I went radio silent for the almost six weeks I was walking the Camino, mostly because I couldn't carry the weight of a laptop. When I got back home, I sent a brief email summarizing what might have been the most interesting thing I've ever done. A few years later my friend Phil asked me to write a book about my walk. So, I did. (less)

What a journey!

The five-star bits: the writing is great. The plot took a few turns that were interesting. I was very invested, thinking about the characters when I wasn't reading.

The three-star bits: Cherry was a little annoying, and I don't love it

If this book were 300 pages instead of 400, it would be a 5-star read.

What I liked: the writing was great. The central mystery was compelling - how did Natalie get transported to the past - was she in a coma? is this a dream? Reincarnation in reverse

I really enjoyed this book. I'm certainly in the target market, which is middle-aged women who grew up in the era of boy bands. Straub completely nailed the cruise ship vibe. ...more

4.5 rounded up to 5 stars. Wow - what a ride! This was Gone Girl on steroids. You have to pay close attention to the story threads and feel comfortable with not knowing what is going on for most of the book, right up (literally) to the last page.

Falling Darkness by Zara Evans

3.5 rounded down to 3 stars. This felt like the script to a Lifetime movie. No shade. If you like mystery/thrillers with some romance and a side of improbable villains, this could be your jam. One of the better KU books.

Romancing Daphne by Sarah M. Eden

3.5 rounded down to 3 stars. This series is sweet with interesting characters. That said, this book was a little...boring? Some books over-rely on lather-rinse-repeat scenes, and this book fell victim to that sort of writing.

Gone Forever by Scott Blade

Fans of Jack Reacher will enjoy this fan fiction featuring Reacher's unknowing son. He's got Reacher's physique, military background, and desire for justice. I had a good time, but won't necessarily jump into the next book in the series. ...more

I put this on hold at the library after seeing it on a list, but didn't really know anything about it. When I started reading, I thought, "What the heck is this?" But it got weirder and funnier in all of the best ways. By

The Dark Time by Nick Petrie

Anytime you read a series, you like some books better than others. This is the Peter Ash I want all of the time - in a straight-forward race against both time and the bad guys thriller. Minimal emoting. Lots of action.

The Tree of Light and Flowers by Thomas Perry

Oh gosh - I love this series so, so much. Just as I finished I realized that this was the last book, both because Perry wrote it that way and because he recently passed away.

It was wrapped up beautifully, with one last compelling adventure. I loved
