This is a good old fashioned detective story where women were “dames” and were “notin but trouble”. The language is fun and the central character is the grounding influence here as everyone else in the story is either crazy or a killer…..and one is both.

This was an engaging story of a RAF war flyer who crashes during a mission, but he winds up in a different year. It is interesting to watch him as he realizes what has happened and then try to figure out what to do. A different type of story.

This non-fiction book tells the story of Elizabeth Packard. She is a woman I have never heard of but should have. Sane women are institutionalized by their husbands on whims including Elizabeth. She fought to get back rights for her and others caught in this situation . The story is at times tedious but I am glad I learned about this formidable woman.

A powerful & deeply moving story of loyalty & betrayal that can tear a family apart.

A MM romance with Hudson, a hockey player who has been switched teams a lot and who doesn't make connections with people well has a one night stand with Gavin, who turns out to be a single dad athletic trainer with his new team. Hudson struggles with not knowing how to settle down with someone he might like, coming out as bisexual, and dealing with his pushy sports agent dad. Gavin worries about what his daughter will think and whether his job will be at risk if the team finds out they are dating. The characters are well developed and their concerns are completely understandable, but the book still winds up with a well done HEA.

I found the story of the family very sad. So much lying and deception.

In what I think of as a "Cozy Mystery", an elderly couple is murdered by their nephew for, predictably, money. There is also a major town celebration, which really has very little to do with the plot. Not going to be a great real for real mystery fans.

So here is a perfect example of why I prefer not to know too much about a book before I read it, because this is a western. It’s not a genre I would normally select, but this one was very enjoyable. On the surface, it’s a simple story about a man looking for gold, but it’s also the story of fear, loneliness, and hope. It’s about making tough choices and doing the right thing. I look forward to reading something else by this author.

intense and thought provoking

This is an interesting look at friendship and how It both changes and endures over time. It’s also an examination of how friends enrich each other’s lives, even in the face of conflict. I love how the starting point of the book is when the 2 women are young and how they reunited after many years. A good read for everyone.
