Women of a Promiscuous Nature
by Donna Everhart
Just wow! (4/1/2026)
I was completely captivated by this novel. As someone who grew up near this facility, I never heard any history of the facility! This is timely and terrifying to think there was nothing the women could do. The author skillfully weaves the reader into the story so that you feel like you are experiencing the level of pain the residents endure. Solid 5/5!
When the Sky Turned to Dust
by Catherine Matthias
Pleasantly surprised (3/23/2026)
I must admit this is not my genre to read, but I was surprised at the way it reels the reader in the few chapters. This is a difficult period in history and sometimes it is painful to envision the families and their struggles. While I did feel there were aspects of the novel that could be considered repetitive, I enjoyed the immersion into the Dust Bowl Well paced and engaging
The House of Hidden Letters
by Izzy Broom
Island getaway (3/3/2026)
I enjoyed the book for numerous reasons. If you are a reader who loves an air of mystery with your history, or a bit of exotic destination with your love story, this is the book for you. The characters are easy to relate to and the author does an excellent job of providing depth to each one without complicating the enjoyment of their personalities. Great choice for book clubs!
Jane and Dan at the End of the World
by Colleen Oakley
A fun diversiom (2/1/2026)
Typicallly not my genre since I tend to veer toward the thriller novels, but I must say I have enjoyed the journey as Jane and Dan find themselves in quite the precarious situation while enjoying what was supposed to be their last dinner together as a married couple. While I laughed and reflected on my own marriage (relating to theirs), the element of surprise at each twist and turn made this feel at times like the thrillers I enjoy.
Haven't Killed in Years
by Amy K. Green
Enjoyable! (11/25/2025)
I found the protagonist to be rather funny, given the situation. Although her life was riddled with abandonment, she seems to take it in stride as she embarks on her journey to uncover the mystery of who wants to dig up her family’s sordid past, especially her father. The writer’s style is engaging and while the subject is thrilling, it’s also quite humorous in places. Enjoyed it!
Dandelion Is Dead
by Rosie Storey
Wishing for more.. (10/20/2025)
I would actually rate this more like a 4.5. The concept for the storyline is unique and engaging, but it took a bit to get into the characters. Once I did, I was hooked. I teetered somewhere between tears and quiet chuckles the entire book. Wishing there were a few more chapters of this one and anxiously awaiting more from this author.
This Here Is Love: A Novel
by Princess Joy L. Perry
This Here is Love (8/23/2025)
As a High School English teacher, I try to get my hands on all genres of books to share with my students, colleagues, and friends. This is one of those books I cannot stop thinking about. The characters are rich and developed with such depth that you feel you have stepped back in time to share their pain. Without giving anything away, I found myself rooting for the unlikeliest of characters. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
