  • The Shape of Mercy
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Susan Meissner pens a heart tugging tale of women dealing with the weakness of our culture to judge based on emotion or what we see, what we WANT to believe. The historical perspective of Mercy is touching and haunting, but a reminder of where we go as a society when we live by our fears and emotions.

    Lauren and Abigail's story is one of friendship and discovering something about themselves as they learn more and more about Mercy.

    Meissner's writing is lovely. Her story telling complete.

    I highly recommend this book!”

  • After You'd Gone
    • Rated 4 stars

    “I love Maggie O'Farrell's writing. She speaks to me. I bought this book after reading "The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox."

    While I'm still enchanted with O'Farrell, she's a brilliant writer, I felt the pace of After You'd Gone was slower than Esme and it was harder to stay focused.

    However, great writing, great story. I highly recommend.”

  • The Kite Runner
    • Rated 5 stars

    “I loved the writing and detail of this book. I disliked Amir as a boy, but grew more fond of him as he grew into a man.

    The political detail is fascinating and makes this a book a must read for Americans. We take our freedom for granted.

    Some of the ending details seemed a little outlandish, even for fiction. Like, Amir finding his friend Hassam's son being abused by the same man who abused him and Hassam as teens.

    Some of the musing toward the end, I skimmed, but the book is utterly engaging and real.”

  • Welcome to Fred: A Novel
    • Rated 5 stars

    “This coming of age story about a PK (preacher's kid) finds himself in a small Texas town where his hip huggers and bell bottoms don't quite fit in with the farming, jeans-wearing, flannel shirt town.

    Mark Cloud discovers his way with friends and faith. Well written, funny, quirky and insightful, Welcome to Fred, is a must read.”

  • Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
    • Rated 3 stars

    “Entertaining and well written, a fun read but not one I'd give to a teen. While Brashares tried to show the let down of casual sex (the girl was 15,) I'm not sure the average teen girl would get that.

    Loved the common thread of the "pants" but was really grossed out that each girl wore the pants and they weren't allow to wash them. I love my girlfriends, but not that much. ;)

    ”

  • Dream When You're Feeling Blue
    • Rated 4 stars

    “I loved this book, though the ending felt rushed and unsatisfying. Berg took a unique chance not to give us the cliche ending, but it's one I think we all wanted.

    History and feeling of the WW2 generation done well and tugged at my heart. The book is worth the read just for that.

    I highly recommend.”
