I am an avid reader, always have something going but don't get to read as much as I'd like. I am a library sub in a school district and enjoy interacting with the kids about books also. Besides reading I love to do cross stitch, knitting, crochet and whatever else catches my fancy.

    “Ivy is traveling around in her motorhome when she spots the Braxton's trailing her. She loses them and winds up in a small town in Oklahoma. She decides to stick around for a while and make some money before moving on again. A knock on her door surprises her when she opens it to find a young girl, Abilene, running from her abusive husband.

    They both decide to see if they can be caretakers at a farm out in the boonies. When they go to apply, they find two people dead. The police say it's suicide and the people's son Frank agrees. He allows Ivy and Abilene to stay on and take care of the property but evidence is building up and Ivy is not so sure it was a suicide.”

    “I really liked most of this book, such a tragic story. It has made me want to read more about the Romanov's. There were some parts that really turned me cold, but I don't want to give anything away. ”

  • A Crack in Forever
    • Rated 4 stars

    “A very touching love story. This is the story of Alexandra and Eric who meet and fall in love. Eric contracts AIDS (not giving anything away here, it's in the synopsis) from a previous relationship. This book also is about the prejudices against people with the disease. Get out the tissues, you will need it for this story.”

    “This was an very good first time author read for me. Mayer's writing keeps you wanting to turn pages to see what piece of the puzzle will be revealed next.

    Lt. Joe Gunther is called into a murder in the middle of the night. An older woman has shot a man in the face with a shotgun. She said someone was threatening to do her harm and when this guy showed up at her door, she shot him. Turns out they both served on the same jury for a murder that occurred 4 years previously of a young girl. A black man was convicted of the crime and is serving time for it. After a few more people from the jury are assaulted, Joe reopens the case.

    I will look for more by this author.”

    “This was a pretty good read based on the premise that a person could go back in time and keep JFK from assassination. Some parts were a bit windy and the ending wrapped up rather quickly compared to the rest of the book but overall it was a good read. King's descriptions of the time period really brought back some good memories.

    Jake visits a diner regularly and has become fairly acquainted with Al the owner. Al is looking really bad since just the day before when Jake was in, as if he'd been ill a long time. Al takes Jake into his confidence and shows him a portal into the past. Al has wanted to change history and save JFK. He convinces Jake to do it.

    Jake discovers a world totally new to him since he had not been born yet in 1958. It's always June 1958 when he crosses over, and Jake takes on the task.”

    “This was an audio book I had laying around. Unfortunately it was an abridged version but even so was a very good listen. It was a thriller that kept me wanting to listen.

    Dave Elliott is a retired Marine who is married to his second wife and lives a rather usual life. He runs in the morning, then goes to work and showers there and changes clothes. He follows the same routine most days but this morning when he opens his bosses door, he is met with a gun. Dave has no idea what's going on but is able to elude his boss. Down the hall, another employee goes after him and then floor where his office is is filled with military men trying to get Dave.

    He has no idea what is going on and must use all his ex skills to help him escape. Even his family is trying to get him to give himself up "for his own good". Quite the thriller.”

  • Dance of Death
    • Rated 4 stars

    “Aloysius and his evil brother Diogenes are in a battle of wits. Diogenes is killing those closest to Aloysius and leaving clues that implicate Aloysius.
    D'Agosta is trying to help Aloysius but is putting himself in danger as well.

    This book has a lot going on and keeps you turning pages until the end.”
