Good reminder of Achilles in a modern version.

A quick, fun mystery read about wine!!! What‘s not to love!

Having just visited Philadelphia I could relate to locations I had seen throughout the city. This book is very thorough so it definitely expanded my knowledge about Betsy and her family.

We‘re enjoying this series of travelogues while on our own road trips! Great humor!!

We learned so much about the eight Vice Presidents who became President upon the death of the President. The author explained so many scenarios surrounding the circumstances of each. The chapter “Near Misses” was enlightening also.

This was listed as a developing the NW theme. Just assumed it was the Oregon Trail only to discover OH was the NW before OR was!!! We knew nothing about the settling of the OH River Valley! We learned lots listening to this on a road trip and we‘ve driven through Ohio countless times to get to “somewhere else” apparently discounting the evolution of settlement there. We were particularly interested in the educ. foundation in Ohio.

I knew something about the pack librarian program and nothing about the “blue people” and the Fulgate family. I learned more about all these subjects which took place in the 1930s in Kentucky.

We are thoroughly enjoying the adventures of Matt and Karen as they venture through National Parks and recreation sites! We have also challenged ourselves to accomplish this goal but have a way to go to catch up! Looking forward to our next adventure in 3 weeks!

I discovered that I knew very little about Martha Jefferson Randolph and her very difficult life at the hands of her husband. Having had no expectations for this book I now find that I have to recommend it!

His first foray into nonfiction. I‘m not sure about these theories. Will do some research on his references.

I did not know about the process to make indigo. Learned lots with a riveting historical fiction storyline! Great read!

Tara Westover triumphs in this biographical account of her life. Even in her triumph she has hard work ahead of her to assimilate horrific experiences. Very well written by the author.

Learned lots.

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would!

Incredible debut novel for Meghan MacLean Weir. Many valuable lessons to contemplate.

My hubby and I really enjoyed this book. We too are on a quest to visit all the parks and have completed 26. We have plans this summer to visit the three remaining parks we need to visit east of the Mississippi.

Not usually a Grisham fan but did like this one. Not too sure however about the ending?

I learned so much about Hedy Lamarr‘s life, particularly about her inventions and attempts to shorten WWII.

A page turner for sure! Great characters fully developed, literary sentence structure! So glad my book club included this on our list this year!!

I struggled to care for any of the characters throughout the book. It was also predictable.

Multigenerational saga of Japanese influences on Korea from WWII.

Did not live up to hype.

Hard to follow scI-fi story line. Possibly needs more action?

Great follow up to seeing the theatre production “Come from away” on Broadway!

Lots of information that a reader should read and reflect upon several times.

Compelling events that happened very recently.

Excellent account of the war leading up to the victory at Yorktown. Especially learned lots in the afterword with the subsequent accounting of each of the major players up to their deaths.

Very undeveloped characters disjointedly presented.

Appropriately entitled as there are many little fires going on on every page!!!

A wonderful tribute to a special family.

I learned so much about this family and their philanthropy.

This book filled in so many of the previous Questions I had about the Windsors.

Great to have access to the updated information.

Very moving story.

We‘re headed to Prague and took this opportunity to read about my sister-in-law‘s grandmother and aunt.

Perfect read for a trip to Vienna and Budapest after finishing “Accidental Empress”.

Great concept... two mysteries in one!

Short story to introduce The Silent Sister.

This book is a must read!!! So enlightening.

An ok mystery.

Surprisingly I enjoyed it.

I was encouraged to read this book after our trip to Patagonia and Antarctica.

Very thought provoking while reading this novel and even more so after completing it. One of the best books I‘ve read in a couple years!

Fun, escape read.

Story of great resilience.

Good review of last 14 months.

Too easy to determine outcome despite a couple twists.

Nonfiction events in 1880s Austin.

Many good insights.

Excellent book to use as comparison to our current president.
