Comprehensive Guidebook
My daughter and I went to Spain two years ago. When I was looking for a guide book to take with us, I was disappointed with the options available to us. While there were a few books out there, I couldn't find anything that was new and current. I settled on a DK book that was a couple of years old. This is a new updated...

Great Travel Book!
Costa Rica is a destination that my family has seriously been considering. And now after reading through this guide book, we're even more excited about going there.

Fascinating Read!
I found The Moonshiner's Daughter to be a fascinating read. It's a historical fiction that takes place in 1960, North Carolina. The lead character, Jessie, is wanting to get out of the family business of moonshine. I found the whole story captivating and well written. It's paced well and I was able to read the book in ...

I like to buy cookbooks, but most only have a few recipes that I'm interested in making. This one has lots of appealing recipes. My son, husband and I are following a Keto diet.

Slow Start But Picks Up Speed
I started this and it took a while to get into the story. I'm not sure if it was a busy time for me or not, but it was a slow start. It does pick up speed and once I got into it, I didn't want to stop. The story is about an odd friendship between a young woman and a teenage fortune teller in Atlantic City. There's a se...

Interesting!
While reading the book "Why We Can't Sleep, Women's New Midlife Crisis", I found myself over and over on the pages. Women in my age group were indeed experiencing the same worries and concerns I was. To that degree, I felt more "normal". The author wrote the book so it was easy to read with many women's voices and expe...

Prior to this book, I was unfamiliar with Kelly Rimmer. Now after reading this one, I plan to read some of her other books. I found this to be a poignant story and quite the page turner.

I didn't want to put this book down! It grabbed my attention from the get-go. I finished it in a day. I would classify this as a chick lit book rather than a romance.

Thin Ice is my first book that I have read by Paige Shelton. It's more of a mystery than a thriller in my opinion, but there are some elements that are thriller-ish.

Okay
I thought that this book started strong, but just a couple of chapters in, the pace slowed down and I lost interest. It was really hard to keep reading. I thought it jumped forward too much. It started out and then suddenly it's a year later. Not much later, it jumped ahead 5 more years. Some things that were missed d...

Fast Paced!
This is a fast paced book that I read in one afternoon. The premise was interesting. There's enough medical/scientific info that made it realistic, but not too much that I found it over my head. I also felt that it was timely with the DNA testing kits which are all the rage. It was a little predictable at times, but s...

The Secretary is the first book that I have read by this author. I found it to be engaging and well written. It starts out a little boring, but it has a steady pace.

Not What I Expected
The Last Resort was not at all what I expected. I have been swept up in the psychological thriller genre recently and was expecting something along those lines. This is more of a drama/thriller.
