Common sense resource (7/31/2025)
For the most part, the information was common sense ideas that anyone who has ever been part of a book club should think of. I felt that this could have been a feature article rather than a book. I did like the idea of the club checkup and may incorporate that into my club.

The Sister's Curse

Supernatural thrills (7/4/2025)
This was an unusual thriller. Supernatural events can be distracting but here they add a layer of interest to the mystery. The characters were developed well enough to make them relatable but at times Anna's back story could have been filled in more fully. The ending was …more
Too Old for This
Too Old for This
by Samantha Downing
Serial fun (4/11/2025)
Lottie is very likeable and entertaining, despite her admission early on that she is a retired serial killer. Her personality and wit are so engaging that I forgot I was supposed to find her repulsive. Well done! I did grow a bit weary of her by the end, but overall this …more

Songs of Summer

Good Beach Read (1/7/2025)
The character Maggie was born interesting and frustrating; she runs a record store and has lots of knowledge about music that's woven into the story. But she's about 16 emotionally, so going through her potential relationships and reunion with her birth mother was a bit of …more

Serial Killer Games

Quirky, fun read (12/31/2024)
The two main characters here may have been the oddest I've come across in a while. But that was what made this a really fun read. I just had no idea what these two were going to do next! From strange workplace encounters to unusual outings to a trip to Vegas, they …more

One Death at a Time

An engaging mystery (12/18/2024)
This was a fun read that went from a Los Angeles AA meeting to the Hollywood Hills and the characters that inhabit them. Mason starts off as a tough cookie who is determined to get actress Julia on the path to sobriety. But before she can start her mission, Mason finds …more
Jane and Dan at the End of the World
Jane and Dan at the End of the World
by Colleen Oakley
A quick, fun read (11/23/2024)
The title made me think this was going to be some kind of apocalyptic story, and in a sense it is. But it's not the end of THE world, just possibly the end of Jane's world. The author definitely created a character in Jane that I immediately knew and understood. It made …more
Beast of the North Woods
Beast of the North Woods: Monster Hunter Mysteries #3
by Annelise Ryan
Just didn't grab me (10/28/2024)
I liked the main character, but there seemed to be a lot of minor characters dropping in and out, some of whom didn't serve a purpose. The story was intriguing but the execution just dragged on with a lot of people lurking and threatening and chasing the main character for …more

Other People's Houses
by Abbi Waxman
Very engaging (12/22/2017)
I found myself immediately drawn into the lives of the characters and ended up reading it in two days! She did a wonderful job creating characters and situations that rang true but were not ordinary. I did think the ending was very slightly predictable, but as a friend …more

Young Jane Young
by Gabrielle Zevin
Thoughtful yet fun (8/2/2017)
This book engaged me immediately, partly because of the style and partly because the subject matter struck home. Each of these characters was genuine and each viewpoint was thought-provoking without being a serious read. I have already passed my copy of this book along to …more

The Gypsy Moth Summer

Loved it and hated it (4/28/2017)
I loved the characters and found myself rooting for them--sometimes in spite of their best efforts to make me not do so. I have to say that I felt as if I knew these people, and that's a good thing. All of that said, the writing was too complicated at times, sometimes to …more
The Half Wives
The Half Wives
by Stacia Pelletier
I wanted to love it (1/28/2017)
I especially enjoy historical fiction, so I was all set to love this book. For me there was just not enough detail about life in San Francisco during the era to create that sense of traveling in time that I so enjoy. Part of my issue may have been the multiple narrative …more
