Sunday Morning
by Jewel E. Ann

book cover


It’s a favorite contemporary romance. Sarah and Isaac’s story is raw, messy, and filled with real emotion. The chemistry between these two is hot while also having such a beautiful emotional depth. I will be reading more novels by Jewel E.Ann

Happy Place
by Emily Henry

book cover


I have come to really enjoy Henry’s books when I need a lighter read that still has some real substance. This was truly a good book about two people who love each other but can’t get out of their own way to be together. My only problem was that, as a non-linear novel, both the current events and past events both contained dialogue, which, since I did it as an audio book, I felt made it harder to keep track of the time frame than if only the current time has the dialogue.

The Old Man and the Sea

While it is possible that I read this book when I was in school, I don’t remember any of it, and I certainly would not have appreciated it the way I do now. I did this as an audio book and the reader did such an amazing job of not only bringing the old man to life but of using his voice to make you feel like you were right there. I highly recommend this book, specifically as an audio book. It will be more than just a read; it will be an experience.

Morality for Beautiful Girls
by Alexander McCall Smith

book cover


Excellent book and this book is really three stories in one. As with all the “#1 Ladies Detective Agency” books, the setting is Botswana and the title story centers around finding a beauty contestant who is morally sound. Also, we see Mr. J.L. B. Matekoni struggle with a personal challenge, and Mma Makutsi does outstandingly well in a new role. To read these books and know these characters is to love them and Botswana.

book cover


Recipes and so much more! Cultural traditions, lessons learned, songs toward freedom, quotes from famous freedom fighters, and vignettes/quotes from people having experienced slavery as well as a variety of recipes. Regional recipes are shared from PA, the South, and other areas. This cookbook celebrated The Underground Railroad and all those living near it and participating in it. It reads like a history book as well as a cookbook. Highly recommended if you like cookbooks that share stories and anecdotes along with favorite recipes.

Circe
by Madeline Miller

book cover


I loved this book! The story touches on or at least mentions many of the gods and other recognizable figures from Greek mythology and really helped me understand how they connected. The story begins with Circe’s birth and life in the city with her family but then spends much time and attention on the island of Aeaea where she comes to terms with some old demons and charts the course for her future. If you like mythology, you will love this story.
