Entertaining read about 1920's small town life.

This is an amazing sequel to Growing Pangs which follows Katie through the tough path of growing up. Katie has started learning to manage her OCD and is going to try out for the musical Annie. Then, she realizes she has a crush on a girl. But her church is filled with people who say that being gay or bisexual is bad and a sin. They also say that girls are meant to simply help the men. Katie has to push through and learn that they can’t tell her who she can’t be and that she has to shine as her own person. This is an amazing book and I would recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful book on natural home, beautiful photos, and well designed.

This book takes place in the near future where Muslim Americans are being forced into internment camps by order of the president. Layla, a 17 year old Muslim American is forced from her home into an internment camp. But Layla won’t stay quiet. She organizes protests with help from her friends, and with help from her boyfriend David, shows the world outside the camp what it’s like being forced to live in the internment camp.

A dense and beautifully written true crime/look into Italian police work. It felt grounded in the culture.

Recommended to me by my 16 yr old granddaughter. Not the type of book I usually read but it was a very good story

I don't give away any spoilers in my reviews. I have read many of Fern Michaels' books - especially The Sisterhood and the Men of the Sisterhood series. I enjoy her thorough character writing and love feeling like I have a complete picture of her characters. At first, I though the Katherine Winston character in Fight or Flight was the same Kathryn Winston in Sisterhood. However, it's not listed under the Sisterhood list of books so I'm honestly not sure. Either way, I loved both of the characters. Katherine - who is called K by her friend Doc, is an agoraphobe who lives alone with her two German Shepherds, Sam and Sophie. She lives in a large mansion and has not set foot outside in seven years. K is also K.C. Winston, the YA author of a series called Girls With Unusual Powers. She does have a secret online persona so she can monitor fans on her page. K has led a habitual life for many years and is forced to break that habit and face her panic attacks from agoraphobia. Doc helps her but I don't want to share any spoilers. Suffice it to say, it's a great, heart-pounding at times read. K feels she's being watched and things escalate from there. Thoroughout reading this, I kept thinking, if this is a different Katherine (which I think it is), please please please let this be a new series. From the perfect, heart stopping ending, I think it just may be. I loved seeing K overcome her fears and also loved her interactions with her dogs. Great read from one of my favorite authors. (from my Goodreads review)

New Heights picks up right where the first book left off and shows Arthur training hard to become stronger in a world full of magic and danger. The action scenes are awesome, and we get to see Arthur level up his powers in some really cool ways. What I liked most is that the book isn’t just about fighting—it also shows Arthur trying to protect his family and figure out who he wants to be. Even though he has crazy powers, he still struggles with things like responsibility and growing up. New Heights is a great read. I liked it even more than the first book.

A fun conclusion to The Maid series. I enjoy this character and will miss her view of the world!
