This book is a great example of how one spouse can abuse the other by turning their child against them. In this case, the daughter might not believe all she’s been told.

This is a very important book for anyone living with or has a boss or co-worker who is a psychologically abusive person. It comes out in January 2026. I highly recommend it.

From the first pages, Robert Wolf puts the reader in the world of his family before and during WW II in Hungary.

I’m so glad my sister told me about this series. It’s fantastic.

I forgot to add this book while I was on vacation. It's by one of my Story-Power podcast guests and I loved it. I hope she writes a sequel or prequel to the book. The world building and characterizations are wonderful.

I love this book so far. I'm intrigued and can't wait to find out where the book ends up.

This is an iconic book. I enjoyed reading it again.

This one was quite different than the rest. I liked it very much.

I got so involved in this book and the next one that I forgot to make any comments. These last books have a little bit different plot outlines, which is fun.

This book is by one of future Story-Power guests. I started it a few days ago and am having a hard time putting it down. Sandra and I are going to have a wonderful conversation.

These comfort mysteries are page turners.

These comfort reads are page turners.

The structure of this book interesting. A great thing about it is that almost all the characters are old or middle aged.

This is the book I read when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep.

I'm listening to the audiobook. I like the narrator very much, but I'm not used to audiobooks. Since we play quiet sounds when we sleep, I can only listen to a couple of chapters a night. The structure of the book is interesting.

I loved the mini-series and I loved the book. They aren't exactly the same, but the mini-series captured the themes of the book, which to my mind is always a good thing. After all they are two different mediums.

Karen's memoir is full of love, drama, pain and suffering, and self-reflection. Though these are elements of most of our lives, Karen's life journey is unique and affecting. I don't know about you, but I love learning about other people's experiences so I can learn more about my own.

This book was recommended to me by two people and I'm glad I listened to them and read it. It's just my kind of book, two storylines in two different time periods with a little bit of magic thrown in. I loved it and highly recommend it.

I love that Maria Grace wrote this little prequel novella for the World Wrights series. I love the Birdy character and her relationship with Rebecca. They now have a backstory.

The Dead Rock Stars is by two of my Story-Power podcast guests, Jay Watson and Kyle Wiltshire. It's a fun story with lots of "dead" rock stars acting as secret agents trying to save the world from the Y2K threat as the new Century approaches. They left it open for a sequel and I hope they write it. I highly recommend this book.

I am looking forward to reading this book since chatting with Jay and Kyle on my Story-Power podcast. It was a fun conversation. I think the book will be fun too.

I have not been good at progress postings. I wasn't sure I wanted to finish this book at first. it took almost half way through before I felt full invested. But in the end the story was engaging. The author left space for a sequel and I'll read it if she publishes one. This one had lots of world building to do, the next one should have lots of fun with the characters.

This was a wonderful snapshot of women in history and how they had to deal with the abusive men in their lives, juxtaposed with a modern woman in a similar situation. I liked this book a lot and I highly recommend it.

This is the third in Ellen's Jerusalem Mysteries books and everyone of them has been fabulous. I am learning a lot as well as enjoying the book.

I had forgotten how informative this book is. I love that it's based in science but applies to how and why we react to external stimuli the way we do.

I read this book many years ago. It just seems like a good time to read it again.

I have mixed feelings about this book. It has a great theme and important things to say about the abuse women suffer and how they feel about it and deal with it. However, it didn't feel to me as if anything go resolved.
