Have to take points off because I don’t understand why pretend suicide and transferring money would have a trail plus all the name changes.

Jackie is starting The Berry Pickers
I have not finished this book but must note most of these reviews are book reports. You would think an avid reader would know the difference.

Jackie is starting Such a Good Family
It was just too yucky for me with all the sex and depraved thoughts. Yes, I know. It happens but I read for escape and this is a book I wanted to escape from.
Skimmed and the ending was sad and depressing. Life is too hard to read books like this.

Jackie is starting The Pearl of Penang
I tried to like this story but it was all over the place. I got tired of the rude husband, mean girls, ridiculous situations and boring repeat scenes. Needs editing.

The shoe thing was quite smart in keeping you from knowing who died
Author did good job developing each character until it all ties together

Jackie is starting Forging the Shilling Girl (The Hudsons Victorian saga Book 1)
Very disappointing. Sex became the main course half way through. Why? It was such a good sound story of education and advancement for women only to have a young woman fall in bed with a married man. I also did not understand the 18 year wait for the two main characters to marry.

Jackie is starting Sheltering Angel: A Novel Based on a True Story of the Titanic
Enjoying but the newspaper headlines at the beginning of each chapter are very annoying and distracting.

Jackie is starting If He Had Been with Me
So when did best sellers become teeny bopper books? This was the most trivial bunch of words and story ever written. DNF

Jackie is starting The Lost Bookshop
This is the most vague book. The author cannot seem to finish a thought. I absolutely thought the characters were shallow and boring. If only the author would have went deeper and wrote less boring passages.

Such a great story. Full of history, adventure, relationships and a few mysteries. The surprise ending was a bonus.

Jackie is starting A Class Apart (A Matter of Class, #1)
This is romance not historical fiction. Frustrating predicaments, tragedies abound, and poverty.
Not very enjoyable.
