<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Londoners Jack and Syd found their dream home: lots of space, a great location, and a friendly owner who wanted a young couple to have it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Everything is exactly what they hoped for when they move in—except Jack makes a disturbing discovery in the attic, and Syd begins to wonder about the girl next door. And they each keep the other in the dark.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">

</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">I got the opportunity to read this book ahead of its publication date thanks to Berkeley Press. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">This was a good thriller. It started off with weird things happening in this couples new house, that I was sure it was going to be a ghost story. It was creepy and suspenseful. The telling by both characters separately added to the suspense. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">I was hooked early and was eager to read in until finished and had learned what was really going on. There is a bit of a twist at the end, that I won’t mention, but it did surprise me. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">If you like suspense with a some twisted family drama thrown in, you will enjoy this one by Lelic. </span></div>

Last year, Tom and Caroline Johnson chose to end their lives, one seemingly
unable to live without the other. Their daughter, Anna, is struggling to come
to terms with her parents' deaths, unwilling to accept the verdict of suicide.
Now with a baby herself, Anna feels her mother's absence keenly and is
determined to find out what really happened to her parents. But as she digs up
the past, someone is trying to stop her.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>MY REVIEW:</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was an interesting story. The premise was very different than books I had read before. A mom and dad, within a year, both commit suicide and leave their daughter confused and heartbroken over why they would do such a thing. I wasn't surprised to learn there was more to these suicides, but the way the reality is even harder to grasp.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I thought I knew where the story was going from the beginning, I thought I knew the twist. I did, sort of, but still ended up surprised with where the story went. There were a few twists and turns that threw me off and kept me reading to the end. This review is very vague. I know. Too much info will ruin it, though. Sorry.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I read <b>I Let You Go</b> by Clare Mackintosh awhile back and absolutely loved it. I was thrilled to get a chance to read <b>Let Me Lie</b>. I wouldn't say it was as good, but it didn't disappoint. I am a sucker for a good mystery/thriller and this definitely delivered. I missed reading <b>I See You</b>, but will be sure to grab myself a copy.</span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a;">CeCe
D’Aplièse has always felt like an outcast. But following the death of her
father—the reclusive billionaire affectionately called Pa Salt by the six
daughters he adopted from around the globe—she finds herself more alone than
ever. With nothing left to lose, CeCe gathers the courage to explore the
mystery of her origins. The only clues she holds are a black and white
photograph and the name of a female pioneer who once lived in Australia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

One hundred years earlier, Kitty McBride, a Scottish clergyman's daughter,
abandons her conservative upbringing to serve as the companion to a wealthy
woman traveling from Edinburgh to Adelaide. Her ticket to a new land brings the
adventure she has dreamed of… and a love that she never imagined.</div>

When CeCe herself finally reaches the searing heat and dusty plains of the Red
Centre of Australia, something deep within her responds to the energy of the
area and the ancient culture of the Aboriginal people. As she comes closer to
finding the truth of her ancestry, CeCe begins to believe that this untamed,
vast continent could offer her something she never thought possible: a sense of
belonging, and a home…</div>

<u style="font-weight: bold;">REVIEW</u> :</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I absolutely love this series. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have been reading it since the first book came out. I think it is such an interesting concept. The mystery of the sisters' origins and their Pa Salt is just intriguing. Always happy to read anything by Lucinda Riley when I am in the mood for good historical fiction. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>The Pearl Sister</b> continues to shed light on the sisters and their adoptive father. More information is leaked to the reader and an understanding of who CeCe is is achieved. She was hard to figure out in the previous books, with the little info on her and her demeanor towards her sisters. After reading this one, I completely understand why she has been portrayed the way she has. I was left a little confused with her time spent Thailand and how it had to do with her story, however. Her time with Ace didn't feel necessary. I enjoyed reading more of her time in Australia and about the people she meets there.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One thing I really enjoyed is how the sisters' "origin stories" and how they are linked to historical figures. In this case, I had no knowledge of Kitty McBride. I am lacking in Australian history, but enjoyed learning about her and her life in the outback. I did a little research on Google to learn more, as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I cannot wait for the next installment. Still have a few more sisters to learn about!</div>

Would have given this a five, but it was an abridged version of the book. I didn’t realize it when I purchased in on Audible. It was good at keeping my daughter’s interest. She loved the story. Helena Bonham Carter is the perfect narrator for this classic. It is one of my absolute favorite books. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Will look forward to reading the unabridged version to her another time. </center>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">November 18th we celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary. It’s hard to believe it has been seventeen years! Doesn’t seem that long. We celebrated with a stay in Big Sur. One of our favorite places to relax and recharge.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
I especially enjoyed sitting outside amongst the redwoods by the fire pit reading <b>The Goldfinch</b> by Donna Tartt. It’s hard not to appreciate how lucky we are to be able to do this.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Anyway, <b>The Goldfinch</b>. I grabbed this book at my brother in law’s this summer when I finished the book I had brought with me to Maine. I started it then and had been reading it off and on for four months. I have had to put it down multiple times to read book group reads, but I kept coming back to it. It’s one of those books that you can put down and pick up weeks later and it’s like you never left.<br />
<br />
This book really had everything I love in a story. Well developed characters, a little history (in this case art history), rich language and and story that keeps me interested. I really enjoyed this one.<br />

It's been almost a year since the last time I posted anything here. It's been a busy year. So busy, that I forgot to post that last one.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Our house has been under construction, the girl finished kindergarten and is now a big First grader. I am semi-working at the co-op preschool the girl and I attended. We are patiently waiting to get back into our house.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
There has been lots of driving, shuttling the girl to and from school and to after school activities. We are sharing a house with four other adults and a 2 year old. It makes for little time and little motivation to find a quiet place to sit down and write.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Anyway, I am still reading. Maybe not as prolifically as I once did, but still a respectable amount. I have missed sharing my thoughts about the books I read, though. So I am going to try and get back to it. May be a little slow winding my groove again, but am going to try. I will also mix in my other current activities and hobbies as I have in the past.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
We'll see how it goes.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Happy Reading!</center>

I can't believe I haven't posted anything in so long. December was a busy month, though. It has been pretty crazy. We moved out of our house in anticipation of a big reno. We are now 10 miles from school, so there is much more commuting being done than usual. We were also busy with the holidays and travel. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Anyway, I am still here. Reading. Knitting. Surviving. :)</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I will get back to it here at some point...maybe.</center>

<b>About the Book</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
When Charlotte's step-sister goes missing and the women in her investment club start dying, Charlotte joins forces with a private investigator to find answers. Max and Charlotte discover that the investment club is just a front for the women and their activities to right wrongs done against them and other women. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
It looks like someone has discovered them and are now being hunted and killed but who can it be?</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
A good mystery and a bit of romance, <b>When All the Girls Have Gone</b> was an entertaining read. I enjoyed the suspense, the twist and turns. The romance was believable... A bit quick, but believable. I look forward to reading another book by Krentz. This was the first book of hers I have read but won't be my last. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I also really love the look of this cover. Don't you?</center>

I have been reading some Stephen King this month. Perfect for Halloween. It has been a busy month with school volunteering, and the house remodel, though, so my reading time has been a bit limited. So this book will be going into November. Really enjoying it.</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
I could not put this book down. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Once I started I wanted to get to the end right away.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Zoe has just gotten married to a rich widower and has left her old life behind. No longer scraping to make ends meet, Zoe is now showered with gifts and fine clothes and is heading charity events. It is around this time that her past starts to catch up to her. Her apartment gets broken into, she is almost hit by a car. Could the men that she testified against in her previous life have found her?</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Lots of suspense, and many possibilities...this book kept me interested throughout and had me yelling at Zoe to smarten up a bit. It is amazing how quickly she went from the luckiest girl to the least. Should she have seen this coming?</center>

Reckless, desperate, and distraught, Noa Sullivan leaps into a collapsing Portal in the explosive finale of <em>Shattered Blue</em>— the jaw-dropping, award-winning first installment in The Light Trilogy— in wild hope of rescuing her little sister Sasha. Now Noa and the Fae brothers who love her—Callum and Judah Forsythe—must find a way to survive not only across worlds but between them, in places so treacherous and deceptive their own minds are twisted against them. As the three fight to survive their passage, they battle not only enemies but themselves, and their darkest, most difficult secrets.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Surviving, however, is only the beginning: Noa needs to find Sasha. That means becoming a warrior herself, one just as fierce as the magical brothers battling for her love. Across broken cities, underground labyrinths, rushing floods and endless skies; in the face of legions of armies, horrifying tyrants, and the most deceitful of friends, can Mortal Noa rescue her sister—and understand her own heart—in time to escape the most deadly of magic realms?</div>

For Noa and Callum, being together is dangerous, even deadly. From the start, sixteen-year-old Noa senses that the mysterious transfer student to her Monterey boarding school is different. Callum unnerves and intrigues her, and even as she struggles through family tragedy, she’s irresistibly drawn to him. Soon they are bound by his deepest secret: Callum is Fae, banished from another world after a loss hauntingly similar to her own.</div>

But in Noa’s world, Callum needs a special human energy, Light, to survive; his body steals it through touch—or a kiss. And Callum’s not the only Fae on the hunt. When Callum is taken, Noa must decide: Will she sacrifice everything to save him? Even if it means learning their love may not be what she thought?</div>

<b>Apprentice in Death</b> by J.D. Robb</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
384 pages, Hardcover</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Published September 2016, Berkeley</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center>

</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
So, this is book #43 of Robb's In Death series. Just so you know, I have not read any of the previous books in the series. I went into this read with no background on the characters, on the writing style, etc. It sounded like an interesting police procedural and I did know that Robb is a pseudonym for Nora Roberts. A teacher I used to work with loved these books, so I was excited to give one a try.</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Eve Dallas is a lieutenant with the NYPSD and is investigating deaths at an ice skating rink that were committed by a sniper. The suspects are identified and hunted by the entire department in an attempt to attain them before other deaths occur.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The plot was good, the pace quick and the suspense high throughout. I had a hard time with this one only because I had not read these books before. I was unfamiliar with the fact that these books are set in the near future, so the tech mentions were confusing. Didn't let it bother me too much and continued to enjoy the story. </center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center>

<b>My Review</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Jack O'Conner left his small town of Wedding Tree, Louisiana to join the allies in France during WWII as a medic. He also left a fiance, Kat, anxiously waiting for his return. Unfortunately, for her, when he does return he is not alone. With him is a French bride and a baby.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Many years later, Kat finds Jack's widow Amelie, in her retirement home and asks to hear her account of how she and Jack met and became married. Amelie's story is gut wrenching and tragic and also full of "adventures", as Kat describes them, that no one would actually want to experience. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The history of the Nazi Occupation, the workings of The French Resistance and the incredible horrors and losses during this time is seamlessly intertwined with the story of Amelie. It was a book that I had a hard time putting down and got completely invested in also learning her story.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>The French War Bride</b> is the second book in Wells' <b>The Wedding Tree</b> series. I have not read the first book, but had absolutely no problem in reading this one as it reads as a stand alone book, but I will be locating a copy for myself very soon. </center>

<br /></center>
<center>
So, has it been long enough since it came out to discuss Book 8? </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I was talking to my sister last week, who has read the book three times already, about it. As you can guess, she absolutely loved it. I was a little more lukewarm in my response to it. I liked it, I read it in about 4 hours straight. There was just something about it that made it not quite stand up to the other books. Not sure if it was the script format, or the fact that it was co-written. I don't know.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
The characters were all there, older - but their personalities and quirks were still there. The new characters were believable and fit in to the HP Universe just fine. The storyline was plausible, but there were some things that happen that just didn't seem to align with the other books. I did like that we got to revisit some long lost characters and see how the world may have turned out had Voldemort not been defeated.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Okay, so I tried to review without giving anything away. Hope I succeeded. If you love HP, this is a must read, no matter what. I love the "where are they now" aspect to it. It was nice to get a Rowling approved look at what Harry, Ron, and Hermione went on to do.</center>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The 5 year old has given this book only one star. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She only "likes it a little bit". She thought Ramona wasn't being a good girl. She liked Beatrice because she's older. She had to plug her ears many times when Ramona was up to no good and was about to get in trouble. It actully took her a couple weeks after starting it to want to finish listening to it.She said it was too scary.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As for me, I loved it. Just as much as I loved it as a kid. This book had me laughing as much as the little girl was cringing. Ha. I liked that as she is getting older, Stockard Channing has made Ramona's voice a little less whiny.</div>

This was a great listen for the entire family. We listened to it twice on our road trip this summer and were completely entertained. My 5 year old loved it. Scarlett Johansson did a fabulous job reading. She used different voices for all the characters and just brought the whole story to life. </div>

Seriously, this was perfect for entertaining a young kid on a very long drive. </div>

I purchased the audio collection of this series of books to take along with us on a road trip with our five year old. She loves books and I thought she would love these as I once did. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this book and its reading by Stockard Channing. One critique, though, I wish she hadn't given Ramona such a whiny voice. <br />
<br />
The little girl enjoyed it but definitely got sad and upset when Ramona did some of her worst things. <br />
<br />
We have yet to finish <b>Ramona the Pest</b>, due to some uncomfortable situations for the little girl. She doesn't like when Ramona is going to get in trouble. </center>
