Safe Harbor
by Luanne Rice

A nice story, although a little sad. Not as well written as some other authors I've read, but a pleasant read overall.

Short and absolutely like an episode of looney tunes
Madness

many books about institutionalization try to take a side on either institutionalization or deinstitutionalization - this book walks the line between both - emphasizing the major failures of both, because the reality is that both failed in catastrophic ways. finished this one on July 11th.
Death By Chocolate Raspberry Scone
by Sarah Graves

Sarah's writing voice comes out in her character's personalities. This was my first book, and based on their actions, I was able to determine a lot about them. So many things going on - main focus being to solve a murder with her best friend EIllie.
A River in Darkness

Incredible true story of a half Japanese/half Korean man who was born in Japan in poverty. He and his family were convinced (with many lies) to move to North Korea to have a better life. They ended living in worse conditions barely or not surviving. The author through crazy traumatic experiences managed to escape North Korea so he could go to Japan to work and send money to his family so they would not starve to death. His journey was unbelievably brave and horribly sad. I respect that he was able to share his experience and the truth of what happens in North Korea. A tragic life story Written beautifully.
Yesteryear

I had to see whether this book lived up to the hype and chose it as my beach read. I was sorely disappointed with the lack of depth with the characters. So many stereo-types! There just wasn't enough satire here for me to make all the extremely unlikable characters more interesting. The ending made no sense at all, and it felt like the author chose the topic of "trad wives" because of the zeitgeist of the time, but failed to deliver a novel that really had anything to say. So disappointing!
A Walk in the Park

I truly enjoyed this book as it combined the history of the Grand Canyon, a great adventure story, while being humble and exciting at the same time!
Small Town Horror

I chose this for the horror box on the bingo board and it was a great choice! Excellent suspense and creepy factors and great twists! I really enjoyed this one!
The secret keeper of Main Street

Fast paced book with short chapters. All characters were well developed and interesting how the storylines were connected
