This is a book that 1) Uses just the right number of words to say what it needs to, 2) Can tell a beautiful story set in the harshness of a poor community in Ireland, and 3) Can beautifully contrast the very best and very worst of human behavior. In short, this is an amazing book, and I will be reading more by this author.

It's amazing to me how someone went from the top comedian to off the air a decade later. Overall, well written.

This is a new author for me and I loved this book. The central character is a part-time college librarian who has a cat that goes everywhere with him. His college is hosting a librarian’s convention at which someone who is hated by everyone is murdered, making everyone at the convention a suspect. The central character has a knack for solving crimes and is instrumental in helping the police with this one. A good and interesting plot with good characters. I look forward to reading something else by this author.

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.

book cover


Days before his college graduation, Alice calls Harry (step son) with shocking news. His father is dead and the police think it’s suicide. Devastated, Harry returns to his father’s home in Maine. There, he and Alice will help each other pick up of the pieces of their lives and uncover what happened to his father, however, the author provides so many twists and turns. Maybe you can predict some of them, maybe not........truly enjoyed the book and did something I don't often do: seek out the same author for multiple reads.
