so-so3.5
Packed full of knowledge. Woke takes the reader on a journey of what all these words actually mean. Stackhouse wrote it in a way that the average person can understand. It's in two parts. The first dealing with the terminology of the words. The second part deals with how to deal with these terms in everyday life. I found it interesting, though it did get bogged down with so much info.

so-soInteresting, but the proof errors were just too much for me. Incomplete sentences that the rest of the sentence would appear two or three pages earlier or later. Of course, mine is an ARC, so hopefully, it will be fixed by the time it hits bookshelves. I'm giving it a so-so bc I did find it interesting despite errors.

I found Lost in Austin an interesting book. Hannaford took a trip across America in 1999 and ended up falling in love with Austin. He takes us on a journey thru Austin, beginning in the 1970s to 2023.
He shows how fast the growth of a city wrecks havoc on the city. In the'70s to about 2003 Austin was a city for the eccentric and artistic. Tech moved in, and Austin's infrastructure became stressed. ⬇️

To me, this book is more for pastors and leaders in a church. LeClaire is a pastor with AHOP. She discusses how to be on the lookout for Jezebel's within churches. The characteristics of them, as well. She quotes Bible passages throughout the book.
Thanks to Goodreads and LeClaire for the e-book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

pickWonderful cozy mystery! Ella Duke started the Dixie French Mystery Series off great. I fell in love with all the main characters in 'Something Dead the Cat Dragged In ', especially Dixie.
Dixie takes a vacation to Loblolly, S.C. to work on writing a book. She meets her landlord at a coffee shop, while there a guy drops dead. She's soon involved in a murder investigation, even though the deputy tells her to stay out of it. ⬇️

I found this to be a cute, cozy mystery. It was a little slow for me, but it picked up toward the end. I was half right about who was involved. It's the first in a new series. Even though this one was slow to me, I will read the next one. I enjoyed learning about Meave and Chiquita. McBride had good character development with Meave. Low pick. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

panI read the true crime genre to try to understand why people do what they do. I like my true crime to focus on the victims, and the investigation and then the perpetrator, finally the trial. In 'A Hunger to Kill' , Mager wrote in a totally different way that I have never seen with True Crime. We know at once who the perpetrator is, and then what he has done comes out in her interviews with him. It didn't work for me. ⬇️
