I've just started this latest #middlegrade book by Rob Keeley. It's great fun!

#BookReview – Kiss Her Goodbye by Lisa Gardner #KissHerGoodbye #FrankieElkin4 #Thriller #LibraryBook #BookSky #SecretLibraryBookBlog

Synopsis: "A young mother haunted by war, determined to make a fresh start. But sometimes, the sins of the past aren't so easy to escape. Recent Afghan refugee Sabera Ahmadi was last seen exiting her place of work three weeks ago. The local police have yet to open a case, while her older, domineering husband seems unconcerned. Sabera's closest friend, however, is convinced Sabera would never willingly leave her three‑year old daughter.

'Katie doesn't want to take revenge, she wants to ruin James's life and for me that went too far'

Got You Back by Jane Fallon #BookReview

Got You Back by Jane Fallon #BookReview

A husband. A wife. A mistress. And the ultimate plan for revenge . . . The husband James never intended to lead a double life - with a wife in London and a mistress in the country, it's exhausting. But that's all about to change . . . The wife Stephanie isn't really snooping when she finds a text message from a strange woman on her husband's mobile.

Autumn Reads: Lauryn Harper Falls Apart, The Second Story Bookshop, The Cinnamon Spice Inn, and The Simplicity of Cider #BookReview #Audiobook

I don't always read seasonally, but this year, it seemed like a good thing to do. One book about a new beginning and an apple festival, another about a death of a loved one who manipulates her granddaughter's love life from the grave, another second chance romance when a young woman returns home to save her family's inn, and finally a book dealing with trying to save an apple orchard while using a bit of magic to make unforgettable apple cider.

Mini-Reviews of Books I Read on My Cruise: We All Live Here, The Berry Pickers, The Secret of Orange Blossom Cake and The Queen and I #BookReview

I was thrilled to see the wonderful library on our ship, The Oosterdam from Holland America. They had some books that I had on my TBR shelf, but hadn't gotten to yet. Although I did have my kindle with me, I also read three books from the library. I really enjoyed the variety.

Historical Fiction: The Lawyer and the Laundress and Wartime Comes to West India Dock Road #BookReview #Audiobook

Version 1.0.0 I do enjoy a good historical fiction book and these two fit the bill. They are very different, one set in Toronto, Canada around the time of the Upper Canada Rebellion in 1837 and the second in London, England during WW2. Both had great characters and I enjoyed listening to them.

Saturday Morning for Kids: Banned Books Addition

This meme was started by Rae Longest at Powerful Women Readers, but as she is busy with her bookstore, she is not posting as much and asked me to take over. I hope some of you will join in and post those reviews of children's or middle grade books on Saturdays. As I am a grandmother, who loves to read to her grandchildren, a mother who loved to read to and with her children, and a retired teacher librarian, this meme is right up my alley.
