Fight Or Flight
by Fern Michaels
View in Library Catalog
book cover


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.

I loved it because I love when books have the main character have a disability.

This book is incredible! It’s about a girl named Morgan who just wants to get through high school and escape her whole life on the island where she lives. But Morgan has a lot of secrets, including the fact that she’s gay. One night, she is saved from drowning by a strange girl named Keltie, and they start to fall in love. But Keltie has secrets too… this book is really sweet and I’d recommend this book to anyone!

A Murder Most French
by Colleen Cambridge
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I have very recently read books one and three in Ms. Cambridge's An American in Paris mystery series and loved both. I especially love how the history and culture of Paris is so detailed in her books. Tabitha and Julia are the best pair of friends. Julia is teaching Tabitha how to cook and Tabitha helps Julia with her French. The two of them made me laugh thoroughout this book as well as the other two books. Tabitha has again decided to help with local murders when she witnesses them. I don't want to give anything away so won't list who is murdered. I especially enjoy how much she annoys the Inspector with her helpfulness in solving crimes, bringing clues to him, etc. An American in Paris Mystery series was fun to read as someone who loves mysteries and cozies. I also very much enjoyed learning more about the Paris catacombs, about how important wine was during the war and in Paris culture, all of the numerous cats that are in Paris and the Coke concern. (from my Goodreads review)

The Women
by Kristin Hannah

book cover


Powerful. There isn't really another word for this book. There were no women In Vietnam was repeated so many times in this book and each time it got me angrier and angrier. The things these nurses and Doctors saw were just as horrific as what I can only imagine the soldiers saw. The story was beautifully written and hauntingly sad. RYE.. u dirty dirty turd... No. unacceptable. The friendships between the three woman was beautiful. The family Dynamic was tough to read. How her dad just couldn't accept that she was a hero and she was a veteran. Who SERVED PROUDLY . Just was crazy. How women were and to this day are treated as less than. Boggles the mind.

This book is kind of ridiculous and dumb, but that’s exactly why I like it. It was a little simple, but nice.

This book was not my thing. There wasn’t a lot going on, it wasn’t very long, and it just wasn’t something I enjoyed.
