I‘m a longtime fan of Chamberlain‘s— though since discovering her novels over a decade ago, I‘ve tried to ration out her backlog! It‘s hard to believe this one is 23 years old— other than some technology, it has a surprisingly current feel. When Janine‘s daughter doesn‘t make it home from the Brownie camping trip that already deepened the wedge between her and her parents and ex, she‘s determined to bring her home. Gripping, though predictable.

Today‘s Prompt: LUGGAGE ON THE COVER
Babies, folks helping each other, and a difficult, but wonderful era.
One of those books you won't want to put down because the characters are so wholesome and because the story is so homey and heartwarming. Patience and Becky are characters you would want for a friend.

#6 #bookspin…I swear this book has been on my shelf for 20 years. I know I have picked it up once or twice over the years.
#11 #doublespin…this author wrote my most-read book of all time, Velocity.

In the first of her FBI K-9 books, Sara Driscoll gives us a fluffy thriller with enough meat on its bones to make it interesting. The details about K-9 tracking and search/rescue are fascinating. Chapter heads provide detailed snippets about the process. Megan Jennings, and her canine partner Hawk are called to the scenes of terrible bomb blasts and fires and then involved in the search for, and ultimate apprehension of the madman. Fun read,
Ania Ahlborn is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. I love how all her books are so different, she keeps it interesting. I liked this one. It was pretty violent, and although I guessed the twist pretty early on, it was still fun to see it all unfold. Lots of trigger warnings.
Personification is a commonly used literary tool throughout the novel. When Jeanette is burned by fire as a child she depicts it as dancing. This adds to the story by showing the battle Jeanette faces with fire and making the novel more life-like and helps us feel as though we are in the moment. Any author would use personification would use this tool for the same reason that Jeannette did. Adding emotion to the moment.
