After being drawn to the bright, beautiful cover and meeting Annabel Monaghan at a bookstore, Summer Romance was the first of her books I’ve read. I loved this one and now I’m ready to read all the rest! A super cute romance about a divorced single parent, this book is more than just a summer romance!

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.

Entertaining read about 1920's small town life.

Very easy read! This is a book about 2 people randomly meeting on New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas. They are both overcoming a breakup.

I really loved this book. It tells of the military training on Cape Cod during WW2.

Thank you to Kathleen Kaufman, Between the Chapters Book Club and Kensington Publishers for an ARC of The Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey. I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I knew I had to read this book based on the title alone. And, yes, Nora Grey is fantastic as a character and so much more. I do want to note how much I enjoyed the author's dedication and author notes - both gave me so much info as well as made me laugh. Nora (originally Nairna) and her father Tavish (always goes by Tavish) are fraudsters. Tavish is charming and could sell anyone anything. Nora is not as much as a fraudster but doesn't understand her psychic gifts. She's so used to living on the streets with her father, eating trashed food and feeling starved most of the time. She also feels guilty about tricking people while reading her grandmother's seer cards for them. Nora is discovered by a woman who sees Nora's psychic gifts and the strength of those gifts. She brings Nora -and Tavish, partly - into her home to help Nora hone her skills. Unfortunately, women with psychic gifts were often considered witches and were frowned upon in society during the time of Nora's lifetime. Nora and her father often clash and I found their relationship one of the most intriguing thoroughout the story. She loves her father but is tired of providing for him then feels guilty for not appreciating the little he does for her. There are many characters that were easy to like/dislike that added to Nora's story. I don't give away spoilers. I will say I loved Nora becoming stronger in her gifts and I really loved how serious she was about being honest. The second half of the book finds Nora and Tavish in a new setting which I loved reading about. I was - I hate to use the word mesmerised - by her readings, the settings, the things doctors would do and the people who helped her. There is a dual POV with Nora and Lottie, Tavish's mother thoroughout the book. I also loved Lottie but felt sad for her with most of her story. Wonderful read for anyone who believes - and doesn't believe - in mesmerists, psychics, etc. I loved the ending as well. from my Goodreads account

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.

A day in the life of six astronauts orbiting the earth.

This book is about a girl who betrayed their family,and all other people who lived in that town treated them badly because of this. Also, how the girl did something to her family that changed this to like everyone treated them kindly and journey of how she overcome her dreams with this, and also how she made her dream come true, and at the same time made her family as the rest of the town people.

A Year of Wonders offers a vivid look at a plague-ridden village through the eyes of a compelling narrator. The historical detail is rich, and the themes of resilience stand out. However, the pacing stumbles in the final chapters, and some plot turns feel overly dramatic. Still, an engaging read for historical
