The Perfect Nanny: A Novel
The Perfect Nanny: A Novel

Review:This book was different from what I expected. I thought I was going to be reading a typical thriller type of novel but that's not what I found . The nanny is just plain weird . The people for whom she works are also unusual . The children are not very likable .

To me this is a book that would be interesting to people who have an interest in psychological novels that aren't necessarily thrillers. The workings of these peoples minds was interesting to me but people didn't think in the same... Read more

The Widows of Malabar Hill (A Mystery of 1920s India)
The Widows of Malabar Hill (A Mystery of 1920s India)

Review:Having been a fan of Sujata Massey's award-winning Rei Shimura mystery series, I was thrilled to hear about this first Perveen Mistry mystery set in 1920s Bombay, India. There are two interwoven timelines in The Widows of Malabar Hill. One is present-day Bombay in 1921 which shows us Perveen working hard to become an integral part of her father's law firm. The second timeline takes us back to 1916 so we can learn what happened to Perveen to make her the woman she is five years later.

The Music Shop: A Novel
The Music Shop: A Novel

Review:If anyone can relate to Author Rachel Joyce’s novel The Music Shop it would be aficionados of old school record buying and the corner record store that carried vinyl records of old and new. While reading the story it is not limited to record stores but to any place that one can relate such as regularly visited places where there is a common connection – comic book readers to a comic bookstore or book lovers to a bookstore, one gets the gist. And as one sees the commonalities, it is also about ... Read more

The Wedding Date
The Wedding Date

Review:Amazon suggests some questions when writing a review, so I’ll just answer those:
- What did you like or dislike? Likes: first and foremost, I think this book has captured the rosiness and uncertainty of falling in love possibly better than anything I have ever read. This book evoked the feelings of falling in love (both good and bad) so much that it was way more affecting than I thought it was going to be. Second favorite thing was that I loved how the dialogue/narration from the characters w... Read more

another romance for the over 40 (#sexysilverfoxes)

Review:I adored this story. Hank and Midge have a great story to tell and one that will have you swooning, crying, laughing, shaking your head and having all of the feels. It's great that you can continue with the characters from After Care in this story. So much of their lives are built on from their past, but the struggle is learning from, not quite forgetting about it, and moving on from it. Hank especially has to let it go and evolve into his new reality. he's learned a lot of life lessons, bu... Read more

Everything Here Is Beautiful
Everything Here Is Beautiful

Review:Everything Here is Beautiful is a moving and accurate portrayal of what it is like to walk with a loved one through mental illness. Mira Lee's words describe so well what can be indescribable to people who have not shared this experience. When I read this book I felt understood. This book is a must read for anyone with a family member who suffers from mental illness or for people who would like to understand what life can be like for individuals who suffer from mental illness and their family me...
