Persevere

Revisado: 02-28-25

Half way through I wanted to dope slap one of the main characters but persevered and you should too….After that I couldn’t put it down. Now I can go and walk the dogs who have been patiently waiting for me….

If you have been dead for 93 Years

Revisado: 04-06-19

Then this book will catch you up on bits of the British monarchy progression from the 1900’s to 2017, otherwise you’ve heard it all before.

Plot full of Twists and Turns

Revisado: 02-14-19

This is a plot filled with twists and turns and I dare you to guess the ending before the authors choose to reveal it to you. This mother/son combo are past masters of suspense and weave a very tight plot. I look forward to each new offering with pleasure.

Don’t Miss this one

Revisado: 11-24-18

This is the winsome story of a penguin who adopted a 23 year old and an entire school of boys. Tom Michell had the rare chance to adopt a penguin who would have died otherwise, covered in oil from a ship binging its tanks.
Tom goes to Argentina to teach at a British boarding school and while exploring the countryside finds 100’s of beached oil covered penguins washed up in a bay. Suddenly movement catches his eye, one is alive. He impulsively takes the bird home and washes his feathers free of oil. He tries to reintroduce the bird to the ocean but the bird won’t budge from his side.
Here begins the lovely and gentle story of a penguin whose heart embraces and entire boarding school.

Corny!

Revisado: 11-03-18

This story has everything - a bit of romance, predetermined culprit, sleuth bookshop owner, and cats. There really isn’t much mystery and the heroine is pretty dense.

Wonderful and Inspiring Book

Revisado: 10-11-18

The next time you hear someone whining about the unfairness of life, give them this book. The author was raised in poverty but through grit and perseverance he helped his country despite that country having kicked him in the teeth many times. Chester Nez loved his country and gave it his all. Truly an inspiring story.

Thoughtful Look at Nazi Occupation from a Guernsey Perspective

Revisado: 09-29-18

This is a well researched study of the 5 years of Nazi occupation of the Channel Islands as seen through the diaries and letters of Guernsey people. While there are inclusions about events in the other islands the focus is really on Guernsey. It is a fascinating, not sentimental look at life and events of those days.
Well written and researched, I recommend it for anyone interested in the Channel Islands as one would be hard pressed to understand the Islands without this background
