very interesting and infuriating at the same time.. a true inspiration of advancement

I loved the book, excellent read!

A beautifully written story about a tragic event. After witnessing the fatal shooting of his older brother, Will feels he must follow the rules of his neighborhood and seek revenge. Will enters the elevator with a loaded gun to leave his building and kill the man that killed his brother. As the elevator stops at each floor, a deceased member of Will's family or neighborhood enters the elevator to tell their story. A must-read.

This is a very gruesome but captivating murder mystery written by JK Rowling under a pseudonym. I would recommend this book highly. Apparently, it is the second in a series about the main character detective, Cormoran Strike, that perhaps people might want to read first.

Regardless of politics, I've taken an interest in the story of every first lady to occupy the White House over the past few decades. Republican or Democrat, private or outspoken, they all have a unique story worth hearing. I'm glad Michelle Obama has released her autobiography. It didn't disappoint. Despite being an active first lady with an ambitious agenda, Obama was relatively reserved and private regarding her personal life. She really opens up in this new book. A lot of what she shared were anecdotes I found relatable, including the bumps along her road to motherhood. Much like Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, this book leads me to believe the Obamas may make an even greater impact now that they are out of the White House.

Something a little different from Martin Cruz Smith. Rather than a spy story, it's a love story set against the backdrop of Mussolini's Italy in the closing days of WWII. Sweet. I couldn't put it down.

Darby, a college student on her way home to visit her dying mother gets stranded at a rest stop during a blizzard with four strangers. She notices the van parked next to her car has a small child in an animal crate in the cargo area, she has to figure out how to save the child and herself. She tries to figure out who is the kidnapper, how to get help without cell service and get word to her family that she is in danger. I won't be stopping at a rest area any time soon after reading this thriller.

Interesting to learn the history of horse pack librarians and the history of “blue skin” people. This was a sad story of how a young woman was challenged by racism, ignorance, and poverty to not only survive but to make the world (her little horse pack route)a better place. It was frustrating to see how she tried so hard and was beaten down, but inspiring to see how she never gave up and ultimately succeeded.

I listened to the audiobook of this novel, and it was a fantastic performance - one of the best I've heard. These well developed characters are completely brought to life and I literally laughed out loud many times during a recent road trip.

This book was a very fast read because it was so enticing and enjoyable. Who wouldn't want to have three "nudges" to help those we love after we die? Especially if we could help our children! Very well written ( although I could have done without all the in depth descriptions of food) with some big surprises. I highly recommend this book.
