Really drawn out romance
Revisado: 05-02-25
I generally enjoy Jenny Colgan’s books but this series has so far been painful. Teenage romance, dumb decisions and adult dumb decisions. I didn’t really like the main character and wanted to tell, “just get on with it!” I won’t listen to any more in the series, if there are more to come.

Predictable and didn’t really hold my attention. I just wanted to get to the end, hoping it would get better. It didn’t…

Historia
Christmas is approaching, and in Québec it's a time of dazzling snowfalls, bright lights, and gatherings with friends in front of blazing hearths. But shadows are falling on the usually festive season for Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. Most of his best agents have left the Homicide Department, his old friend and lieutenant Jean-Guy Beauvoir hasn't spoken to him in months, and hostile forces are lining up against him. When Gamache receives a message from Myrna Landers that a longtime friend has failed to arrive for Christmas in the village of Three Pines, he welcomes the chance to get away.

I’m almost always surprised!
Revisado: 03-25-24
I am hooked on the Gamache series, and always ready to move to the next book. Mostly, I so appreciate that I often cannot figure out the end of the story! Especially with a series, by the same author, I can often see the pattern and anticipate the story. I love that! Ms. Penny is such good writer and I really appreciate the complexity, the literary and art and scriptural references. She knows her audience has a broad knowledge base and never “dumbs it down.” Thank you, and please keep writing!

Shocking news reaches them—an old friend has been killed, and a dangerous package he was protecting has gone missing. The gang's search leads them into the antiques business, where the tricks of the trade are as old as the objects themselves.

Thank you for the gift of these rich characters! Most of all, thank you to Mr Osman for one of the most beautifully written scenes I’ve read in a long time (most recently in The Covenant of Water). Truly, moved to tears… thank you.

Too religious for me
Revisado: 12-19-23
This was not what I expected… it was an interesting story with unexpected directions in the plot. But, it was not advertised as an evangelizing book. It’s ok, I just would like to have know that up front…

Historia
Harry Houdini's onetime apprentice holds fantastic secrets about the greatest illusionist in the world. But someone wants to claim them...or silence her before she can reveal them on her own. Boston, 1926. Jenny "Wren" Lockhart is a bold eccentric - even for a female vaudevillian. As notorious for her inherited wealth and gentleman's dress as she is for her unsavory upbringing in the back halls of a vaudeville theater, Wren lives in a world that challenges all manner of conventions.

Not one of my favorites…
Revisado: 11-18-23
For reasons I can’t quite put my finger on, I was disappointed with this book. Not sure if it was the narration - unclear accents,
or the story- choppy narrative,
or what… it was just kind of flat…

Not my favorite
Revisado: 10-29-23
I enjoyed the first book, and the overall storyline of this book was interesting, but it felt pretty elementary. The thing that bugged me most, given this is an audible book, was an entire chapter that read the headings of communications (email?). It wasn’t necessary and became really annoying.
I will still listen to the third book in the series… hope it’s a little better.

The world outside has grown toxic, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. The remnants of humanity live underground in a single silo. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they want: They are allowed to go outside.

From the legendary actor and best-selling author: a novel about the making of a star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film...and the humble comic books that inspired it. Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought-provoking, while also capturing the changes in America and American culture since World War II.

We’ll written, told like no other story… you get a sense of all the work that goes into making a major motion picture, and it’s personal too. It’s a great story, with a beginning, middle and end. And of course, with Tim Hanks narrating the majority, it was even better. Thank you so much!
