Fascinating read about a girl with premonitions. Taking place during a European war. Being of a wealthy family certain expectations are made for her. Yet, her quirks make it hard for her to fit that mold. Explores the idea of making your own destiny.

This is a book that started a new series back in the 1990's. I intend to get the rest of the books that followed this one.

If you are a Rick Riordan fan, this is a must read. Lots of exciting characters and happenings, including your old friends Percy and Annabeth, finally reunited again, but also introducing a lot of new characters who you will be excited to learn about. If you are new to Rick Riordan it is important to note that this is the 3rd in the series so you will likely want to start with the Lost Hero. Enjoy!

A short, fun book with the Paw Patrol about the Pups and a trip to the city in a hot air balloon. Phonics book that focuses on short i words (big, city, rip, will, etc)

Great book! Could not put down. Page turning whodunnit! Keeps you guessing until the very end. Lots of twists and turns. She is a master of addictive suspense!

This book was #2 in the series that I previously reviewed. It was a very good book that was hard to put down. I love reading a series because it continues on a story but has its own plot. I would recommend this book.

This is book 6 in the Armand Gamache series and I recommend that you read them in order, as some events carry over from previous books. This is an excellent police procedural series and I thank my s-i-l Julia for recommending this series to my wife and I. We both enjoy it. This book is one of the author's best that I have read so far and I rate it 4.5 stars rounded down. This book opens with Armand recovering both physically and mentally from events in the previous book. Armand is on medical eave from his position as Chief of the Homicide Surete(Quebec Provincial Police) team. He is drawn into investigating a murder that has taken place in Quebec City. At the same time he suspects that he may have made a mistake in his role in convicting a murderer from the previous book. He asks his #2 in the Homicide team, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, to re-investigate the crime unofficially. Jean-Guy is also on medical leave and agrees to do so. Both cases are solved with a satisfactory ending. Both men are starting to heal, both physically and mentally. I grew up in Buffalo, NY and I can remember occasional cold spells where the temperature dipped to below zero, once to -20F. M y parents and friends would always comment that "you know it's cold because you can feel the snow crunching underneath your feet when you walk." This book takes place in February in Quebec City, where crunchy snow is an every day occurrence and daytime temps go to -30(book doesn't say Celsius or Fahrenheit, but both are bitter cold). Some quotes: Describing the Literary and Historical Society: "It takes a lot of effort to halt time, and for the most part they've done it." Conversation between members of the Champlain Society: Rene: "I sometimes thinks that we are in a rowboat society." Jean: "A what?" Rene: "A rowboat. It's why we do things like that." He jerked his head toward the window and the dot on the river. "It's why Quebec is so perfectly preserved. It's why we're all so fascinated with history. We're in a rowboat. We move forward, but we're always looking back." I raced through this library book in 3 days.

This book has 3 books in one. The first story is The Letters, second is The Calling, and the third is The Revealing. This is a wonderful Amish story that shows the love and trust of family even when there are stepchildren involved. The storys have twists in them that you wouldn’t expect. The last book was the one that I couldn’t put down. It brought all the storylines to a surprising end. A very enjoyable read!!

I have read just about every James Patterson adult book he has written or co-written. The true crime stories make you truly afraid of the evil that is really out there
