The Last Chance Library
by Freya Sampson
It takes a village (7/28/2021)
You've heard that sometimes it takes a village. This time it just might take a community. I loved how this diverse cast of characters found a way to come together to support a cause they all believed in.
Cartier's Hope
Cartier's Hope: A Novel
by M. J. Rose
Carrier's Hope (9/9/2019)
From the author of "Tiffany Blues" comes a story of hope, love, mystery and intrigue. Discover that love and hope can sometimes come in different forms and meanings.

Ellie and the Harpmaker
by Hazel Prior
Ellie and the Harpmaker (4/10/2019)
I enjoyed this book. I especially like Dan not only the way he viewed life but also how he felt about the people in his life.
American Princess
American Princess: A Novel of First Daughter Alice Roosevelt
by Stephanie Marie Thornton
American Princess (12/1/2018)
I just finished reading American Princess. I found the book both entertaining and educational. I particularly liked the stories of time spent at Sagamore Hill since I have had the pleasure of touring the home.
Fly Girls
Fly Girls: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History
by Keith O'Brien
What about the "Fly Girls"? (7/18/2018)
I did not like the book. I never finished it because I felt there was too much background information and it was taking too long to get to the point. I am from Long Island so I didn't need to read all about Roosevelt field or the Garden City Hotel, places I have been to on many occasions.
