I read this book more than 30 years ago. I am starting again from the beginning so I can get caught up on the series. Reading about Lucas Davenport, from the very early days, feels like being reacquainted with an old friend.

This pulse-quickening thriller has me simultaneously wanting to put it down because I am afraid for the main character and not being able to put it down because I need to see how the story concludes. It’s like watching a scary movie with your hands covering your eyes. Of course, that makes it difficult to read.

This is a history class and a science class woven together to tell the story of one man who, I believe, was ahead of his time.

This is my second Riley Sager book and, like the first one I read, I have no idea who the bad guy/girl is. The reveal in the first book completely knocked my socks off. I haven’t even entertained any ideas about who it could be in this book. I do know that I had to stop reading last night and do something else before I went to bed lest I dream about the book.

This is a fun read! It’s a book within a book. It is also written in a light meta fiction style. This is my first fiction book with footnotes.

I have always liked the short chapters in Patterson books.

Even in “The Family Way,” our Molly finds herself in a precarious situation.

This is the second book I’ve read by Reeve Lindbergh. The first one was Under a Wing. That was many years ago.
She identifies her mother as her mentor in her writings. She has a true gift for sharing personal, painful, funny stories of the time shared with her mother as her mother approaches the end of her life. It is a story easily relatable to anyone who has lost loved ones.

Again, I don’t know what made me add this book to my to-read list. As I was reading it, I thought it was going to be a deep, over-my-head type of book.
It turned out to be a real story of people and community.
Both heartbreaking and funny, at times, it is a powerful read.

This is another book that I’m not sure how it found its way onto my list. It is not the type of book I typically read. Still, it appealed to me the more I read it.
Historical fiction, set in two different timelines, gives you an expectation that the two timelines will connect, overlap, and meet. And, they did.

I struggled with this book. I am going to watch the episode of the TV show now. This book storyline wasn’t familiar at all to me from what I watched.

I listened to this on audio. Ms Gordon-Reed shares the history of the celebration of Emancipation, the history of Texas, and her own personal anecdotes of her home state and the role it played in Juneteenth. I learned so much!

I fully expected to cry at some point while reading this book. It happened. It just didn’t happen where I expected it to be.

With only five chapters remaining, there was just another twist in the storyline that I did not see coming. The third book in the series finds our Molly working two cases, juggling feelings for two different men, and still feeling responsible for the family she reunited on her arrival in New York. It’s never a dull moment with Ms Murphy. I enjoy that the books are written first-person.

This is an absolutely interesting look at close friends of the president, going back to Thomas Jefferson and ending with Bill Clinton.
As is usually the case with books like this, I am taking notes and finding myself wanting to know more about these men who held the highest office in the land.

This is such a delightful book! I find myself agreeing so many times with the author about why we read, the barriers we put up to not read, and the guilt we feel for not reading.
Everyone should read this book!

If these walls could talk! It might be because there are recording devices. The history of the famous White House Situation Room is expertly told by Mr. Stephanopoulos.
From its beginnings during the Kennedy administration, this small room has held some of the nation’s best kept secrets.
This book is a refresher course on modern American History.
