5 STARS!!!


I have liked other books by E VonA, not so much this one.
It is kinda fun


3 ⭐
True crime book but the author is very opinionated, the book needed a better editor as dates were wrong :/ but I like his style of writing though - I find it very simple like he's talking to the reader.



A terrific psychological thriller!

That was a struggle. Well, to use so many words and say nothing at all is a remarkable talent. Things almost happened.
But I started The Garden of Evening Mists
I'm just 3 chapters in and don't want to jinx it, but it's promising to be 5/5. The writing is beautiful, and I don't say it lightly :)
And our philosophy on gardening coincide ;)

I'd have to give spoilers to tell you why I rated it so low in comparison to other reviewers. I wanted so much to love it!



I also just finished Louise Erdrich's latest, Tales of Burning Love, which I gave 4 stars--only because I couldn't see why 5 women would marry this one guy--not the best way to judge, but there it is.
Before that, I'd recently finished Kristin Hannah's latest, The Women--another at least 5 stars.


I gave it a 2/5 for a lot of different reasons
I probably would have given it a one star if it was any other author, but I adore Lynn Painter’s writing style.
