Baum published in 1900.  I read it before the election in 2024.  

I recommend this book for the Afterword essay by the author who explains the difference between fairy tales and fantasy, and why we continue to use our imagination to help us find our own way there and back again.  

I rated it 5 stars.

Sorrento Beach


 This e-book has been in My Digital Library since May 31, 2015.  

The author uses the setting as an additional character, and I felt as if I were on the beach watching the volleyball games in 1977.  The concern Paul Townsend has for his friend is believable.  I recommend this mystery to others.  

I rate it 4 stars.
