The Great Swindle aka Au revoir là-haut by Pierre Lemaître, 5+/5
I have finished Dead Blow
Lisa Preston
5 stars!
A great horse story about a female farrier (horse short) and 2 murders. And watch out for Dragoon the two thousand pound bull!
Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk
David Sedaris
A collection of short animal based stories. Some have shocking endings and may be a tad bloody. Not for kids as contains naughty words.
4 stars
I have finished these:Finished this one yesterday:
Live and Let Chai
Bree Baker
4 stars
This is the first book about Everly Swan who lives in Charm North Carolina and runs her tea shop. Her family is cursed and she finds a body on the beach. Of course she starts snooping as it's a mystery. These books are fun reads and Everly gets herself into the most crazy situations. Added bonus are her two pets Lou the seagull and Maggie the cat. There is also a relationship between Everly and the local detective Grady. I actually started the series by reading book #2 and then read all the others in order so now I have finished the series.
This morning I read:
Lotería
Mario Alberto Zambrano
This is the dark story about an 11 year old girl and her troubled family, alcoholic father. Very bad things happen. The story also revolves around Mexican bingo cards that have pictures on them. I didn't exactly understand everything in here (like why a harp is supposed to be called a girl) and there were many Spanish words throughout the book. The story itself is very good and the cards - in full color - are beautiful.
3 stars.
I just finished:When the Moon Hatched
Sarah A. Parker
Rated it 5 stars.
This is not only a story of revenge but also one of a woman who is hiding the truth from herself. Because sometimes things happen that are so bad you hide it. And yes it's full of dragons and magic! The copy I read was 690 pages!
Land, a nonfiction book by the writer Simon Winchester, FIVE stars,
I just finished HeartBroken by Serena Valentino. 5 stars. I am a big Disney fan, and I love these twisted fairy tales.
I read A Brief History of Time by Andrew H. Knoll and rated it 3 stars because there were too many entire paragraphs about specific elements and I am not a scientist. The dinosaur chapter was good though
I have finished two books today:Shadow Divers
Robert Kurson
5 stars!
This is so vivid! It's nonfiction that really makes you feel like you are there with the divers trying to solve the mystery of this World War II U-boat (and the U means "unterseeboot" which means "under sea boat"). This is a real page turner. Almost reads like fiction.
The Berry Pickers
Amanda Peters
3 stars.
I know this book is very popular but it didn't do much for me. I wanted a real mystery but the mystery was solved by page 23! Not what I was expecting. At all. Plus the entire story was depressing.
Reread Sorcerers Stone and rated it 5 stars
Love Uncovered: A Spicy Summer Holiday Rom-Com, Your Next Unputdownable Beach Read5 stars.
A great summer read and also funny!
The Summer of Broken Rules and definitely five stars! It's sooo good!
The Last Thing He Told Me gets 5*****
Sipsworth by Simon Van Booy -- 5 stars
I just finished Ain't Nobody's Fool, a biography of Dolly Parton. I really enjoyed this one, as it is chock full of new information about the influences of her life. It is coming out at the end of December. Here is my review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I just finished Black Dahlia by Willam J. Mann. I gave it 5 stars for its detailed study of this grusome murder, and the new information he brought to the table. Here is my review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished 3 books today! The Royal Hunt of the Sun
Peter Shaffer
I rated this old play 2 stars. It was pretty boring and I struggled to read it. It's about Pizarro invading the Incas in Peru.
The Amalfi Curse
Sarah Penner
Rated this 4 stars.
It's a good story and has a duel timeline. About sea witches.
A Pony in the Picture: Vintage Portraits of Children
and Ponies
Victoria Randall
4 stars.
Vintage photos of children with ponies. Plus short paragraphs of texts with info. The details you see in the pictures is very interesting.
Last book I read was The Women by Kristin which was about war. And how war affects life of that particular veteran. I would give 4 star !!!!

This was a slow build mystery about two women going to an isolated island with weird, reclusive people. Each goes there for their own reasons. The final end was shocking.
