Cool and edgy, like Gordon’s star-studded life, but she lost me at the amount of name-droppings and talk of LA.

Every Day Is A Gift
by Tammy Duckworth

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!

The Knight

book cover


Book 3 in the Last Horizon series was perhaps the best one yet! This entry had greater character development to go along with the action sequences. The Knight is certainly the most likeable character in the series so far. For a series that seemed to not yet find its way, this is a strong book that seems to help it find its course. Will have to wait to see where things go with the next installment!

It Had To Be You

book cover


This is the story of twin young men accused of killing their parents. Without enough evidence to convict or prove innocent the story shows how it affects their lives and relationships. Ten years later the family, with the help of a tv show, set out to find new evidence to solve the case. There are several twists and turns in the story to keep you guessing until the end. This book was quick and easy read.

I loved this book. It was about a kid, Greg Heffley. It's the first book in the series. It is about Greg's life in school and at home. He has a older brother named Rodrick, and a younger brother names Manny. I would highly recommend this book!

The Frozen River
by Ariel Lawhon

book cover


The Frozen River is a captivating story about a midwife in the late 1700s who seeks justice for the innocents in her life against those who intend to harm them. It is a beautifully written story of her life as not just a midwife, but as a mother, healer, and friend amongst the people in her town; and with her own life experiences can empathize with people more than they could ever know.

The Last Promise

I loved this love story - especially how RP Evans wrote it - placing himself in the story as the listener of the story and afterwards, the writer. What a great concept! And the images of Italy became real in my mind! I never wanted this book to end!
