Great, unique world building. Plot with some interesting twists. Sometimes the plot moved slowly, but then the end went too quickly. Seemed like parts could have been cut out.

I found this book located in the adult section. However, the author's writing style is appropriate for junior high school students. This book is a great introduction to one of America's disgraceful acts, as told by an eyewitness to history.

Dual Image

Dual Image had me hooked from the beginning, loved every word from the very last one. I always loved her books and would definitely re this again, even buy it for my personal collection. The love story about finding first love was so well written. Hooked from the start, it has me believing in love again. It wasn't only about romantic love between a couple. It was about love of a child and fighting for this child, to give this child the life he deserves after losing both his parents. I truly recommend this book for all Nora Roberts fans and anyone who loves and believes in happy endings.

Every Day Is A Gift
by Tammy Duckworth
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Senator Tammy Duckworth's memoir is a gift to all of us who've never participated in United States military operations and never really understood the experiences of the many veterans of the US military around us. Wounded Warriors and their families have offered all of us an immense gift as United States citizens and military participants who support government initiatives they cannot control or choose. I was wowed at Tammy Duckworth's ongoing steely spirit and will to super-cede mortal bounds ! She is one who has come so close to dying and rehabbed back with that immense determination to succeed and brilliantly advocate for her colleagues, their families, who cannot self-advocate as well at this time. I wish I could share her steeled backbone! These warriors and their families deserve nothing more than Honor and Tammy Duckworth's memoir is amazingly inspirational to me...Wowed!
