This book had a lot going on. There was a lot of jumping from character to character & from past to present . The story was good & kept you guessing throughout. For me there was a bit of an “ick” factor but overall solid book.

Rules of Civility

I liked this novel, but I didn’t love it. I enjoyed the setting, NYC in the late 1930’s. I enjoyed the main characters, but felt there were too many minor characters to keep track of. I wasn’t a fan of the way the dialogue was presented, although the back and forth comments between the friends was witty and clever. It left me with a lot of questions. I thought the best quote of the book was Katey’s response to a friend’s comment . . . If the next thing you are about to say will make YOU feel good, you probably shouldn’t say it. She didn’t heed her own advice very often! Katey was quite the character. Whatever her motives were, she was a strong woman who understood what she wanted in life and didn’t stop until it was within her reach.

Workplace romance with all the heat and complications you want—Strictly Professional serves up chemistry that’s off the charts and challenges that keep you invested. It’s smart, spicy, and gives that slow-build satisfaction that stays with you long after the last track.

The Postcard

book cover


Although this is marked as a fiction, I have no doubt that this story is a based off of true facts. This book takes you out of Germany and into France and explores a Jewish family's fight to say alive during the Holocaust. The slow and manipulative way that the Nazis took over from a different perspective will have you shedding tears. This is such a sad read but so worth reading.

The Red Flags I've (repeatedly) Ignored
by Brianna McCabe
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book is about a girl who was a victim of domestic violence. It is very graphic in many explanations of the situations. Being on the domestic violence response team, I understood some of what happened, but it was sad how she let herself be abused and thought it was OK or blamed herself. She warns her readers of the parts that might be difficult to read. I recommend this book to those who take the book seriously.

This book is about people who are getting ready to celebrate a wedding. The central figures are the parents of the bride, who are divorced. Most of the story is through the eyes of the bride's mother. The three days are the day before, the day of, and the day after the wedding. It explores the feelings of those involved and how circumstances can change in just a few days. Enjoyable book to read.
