If you grew up watching Julia Child when we all only had 4 channels you need to read this book. What a life! She and her husband were the best couple. Bon Appetit!

Nothing better than reading two great books in the summer in a row!!! I may have liked this better than Dark Matter and I loved that book. When you are done with this book you should read it again! Wait, maybe you already did🤔🤭😳😀

Loved this book and love this author. Now they are making a movie/miniseries on this. Please please find the RIGHT person to play Daisy! I love the book and probably won‘t watch but I will check out if they chose the right actress🤭😜👏 I read and I know things like this!

Good beach read. Alex wants to save a historical house from being torn down in her hometown by Lake Geneva. Divorced and determined she tries to renew herself and this house. Just a nice summer read. Oh and they describe Cicadas which is the weirdest experience ever. Every 17 years you can experience that occurrence in the Midwest!🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟.

True story of 5 year old Loung and her family and how they had to survive the Killing Fields of Cambodia. Watched this on Netflix and had to read it. What a hard book to read but one that you should read. I was 10 in America when this happened and that makes me think how things like this were happening and still happen in our world today. This girl/woman is the bravest person ever.

If you loved Breaking Bad then you will enjoy reading this. Fast reading and great insight on him and his character Walter White😎

Joe‘s mom is brutally attacked on their Indian reservation and the killer is in limbo between the laws of the reservation and the law off of the reservation. Good look at how the laws are slanted when it comes to reservation happenings. Sometimes hard to read. The need for this story is there but the final was not as I expected. I didn‘t feel that the mom was taken to a peaceful feeling of safety once again in her home.

Picked this up at the library for a Texas summer read. Quick read and the story was ok but how does James Patterson write this many books so fast? Or does he???🤓

Good fast reading for days in the pool. Jackie‘s husband dies in NYC and she takes her son Charlie to Sullivan‘s island to move away for a bit to go back to the South and her family. Love summer southern reads🐠

Fourth book in this series that I have loved and there is no need for this book, Sarah Maas could have texted all of us and said that the characters are doing well after the war!🤭. This book needs to be the ending of the last book or the beginning of the next....nothing happens here!!!!😤😤😤. I‘m going to write a very convincing letter to get my money back or to get the next installment at a discount!

Was told this was a bit hard to read until around page 120. They were correct. The writing seems to change and you get caught up in Count Rostov‘s sentence to be imprisoned in the Meteprol hotel in Moscow. I really think the writing changes life changes as you move through the years in Moscow.🤔

If they put this flight attendant together with the girl on the train , no liquor store would lose money! Entertaining book, but not sure about the ending🤔

Waited for this in paperback and it was worth the wait. I loved this book. I teach students from many countries and this book gave me some family insight into the family life of our Muslim friends. Great family dynamics that are written in the voice of every family member. Good pick Sarah Jessica Parker!

Always like Picoult‘s books. How did I miss this one? Faith is seven and after her mom and dad separate she begins talking to her guard who is thought to be God. Problem is that Faith is Jewish and begins reciting items from the Bible and also has stigmata. Makes you think about religion and how people react to others beliefs. Not my favorite Picoult book but I enjoyed the different topics. Why can‘t God talk to children?😏

Good second book in this duology. Good characters and the Grisha world is still one of my favorites.

Great world once again. Did start off kind of slow but once all of the characters were introduced it was great. Book two up next🎈

Good story mixed with science and politics of the US and China. Who is in charge when we start to colonize the moon? Mystery on the moon when an American is said to have killed a Chinese leader, this turns into a chase from the moon to Earth to the moon again. Set in 2047, that moon trip is right around the corner for us! Ending was not my choice but I‘m thinking a follow up book may be coming?

Started off ok but the characters never get interesting, couldn‘t finish it. I really don‘t care if the main character, who I can‘t even name,lives through the story. 🤭🤭🤭. How can there be 2 more books? It happens.

Abortions do not exist after the Second Civil War, parents can now give their children up to be unwound if from 13-18 they do not reach their potential in life. Connor escapes only to find Risa and Lev who are also trying to escape their unwound destiny. I loved this book, every pro lifer and pro choice person needs to read this. Great YA book that uses today‘s challenges of how people think that their way will solve all problems.

Scariest place on Earth? Rest stops! Darby is trying to drive to her ailing mom when she has to stop in a terrible blizzard at a rest stop. She is stranded with four people and maybe one more? This is just a great suspenseful thriller. Scares you in all of the right ways, ways that could really happen. Just pee in a bottle when traveling alone!!!😬

The story here is one thing but the art in this is beyond amazing and impressive. Art!🎨

The artwork in the book is unbelievable! 👏

Katsa is a Graceling and her grace is that she is the best fighter around her kingdom. She is controlled by King Randa until another Graceling, Po, discovers her and they begin to work together to set the 7 kingdoms straight. Great story, it‘s just right!👍🏼

Finally read this. Why are all of this author‘s books this good?? The answer is that he writes about real people and it gets me every time👏👏👏

First book that I read by this author and I loved it. Just a fun read, Helen is divorced at 30 and decides to take a survival wilderness course to change her life for the better if she doesn‘t die while doing it! Fun reading!😁

I love Picoult‘s books but this one I rate as just ok. The story works backwards after a man takes hostages inside an abortion clinic, too many views on a subject like this. I loved the last chapter though and think that it should have been the story line...read it and tell me if I‘m right about that!🤭🤔😁

Story set after WW11, Anne and Miriam become friends while embroidering the wedding dress for the wedding of Queen Elizabeth. Based on true accounts of an embroidery with Hartnell in London. Nice change in an uplifting post WW11 novel.

Southern novel where Arlene finally goes back home to face her past with a family that has all its flaws. Set in Alabama, this story shows how Arlene grew up with her cousin who together shared teenage secrets. She takes her African American boyfriend south even though she is ashamed of how they may accept him. Honest Southern novel, goes back and forth from past to present.

Cute rom-com, Laurie sees a man from her bus and has never felt a love connection at first glance like that ever. She looks for her bus-boy for an entire year, she doesn‘t find him but her best friend does. Cute story from there.....🤭

I had no idea what the premise of this book was. Set in the future where no one dies, the scythes are a group that kill to keep the population stable. Great female lead character. As I read this I kept thinking that I shouldn‘t enjoy this type of story but I loved it😬💀

I liked this first book in the trilogy but I‘m at a loss, good overall story but the characters, other than the main one, don‘t stand out. Harry Potter has ruined it for all! I‘m invested in the story but should I go on?🤔

Zig works as a mortician for the government and takes pride in taking care of the fallen. Nola knew Zigs daughter and now she is in Zigs hands after her death. Problem arises, this isn‘t the Nola who Zig knew. Good story with some mortician science and some historical Houdini stories to make a good mystery.

Picked this up at an airport, needed a quick story. Anne has memory lapses, she has them under control until her baby goes missing after she leaves her alone while she and her husband go to a party next door. This started out good but most of this wouldn‘t happen, but then again I say that when I watch the news. 😩🤪

Futuristic look at how Earth is the home planet and space travel is the option. You can live on Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter‘s moons and Mars is the planet of people who look down on all these. Loved the science and how the Earth is replenished after its downfall. I‘m still waiting for the automatic food delivery system like the Jetsons had!🤖👾👨🏼‍🚀👩🏼‍🚀💫🚀🛸

Jules and Reba are friends, one is innocent and one is worldly, or are they? Good story that is told through a diary that is left behind to fill in all the misconceptions of what happened on that bridge😳

Amelia is a mermaid and decides she wants to experience life on land. She finds and loses the love of a human and her story gets to PT Barnum. Good story about that mermaid that we all want to believe exists.

Good scary story but only a man would write some of the sex scenes!😩. There aren‘t many of those scenes but they don‘t seem to make or break this story about identical twins . One twin dies, the question is which one really does die!😬

Historical mystery that uses the Dakota building in NYC as the setting for this story. Good characters and good historical items set within. If you know NY you will love these books.

Listened on audio, 7 things that we could have done better without. The drug/heroine section is fascinating!

It‘s still a good book, reread it because my 4th graders just discovered it. A story within a story😀

Good suspenseful story, Anna has agoraphobia and can‘t leave her house, she has the best view in town so she lives her days watching people. Problem is people do tend to watch back. This is a modern day Rear Window.

True account of two people taken in to Auschwitz, the main person, Lale is put to work tattooing the people as they enter. Great story of what it took to survive such an atrocity. Liked that it is based on true accounts and has a good epilogue.

Heard both speak about this book that they wrote together. With Clinton being a past President you have to believe that this threat in the book had been thought about and the tactics that take place are coming from someone who can rightfully say this could happen and that this is how it could be taken care of. A doomsday book that scares because after reading it you hope it never happens😳😬

Historical fiction about Frank Lloyd Wright and his affair with a married woman who became involved with him after she and her husband had a house designed by him. This is a great story, women need to be free like Mamah decides she would be after she leaves with Frank. Just a great insight into how FLW thought and worked with his artistic behaviors.

Sat in to hear this author at the NYC book festival so I thought I would give it a try. Started off well with Evie hunting down paranormal people such as vampires, werewolves, hags/mermaids. The entire story kind of stalled, I think we needed to get to an ending and the whole vibe of the story changed into a love story almost taken away by fairies. 😜. Even the book cover is not quite right 🤔shouldn‘t werewolves be spelled wherewolves???

YA but I think adults will love this book. Fairy tale mixed with 3 stories of WW11 and a harmonica and the love of music. The book itself is beautiful, why waste covers? This is a Newberry Honor book. Students are reading it now.👍🏼

Identical twins! One leaves clues alphabetically to lead to a twisting story of a family in which all of them have their own problems. I think 400 bottles of wine may be the 6th character in this book! Love that each chapter, 26 of them, start with that numbered letter in the alphabet🙌🏼.

Read this in one day, tells the truth in so many ways.

Why did I never have to read this???🤔

Good book and story, the author uses historical buildings as her backdrop, you get to learn about the historical past. Love this idea, will read her other books👍🏼This one is based on the NYC hotel called The Barbizon Hotel for Women from the 1950s.
