Review: The Midnight Library

The Midnight Library The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Read this book for a book club and at first wasnt a fan of the subject.  But I decided to give it a chance so I could discuss it.  The more I delved into the page I found it to be interesting, and a thought provoking subject to discuss.  Are there alternative lives? What could have happened if we followed the path not taken?  I am sure it is one of those subjects that everyone had an opinion on.  While a bit depressing to talk about death....it was also interesting to discuss the life after.....or is there a life after?  Had a great discussion at my book club also.

Review: The Last Trip

The Last Trip The Last Trip by Kiersten Modglin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you never read another book in your life, make sure this is the last one you read.  Amazing story from the start but even better is just when you think you know what is happening.....another twist comes up.  This is a story where even when you think its the end.....its not the end.  The strength and powerfulness of the characters, especially Sadie, just grabs you.  The twists were mind-boggling and the end completely blew me away.  Bravo Ms. Modglin.

Review: Close Your Eyes

Close Your Eyes Close Your Eyes by Teresa Driscoll
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Havent read a book by this author in quite a while so picked this one to read and glad I did.  It grabs you from the very beginning and doesnt let go.  As a mom I cant imagine having a child that is missing and this book covers that story so we follow the story that grips you right from the start where you dont want to stop reading.  Excellent story.

Review: Rolling Toward Clear Skies

Rolling Toward Clear Skies Rolling Toward Clear Skies by Catherine Ryan Hyde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Amazing book, but this author always writes this way.  There is something about disasters that bring people closer and shows the kindness in them that should be there always but somehow isnt.  This is a heartbreaking story of children who are appreciative and those who are not and how if you keep trying you will bring out the best in everyone.  Another must-read book

Review: The Women

The Women The Women by Kristin Hannah
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this author and havent read her books in a while so decided to go with her new one.  I actually read it along with my sister and every morning we called each other to discuss it.  A very real book as I lived during those times and had friends who were in the service in Viet Nam, some of which I lost.  But getting the view of the nurses really shook me and yes, not enough was done for both the men and women who served.  Very brave and unappreciated by the country....they still need our help. This powerful story needs to be read by all.

Review: The Promotion

The Promotion The Promotion by Daniel Hurst
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another book that did not disappoint.  Daniel Hurst books keep you guessing and this one had an amazing story.  What would you do if someone kept you under their thumb and placed obstacles to prevent you from getting that promotion you really deserve?  How far would you go?
