Meant to Be by Emily Giffin My rating: 3 of 5 stars I had a hard time relating to the characters and the "retelling" of the JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette story. This was an okay story but just not for me. View all my reviews
The Book Woman's Daughter by Kim Michele Richardson My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is a wonderful sequel to The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek. I didn't realize how much I missed Cussy Mary and the people of Troublesome Creek. Although this book can be read as a stand alone, I felt completely at home with Honey and her situation from the beginning. View all my reviews
I'll Be You by Janelle Brown My rating: 3 of 5 stars Twin stories are often of interest to me and this was no exception. Lots of psychological manipulation and dysfunction going on through out the book. The story itself was not really a thriller but an interesting story with a predictable end. View all my reviews

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus My rating: 5 of 5 stars This one had me hooked from the very beginning. Quirky characters, dogs that have a vocabulary of 900+ words, aa precocious child and misogyny. This one is well worth the read. View all my reviews
A Tree a Day by Amy-Jane Beer My rating: 4 of 5 stars As a self proclaimed tree hugger, this book was a delight. This book has highlighted some of the most beautiful and unique trees throughout history. Really enjoyed the history, art and lore provided. View all my reviews
The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka My rating: 5 of 5 stars Oh that crack! So much symbolism in the crack in the pool and the "crack" in Alice's brain. This is a beautifully told story of a mother- daughter relationship as well as the heart break of dementia. View all my reviews
