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.

One Second AfterOne Second After by William R. Forstchen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was recommended to me because I read "Lights Out" by Ted Koppel.
This was page-turning and scary, especially with North Korea testing its ICBMs this week. The title comes from the quote by Captain Bill Sanders, "One second after an EMP attack, it will be too late to ask two simple questions: what should we have done to prevent the attack and why didn't we do it?"
I recommend the book to all adult readers.

Redemption RoadRedemption Road by John Hart
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This was a selection for a book club, and I borrowed it from a library.
I doubt I would have chosen this book for my personal entertainment because I prefer not to chose books with storylines that put women or children in jeopardy, and this book does this a lot.
I do not recommend this book. I look forward to the discussion about the book.

In This Grave Hour (Maisie Dobbs, #13)In This Grave Hour by Jacqueline Winspear
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I bought this book as soon as it came out because I knew other family members would want to read it too because they enjoy the Maisie Dobbs series too.
I recommend it to all fans of the series, and it can be read as a stand-alone for readers new to the series.

Waterfall (River of Time, #1)Waterfall by Lisa Tawn Bergren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was free when I downloaded it to my Nook library from Barnes and Noble. I previously read another free book by this author and enjoyed it so I put the rest of the free ebooks by this author closer together on my to-read list.
I recommend it for readers who enjoy books in this genre: a YA with heroines who are 17 and 15 years old with a storyline based on time-traveling.
