A short, very sweet novella

Revisado: 04-20-25

A sweet short novella worth a read. I like getting to know these characters in this second book in the series.

Well worth reading, but, be warned, contains triggers

Revisado: 12-09-23

This one was very hard to get through! Not only was it a long book, but it was emotionally difficult as well. I put it down several times, then started listening to the audio. Being an audiophile, the audio was easier for me to get through the novel. Many times, audio allows me to envision the story as it plays out, similar to a movie playing in my head. The downside of that for me in this book was the intense emotional turmoil I felt during Jude’s difficult life events, as well as his physical and emotional pain.
The writing is wonderful and I can see why it won awards and accolades. This book and its characters will stay with me for long time. It is well worth reading, but be warned, it contains many triggers.

Worth a listen

Revisado: 09-03-23

This short story by Ruth Ware is Kindle Unlimited book and is definitely worth a listen. It’s a different type of story for Ware.

Slow, but thought-provoking

Revisado: 06-24-23

Slow, but thought-provoking. Even though Lucy is initially childish and whiny, I love the conclusions she eventually reaches. I love how Strout interweaves characters from her other books into this novel.

Fiona Davis/Carnegie Hall

Revisado: 06-09-23

A short novella that is part of Kindle unlimited’s A Point in Time series. I love Fiona Davis and have read or listened to all of her books. Since this one was so short, it lacked Fiona Davis’ wonderful ability to capture the details that make me feel as if I am living within the plot. the pianist’s emotions were still felt and the Carnegie building explored, just not as much as I would have liked.

Keep reading, it gets better

Revisado: 01-22-23

This one was a slow start and I put the book down several times. Since I have always liked Emma Donoghue books, I finally decided to listen to the book. I’m glad I did! The narrator was easy to listen to and made the book more interesting. Give it a listen!

A great short story by Alice Hoffman

Revisado: 01-21-23

A great short story by one of my favorite authors, Alice Hoffman. I fell in love with young Adeline, the main character, on page one.

Predictable, but…

Revisado: 10-13-22

Okay… I read it. Yes, it was predictable. No, it wasn’t fabulous, but it did have a plot twist that kept me reading until I figured it out and finished it. And it had scenes that will stay in my mind for a good while. I can’t say that it was enjoyable, but it had passages that held my interest.

Predictable romance with an interesting subplot

Revisado: 10-11-22

A predictable romance with a fantastical subplot. I found Ursa quite endearing, but was also troubled by the adults’ somewhat acceptance of her just showing up and hanging around for days on end.
