This is such a good mystery.

This very interesting novel flew back to the cloud when I had only a few chapters to read. That was ages ago. It is a very popular book. The theme is the Global Pandemic in 2020.

I am three quarters of the way through Count the Ways. If life following divorce is as emotionally upsetting as the novel so perfectly displays then it should be done only after great effort to strengthen the marriage. I’m saddened by what I am reading even though I know it is not a true tale. It does however represent how many women must feel in the aftermath of the marriage breakdown.

I am half way through Count the Ways. By the title I imagined it would be a story of a couple who love each other. It’s not, at least not in the middle of the book. It’s about the end of a marriage.

This is one of the most exciting books I've read in ages.

A well researched biography of a wicked politician.

This is an exceptionally good novel. I’m enthralled by the family mystery which occurred generations ago.

This is exactly the kind of book I was looking for. A cheer me up kind of novel; a boy meets girl love story.

This the third book in the trilogy is the most interesting one I think. It involves the poisoning of the town’s water supply.

I'm caught up in the solving of the mystery but there are so many new characters in this second book of the series that I'm having trouble keeping them all straight.

This is some of the strongest writing I’ve ever read. I just read a description of the emptying and burning of a hamlet during the Vietnam War. A horrible event, narrated by a young soldier. He disobeyed orders which he knew broke laws of war and of morality.

Linwood Barclays writes in a friendly manner with cheerful and funny dialogue that is a welcome break from many of today’s writers who keep you on the edge of your chair.

This fourth book in the Lisbeth Salander series further explains why Lisbeth, the genius, behaves the way she does. It introduces an autistic boy who has savant skills with numbers and a photographic memory. I like seeing the child’s skills being discovered.

I love Moriarty's sense of humour. Example: "She could just make out the figure of Maureen (her future mother in law) picking her way carefully across the sand as if watching out for land mines." She is able to give you an image of the situation and always in a fun, and witty way.

I don’t want the book to end.

As always Liane Moriarty can bring humour to ordinary daily circumstances. What isn't ordinary is a full blown case of amnesia. Sometimes losing ones memory can be a win-win for a married couple.

I’m well into Salem Falls, at a part where the anticipation of what will happen next has accelerated. Each of the characters have been developed to the point where we see good versing evil. Of course I am cheering for good to prevail.

Oh my gosh this is an amazing true look into the hiding required by Jewish families in Europe during the 1940s.

I’m nearly finished and have thought of three different endings all of them have their pluses and minuses. Do we follow our heart in making the big decisions even if it could be all wrong or do we not? I can’t wait to see what young mother Charlotte decides.

I'm enjoying learning new ways of looking at life. The telling of the tale of the Mexican fisherman is perfect.

This is an excellent book. Van Jones analyzes why Hilary lost in 2016 and how the Democrats must adapt if they are to win in 2020.
