Nothing to See Here

Nothing to See Here (7/2/2019)

Not sure where he got the idea of the title but what a delightful book. I don't think I could have done what Lillian did. Her boring life became anything but boring. Helping out an old friend who took advantage of her years ago, does it again. The kids didn't have a normal …more

When We Left Cuba

When We Left Cuba (2/7/2019)

I enjoyed the book. However it was more romance than I prefer. I wish that the book had more details on the CIA and the plans of invasion. I know that Beatriz like alot of Cubans that had to leave wanted to go home. Like the Perez family who had the means to leave wanted to …more

The Typewriter's Tale

A Certain Age (3/29/2016)

I am half way through the book and I have enjoyed it. Her historical background is great. She really know how to intertwine the characters and I amazed how her dialogue is as if you are there listening. I know by the time I finish the book it will be at the top of my list to recommend.

Sentinel: A Spycatcher Novel
by Matthew Dunn

Sentinel by Matthew Dunn (7/23/2012)

As a spy novel this was very good. It was easy to follow- although the Russian names and places were hard to follow at first. I haven't read the first in the series and I lost some of the background. But I really enjoyed it. It was a fast moving story that kept me wanting …more
