Wow! Highly Recommend

This exceeded my expectations in several ways. The story is complicated and interesting and unexpected. The writing is clever with enough ambiguity in the middle that you were kept guessing. Told entirely through electronic verbal communication from multiple viewpoints, it is a great listening performance.

Historia
Birdie Binkowitz is just a little bitter. As a young actress, she was the toast of Hollywood, definitely destined for greatness. Then the dragons had to rise up from their thousand-year slumber, take over Earth and ruin everything. Twenty years later, Birdie is living her worst life in her hometown of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, working at her father's Seed and Feed (and Bagels). Then, a mysterious dragon appears in front of the store seeking her help. He’s got a bone to pick with his fellow dragons–and he wants to hit them where it hurts.

Dragons in Tuscaloosa - Of course this was FUN!
Revisado: 08-17-23
I loved the Andrea Vernon books. I loved this Dragon book. Sure they are about superheros, dragons, mages, etc. but they are so much more. Modern, ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances. Buddy comedies. Found families. Heists. Adventure. Great dialogue. This male author must pay a lot of attention to the women in his life because he does a great job portraying flawed but capable, feisty women. He must have spent some time in the south also. He nails it - as if he is laughing with us - not at us. Highly recommend!

Historia
For Duffy Sinclair, life boils down to one simple thing: maintaining his residence at the idyllic Centennial Assisted Living. Without it, he’s destined for the roach-infested nursing home down the road. So, he keeps his shenanigans to the bare minimum with the help of his straight-laced best friend and roommate, Carl Upton. But when Carl’s granddaughter Josie climbs through their bedroom window with booze on her breath and a black eye, Duffy’s faced with trouble that’s sticking around and hard to hide.

Revisado: 01-31-23
I always enjoy novels about seniors and especially appreciate when they are written as fully formed complex characters. The author got it right on what it is like to live in an aging body while reminding us that the breadth of emotions do not diminish with age. The story was intriguing and emotional, I wish I could spend more time with these characters and I do plan to read more books by this author.

Historia
Three years after her mother’s death, Ruth is finally sorting through her things when she finds a curious relic: a decades-old photograph of her own Norfolk cottage—before she lived there—with a peculiar inscription on the back. Ruth returns to the cottage to uncover its meaning as Norfolk’s first cases of Covid-19 make headlines, leaving her and Kate to shelter in place there. They struggle to stave off isolation by clapping for frontline workers each evening and befriending a kind neighbor, Zoe, from a distance.

A very satisfying conclusion to the series!
Revisado: 12-25-22
I thoroughly enjoyed what is possibly the last in the Ruth stories. The author did a wonderful job calling back so many fond memories and leaving the people we’ve come to love in a positive place. While also accurately and sympathetically describing the events of the early Covid pandemic. I don’t think that I could have read this novel two years ago. The crisis was still too raw. Now, this story acts as a balm.

History happens all around you. And, occasionally, to you. I could have been a bomb-disposal expert, or a volunteer for the Mars mission, or a firefighter, something safe and sensible. But, no, I had to be an historian. It began well. A successful assignment to 17th century Cambridge to meet Isaac Newton, and another to witness the historic events at The Gates of Grief. So far so good.

I was not disappointed. This was another amazing book, full of well developed characters and realistic plot lines. I loved the deepening relationships and the end took me completely by surprise.

Historia
At first glance, the death of media mogul “Big Bill” Argosy appears to be suicide. But his widow, Laila, thinks otherwise. Because Big Bill made enemies - lots of them. And he’d rather fight to the death than take his own life. When the authorities refuse to investigate, Laila turns to the one person who can see connections in the universe where others can’t: Zip Ono, a young private investigator - and practicing Buddhist. Zip quickly learns that there’s no shortage of suspects who might very well want Argosy dead.

Repetitive, didn’t flow well.
Revisado: 03-16-21
It’s pretty good. But I didn’t believe the leaps at the end. No logical way to arrive at the evil doer. Far too much proselytizing. Enjoyed learning about Buddhism but the overexplaining was repetitive.

Tiffy and Leon share an apartment. Tiffy and Leon have never met. After a bad breakup, Tiffy Moore needs a place to live. Fast. And cheap. But the apartments in her budget have her wondering if astonishingly colored mold on the walls counts as art. Desperation makes her open minded, so she answers an ad for a flatshare. Leon, a night shift worker, will take the apartment during the day, and Tiffy can have it nights and weekends. He'll only ever be there when she's at the office. In fact, they'll never even have to meet.

Fun, but Substantial
Revisado: 09-08-20
I needed a break from multiple series about feisty women that are centered around a time of war. This was great! Light. Fun. Alternating voice kept it moving and interesting. I cared about the entire cast of very real people. But it’s not fluffy. It touched on the very real issues of insecurity and emotional abuse and flaws in any legal system. I’m sending it to friends and buying others from this author.

Brilliant writing and perfect performance by both women. I loved it and will gift it to my best friend. It is a wonderful immersion into the lives of two important women during an important time. They are not on a pedestal; the conversation is real. If you know women like this you rejoice in those friendships.

Historia
It's early 1938, and Maisie Dobbs is back in England. On a fine yet chilly morning, as she walks toward Fitzroy Square - a place of many memories - she is intercepted by Brian Huntley and Robert MacFarlane of the Secret Service. The German government has agreed to release a British subject from prison, but only if he is handed over to a family member. Because the man's wife is bedridden and his daughter has been killed in an accident, the Secret Service wants Maisie - who bears a striking resemblance to the daughter - to retrieve the man from Dachau....

I put off this one in the series for awhile, simply because I was tired of WWII. But I should have trusted Ms Winspear to offer a new perspective with grace and beauty.
