Some Do, Some Don't (7/16/2025)
This book is a good resource for those thinking about starting a book discussion group to those who have been leading one for years. I like the links and resources being provided. You don't need to spend hours tracking down resources on your own. The one thing I would …more
The Sister's Curse
The Sister's Curse
by Nicola Solvinic
Sisters Together (7/13/2025)
As I read this book, I realize that the word "sisters" wasn't reserved for Dana and Viv. It extended to sisterhoods between all the women in the story. There was a sister relationship between Anna and Monica. The girls from the church had a sisterhood. The witches in Bayern …more

The Bone Thief

The Truth in Bones (7/4/2025)
I am in awe of the research Vanessa Lillie did to make this story bring out truth in a balanced way. This book is a reminder of how the Native Americans were (are) treated. Syd, the protagonist, manages to set things right and find a missing teenager. I didn't realize I was …more

The World's Greatest Detective and Her Just Okay Assistant
by Liza Tully
Finally got there! (3/10/2025)
I was a little over half way through the book and thought that I just couldn't finish the book. Then, the pieces started to come together. The individual storylines didn't seem as disconnected. I found some substance in the main characters. Olivia moved away from the meek …more

Beast of the North Woods
Beast of the North Woods: Monster Hunter Mysteries #3
by Annelise Ryan
Hodag's town (10/31/2024)
In the prologue, Andy describes a beautiful scene in nature. It didn't take long for the beauty to turn ugly. Before Chapter 1 began, I was caught up in the story. Every time I thought I was closing in on the killer another possibility appeared. The storyline had a lot of …more
In the Garden of Monsters
In the Garden of Monsters: A Novel
by Crystal King
Living Poetry (8/4/2024)
In "In the Garden of Monsters", Crystal King paints word pictures that flow like poetry. The details of the meals and garden are extraordinary. I kept waiting for the next pomegranate seed to be unveiled or for a new persona for a character to be revealed. The ending gave …more
The Cleaner
The Cleaner: A Novel
by Brandi Wells
No one sees (2/4/2024)
What you see isn't always what you get. The night shift cleaner fills her life by "taking care" of the people who work on the fourth floor, her floor. She realizes that she is doing this in the dark of night without them knowing what is happening. But she doesn't realize …more
The Waters
The Waters: A Novel
by Bonnie Jo Campbell
The Waters (11/12/2023)
As I began to read, I didn't know if I'd be able to keep all the characters straight. But the story soon settled into a story of generations. A story of moms, daughters, and granddaughters. The tale of family joy, grief, and secrets unfolded with unexpected twists and turns. …more
A Council of Dolls
A Council of Dolls: A Novel
by Mona Susan Power
A Council of Dolls (7/2/2023)
I selected this book because I love the language in the First Nations Version of the New Testament. It feels grounded. I was hoping to get a better feel for our Indigenous people by reading something written by one of their own about them. A Council of Dolls did not …more
