Such a charming book! As an English teacher, I felt drawn to Bob Lehrer and could image being a teacher at Baldwin High School. Sometimes I felt like the author
must have worked at the same high school I did! I could picture the teachers, students, PTO president and even the custodian. She reminded me of the one who cleaned my classroom most recently. I look forward to reading more by Jennifer Mathieu.

Love this series and Alexander McCall Smith’s writing!

This was an interesting novel. Although based on a real midwife in the late 1700’s, it seems like a more modern tale to me. Midwifery has always interested me and my past birth was attended by a midwife. I liked Martha and Ephraim immensely. The story has mystery, love, and animals, which made it very enjoyable for me. Love the ending.

Lovely story about books, friendship, love and loss during the Blitz in London.

Loved it!

This is the best book of the series! I laughed out loud in places, but there is still plenty of mystery and a bit of sadness too. I love the way Richard Osman writes!

This is a wonderful account of the life of the Marquis de Lafayette. I never knew much about this brave man, who came to the Colonies to help in the war against England. He then went back to France and worked to save it up until he died.

This was a remarkable story of the ten Boom family’s belief in God, even through the horrors of the Holocaust arriving in Holland. They were part of the Underground, helping Jewish people to safety, and for that they were sent to a concentration camp. They never stopped thanking God for any little mercy. A very uplifting story.

I’m
Learning a lot of Holland during WWII and the Resistance.

I learned so much about Martha Jefferson and her father.

This book was wonderful historical fiction.

This novel is an amazing book that never earned Anne Brontë her Sue acclaim due to the subject matter. She was so brave to write this. It is well written and has mystery, intrigue and all the hallmarks of Victorian England, with small town gossip, expectations of women’s behavior, and scandal, all set around an abandoned manor house.

Wonderful sequel to ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ and quite a page turner!

I am enjoying my this book very much.

This was a charming story of a fictional English town in the Victoria. Period. It had wit, humor, drama, broken hearts, births and deaths. You get a picture of what it was like for the average person, what they were afraid of, how they handled social situations, and how they helped each other through the difficult times. A great read by a female author of that time period.

It was interesting, especially the part that takes place in Austin. There was a lot of repetition and it got pretty unbelievable 3/4s of the way through.

It was an interesting read about places in Texas. The illustrations are fantastic!

I just finished The Thursday Murder Club: A Novel (A Thursday Murder Club Mystery Book 1) and gave it 5 stars.

This book was hard for me to get into but I enjoyed it.

Such an important story. Michelle Kuo is an excellent writer. I feel like I know her and Patrick and have been to Helena.

I enjoying his book, as I do all of Bill Bryson’s books. This one is highly detailed, although very informative. Between my book club books, I return to The Body.
