November 26, 2023November 21, 2023 michele

If you are looking for a cozy Whodunit mystery this is for you! This wasn't really a thriller, but more of a nice, comfortable ride to find out who the bad guy was with your family members who you love, but don't always like. In the heartwarming tale of "Mother-Daughter Murder Night," we're introduced to… Continue reading Mother -Daughter Murder Night by Nina Simon

The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese

October 11, 2023October 10, 2023 michele

The Covenant of Water is a door stopper that I wasn't sure was worth my time. I switched from print to audio to finish this one. The writing style is very lyrical and it is very slow moving but the characters are impressive. This book starts with an interesting premise. That someone in each generation… Continue reading The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese

Us Against You by Fredrik Backman

August 23, 2023August 21, 2023 michele

This is the follow-up to Beartown. I would suggest reading Beartown FIRST if you haven't read that before reading this one. This is about how a town can make hockey it's lifeblood. I felt like I could almost be living in this town. The excitement and tense feelings just jump right off the page. Have… Continue reading Us Against You by Fredrik Backman

The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise by Colleen Oakley

June 12, 2023June 11, 2023 michele

This was such a good humoured book and just what I needed right now. This has characters you can get to know and love. It is light and funny. The pacing is pretty quick. We read this for book club, so I hope most people like this one. This one starts out with 84 year… Continue reading The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise by Colleen Oakley

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover

June 6, 2023June 5, 2023 melanie

“Relationships are hard for that very reason. Your body and your heart don’t stop finding the beauty and the attraction in other people simply because you’ve made a commitment to one person. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you’re drawn to someone else, it’s up to you to remove yourself from that… Continue reading Regretting You by Colleen Hoover

The Celebrants by Steven Rowley

June 3, 2023June 2, 2023 michele

This was a very character driven story with a lot of heart. The characters in this one are so real and so complicated that I wanted to get to know them better. The group of 6 in The Celebrants become close friends in college after switching colleges and being the newbies, but not freshman. Alec,… Continue reading The Celebrants by Steven Rowley

The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff

April 11, 2023April 6, 2023 michele

This was a humorous story, although it used dark humor, that covered abuse, gender, caste, religion, patriarchy, sisterhood, and resilience. I love a book with a satisfying ending, and this didn't disappoint. The premise of this one had me hooked right away. This is set in India. Geeta's husband (Ramesh) left her 5 years ago… Continue reading The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff
