I love a story based on true facts and I loved this author's last book called Before We Were Yours, so I was pretty sure I was going to love this book too. I was right and I would really recommend everyone read this.

I don't always love James Patterson's books, but I have loved nearly every book in The Women's Murder Club series. I like the characters and the books move at a good speed.
I would say YES to this one.

This can be read as a stand alone from the series and I really liked it. There was some complexity in the plot which made it really interesting and I loved the strong female characters. I would recommend this one for sure.

If you love stories about families that focus on the characters and relationships between family members, you will enjoy this book. Anne Tyler seems to specialize in this type of thing and she is right on the mark with this book.

I have loved almost all the books in this long series. They are a good mix of suspense and romance and I always enjoy the characters. I always look forward to the next book. It never seems to get old.

This was a compassionate look at the issue of hoarding. It was occasionally uncomfortable to read because it really makes you look at your own attachment to "stuff". This was really interesting and well done.

You might think you have read enough WWII/Holocaust fiction but this is a must read. It is incredibly moving and powerful.

If you have any love of mythology, you need to read this lovely story of the friendship and love between Achilles and Patroclus. This is a beautifully written love story set within a time honoured legend.

This book covers a lot of ground. It's a little different from anything else I've ever read and I was pulled right into the story. Although it was generally good, I thought there were a few parts that were excellent. In particular, the part of the book that deals with her uncle left quite an impression on me.This book covers a lot of ground.

This is Irish humour at it's very best. This the second of a trilogy of books about the Browne family. They are all very quick reads. You will laugh through the whole book, except for the odd moment when you might tear up. You have to read these books.This is Irish humour at it's very best.

This book has a super opening line and really good characters. Despite the fact that I didn't care for the switches between 1st and 3rd person, it was very well written. The author has a way with words.

Wow, this was more than I bargained for. The book description doesn't come close to describing the intensity of this book. I would recommend this one for sure. It will stay with you for days after you read it.

A good time of the year to read this. It's a short but touching reminder of how to find the silver lining in the cloud of life. We all need a few survival lessons from time to time.

A memoir from a woman who has lost 5 men in her life due to social conditions pertaining to poverty and racism. A social commentary that will stir you up. I thought this was very good.

This book is written by J.K. Rowling, apparently under the pseudonym of Robert Galbraith. I read this book out of curiosity and I have to say I really liked it. Cormoran Strike is a really great character.
