3.75- I’m having such mixed feelings about this book- I loved it in the beginning and where it was going, I loved the characters throughout,especially Grandy and Peach, I even loved the secondary characters- but sometimes I felt the story was rushed at the end. The loose ends with the mother also bothered me- suddenly she and the boyfriend were in a plane crash? I’m becoming too critical after covid- too hallmark-ey for even this hallmark fan!

4 stars for an easy fun read. Jimm Juree is an ex journalist living with her family at the southern end of Thailand on the Gulf of Thailand coast. Her mother sold their family home in Chang Mai and purchased a run down 5 cabin bungalow guest hotel. Jimm is out walking their 2 dogs on the beach when one of them discovers a head. She tells her grandad. The police are notified. But they turn the head over to the SRM(Southern Rescue Mission Foundation) a scam charity. Jimm thinks that something is strange and begins to investigate. She also has to deal with 2 mysterious guests, who pay in cash, give false names, and have removed license plates from their car. There are some laugh out loud lines in this book of quirky characters. Grandad is a retired traffic policeman. Jimm has a transgender sister who is a tech whiz. She also has fearsome looking brother, Arny, who is actually a gentle shy man, in love with a body builder woman older than his mother. How this group of characters solve the case of the head makes for a pleasnt story as they navigate the complicated issues of police/government corruption and incompetence. The author bio states that he was born in London, and has worked as a teacher in Israel, Australia, U.S. and Japan, before moving to Thailand. He dedicated this book to the lounge singers and karaoke singers of Thailand who bravely attack English songs phonetically without suffering the inconvenience of meaning. One quote: "It's been a Hard Day's Night, I should be Sleeping on Kellogg's" This was a library book.

I really like Civil War on Sunday. My favorite part was when they picked up the soldiers in the ambulance. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes history.

This book read like a Nora ephron movie. I enjoyed it. Was a quick read.

My favorite part was when he woke up in the morning and the chicks were on his ear and foot.

Really enjoyed this book, especially the end. You know a book is me sinful when it makes you think and also brings you to tears!

Die Twice is the second book in the Trevellyan series. It is a cross between Jack Reacher and James Bond. There are lost of plots twists and is very entertaining but beware if the physical brutality. I hope the third in the series is just as good.

Excellent story, pulls you in right from the beginning. Story is about the orphan children from England (were called Home Children) London was over-whelmed with orphans and sent them to Canada, Australia and parts of Africa. All were based on actual cases and was a very moving story.

I would recommend this series. I really liked it, except when the characters made me made??

Some incredible stories about our veterans. Why they joined and the things they went through. Some are kind of mundane, others will make you want to cry, while others will makw
