Karolina's Twins
by Ronald H. Balson
Excellent book about the Holocaust (7/29/2016)
Wow! A well-written book that was hard to put down. Although this is another book about the Holocaust, it was also a book about determination and finding love and joy amidst the horrors of the war. It is definitely a book I will consider for my senior book club. Love this book!!!!!
The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper
The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper
by Phaedra Patrick
Heartwarming (4/20/2016)
This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. A story of "you're never too old" to start living. A book of mixed feelings and discovering oneself even when you thought you were too old and set in your ways to have such wonderful discoveries. The book takes us from …more

The Same Sky
The Same Sky
by Amanda Eyre Ward
Ehhh (2/12/2015)
I enjoyed the book, but thought the two stories should have intertwined much earlier than at the end. I kept wondering how these two stories were going to connect to each other. For that reason, I could only rate it 3 stars.
The Heist
The Heist
by Janet Evanovich
Love it! (6/12/2013)
I have to disagree with the pros! I didn't think it was laugh-out-loud funny!

Great book. If you start out thinking this is going to be another Plum spinoff, you're in for a surprise. Janet can write/co-write some serious mystery/intrigue. The cast of characters is a little …more

Flight Behavior
Flight Behavior

The Innocents
The Innocents: A Novel
by Francesca Segal
Just so-so (6/6/2012)
This book has an interesting storyline, but there is so much extraneous material in it that it became a chore to get through it. The plot intrigued me, but I just couldn't get through the entire thing because of how things moved so slowly.
The Sometimes Daughter
The Sometimes Daughter
by Sherri Wood Emmons
Loved this book (3/19/2012)
I loved this book. It was a great read from start to finish. It truly shows that just giving birth to someone does not make you their true mother.

It's the story of a young girl (Judy) struggling to cope with her feelings about growing up with a mother (Cassie) who ran away …more
The Good Father
The Good Father: A Novel
by Noah Hawley
Compelling (1/19/2012)
This is a compelling novel about a father whose son has been accused of murdering the next president. The book is very well written and shows how the father believes in the son's innocence no matter what the media says. His journey through process causes him to soul search …more
Tides of War
Tides of War: A Novel
by Stella Tillyard
Slow moving (11/29/2011)
I thought this book was very slow moving and often confusing. So many characters to keep track of when going back and forth between home and the war setting.
Not one of the better books I've read this year.
The Night Circus
The Night Circus: A Novel
by Erin Morgenstern
Magic vs reality (11/14/2011)
A wonderful book where magic and reality are blended together. The reader is quickly drawn in to the uniqueness of the circus, as well as the lives of Celia and Marco and the contest they must complete. Drawn together by a bond that was forced upon them as children, they …more
Falling Together
Falling Together: A Novel
by Marisa De Los Santos
Friendships and love (9/7/2011)
Excellent book. I would highly recommend this book to someone who is seeking a book about friendship. Particularly someone who is looking to reconnect with old friends. It also demonstrates that you and someone you don't particularly like can achieve a bond and you can see …more
