A Stardance Summer | Emily March

pick

Returning to Eternity Springs makes me happy. I absolutely adore this series. Complex, imperfect, REAL characters and gorgeous settings.

I love the magical worlds of Harry Potter & Keeper of the Lost Cities. Eternity Springs is magical in a different but equally wonderful way.

Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania | Erik Larson

pick

4.5 ⭐

Erik Larson writes well researched books. When I read a book that he has written I know that I am going to get well researched, well written book that will transport me to whatever the year or years the book includes. I can vividly see myself there.

Lisa Scottoline is a favorite author of mine and this book did not disappoint.
Family dynamics, secrets, sibling relationships & trust issues all help take you on a journey that is infuriating and satisfying at the same time.

Bait and Switch: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream | Barbara Ehrenreich

pick

Having read this so shortly after Our Kids: The America Dream in Crisis was a #Powerful combination. If you aren't screwed by the opportunity gap in childhood, you're pretty likely to be screwed by the bottom-line mentality of the corporate world.

The Lady with the Dark Hair: A Novel | Erin Bartels

pick

#TheLadyWithTheDarkHair #ErinBartels #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2024

Esther Markstrom and her artist mother have always been proud of their ancestor, painter Francisco Vella. They even run a small museum and gallery dedicated to raising awareness of his scandalously underappreciated work.

DieAReader, Andrew65, TheSpineView, TheAromaofBooks

EadieB But when Esther reconnects with her former art history professor, she finds her once-solid family history on shaky ground as questions arise about Vella's greatest work--a portrait entitled The Lady with the Dark Hair .
In 1879, Catalan orphan-turned-fugitive Viviana Torrens has found sanctuary serving in the home of an aging artist in Southern France. 23h

EadieB It is in his studio that she meets Francisco Vella, a Gibraltarian merchant who sells artists' pigments. When her past catches up to her, she is compelled to pose as Vella's sister and join him on his travels or be deported back to Spain to stand trial. Along the way she will discover that the many parts she has been playing in order to hide her identity have far-reaching implications she never could have foreseen. 23h

EadieB
This dual-timeline story from award-winning author Erin Bartels takes readers from the sleepy Midwest to the sultry Mediterranean on a relentless search for truth, identity, and the freedom to follow one's dreams.
I have read every book that Erin Bartels has written and have found them all different but very well written. 23h

EadieB . This one is about painters and art about The Lady with the Dark Hair. This is a dual timeline-story that takes us to the Mediterranean. I found this book very interesting as I had no idea that Erin was an artist. I find her very intriguing and do look forward to what comes next from her. If you like art and painting I‘m sure you would love this book. 23h

EadieB Pick it up and read it as you will be surprised as I was that the book is actually well worth the read!

Clive Cussler's Hellburner | Mike Maden

so-so

#Hellburner #MikeMaden #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2024

When Juan Cabrillo fails to capture the leader of Mexico‘s most dangerous drug cartel and loses an Oregon crew member in the process, he‘s determined to get revenge. Little does he know that the explosion he just narrowly escaped was merely the latest flash of violence from a machine of war that has existed for decades, dating from the bloodiest episode in Armenia‘s history.

DieAReader, Andrew65, TheSpineView, TheAromaofBooks

EadieB Cabrillo‘s Corporation of mercenaries may have finally met its match in The Pipeline—a criminal syndicate passed down from father to son across generations. A group that sits with its finger on the trigger of a torpedo so deadly it could level entire cities. With millions of innocent civilians hanging in the balance, the Oregon‘s crew must unravel a tangle of drug-smuggling routes 1d

EadieB and international conspiracies spanning from the Aegean Sea to the Indian Ocean, putting their lives on the line to find the weapon before its countdown hits zero.
This was a good book but a bit different spin than the other books in the Oregon files. It was written by Mike Maden but not with Clive Cussler. This changed the whole voice of the novel and I found it a bit distracting while reading the book. 1d

EadieB The characters of the crew did not work together and I did miss this in the book. Hopefully Mike Maden will correct this in his next writing of the book. I think the books should be a bit consistent with the other books as this book feels like a different series. I realize that it must be difficult to write a book following the author‘s death but feel like it‘s important to get it right or start a new series. 1d

EadieB Sorry for being so critical but this is just a suggestion to help the author with his next endeavor of writing the next book. 1d

TheSpineView Bummer. Hopefully your next read will be better. 1d

EadieB @TheSpineView I hope so as I really do like this series! 1d
