The Famine Orphans | Patricia Falvey
post image
Pickpick

PUT IN YOUR TBR!!

Based on a true event. It was part of the Earl Grey Scheme that took place in 1848.

The potato famine sent thousands of young women from Ireland to Australia for a new life.

Enjoy the history lesson, the friendships that resulted, the descriptions of beautiful Australia, and especially Kate‘s journey. 5/5

Be prepared to find the truth about these schools known as the Magdalene Laundries where they sent girls back in the 60s for many different reasons.

You will love the characters and the lifelong friendships they made, but your heart will break for them. 

Another marvelously researched, pull-you-in book by Susan Wiggs that will have you also shedding tears. 5/5

Olivia Dumont is pretty much broke.

When she is asked to ghostwrite a book for none other than horror author Vincent Taylor who is her father she hasn‘t talked to for years, she has a difficult decision.

How will this all play out for Olivia?  

Find out in Ms. Clark‘s newest tense, pull-you-in read that started out slowly but ends with a bang. P4/5

Have YOU read either of these books?

@katemortonauthor
@pamjenoff

Gissy I read Kate Morton‘s book. I liked it but it is long and slow pace which is common in her writing style. But I like how she describes places and characters, very atmospheric. It has more than time line and a touch of paranormal/fantasy element. I still liked more Homecoming but I‘m a fan of this author🤷🏽‍♀️so maybe not too objective? ☺️ 3d
SilversReviews @Gissy I LOVE her books. The Forgotten Garden is my favorite - The Clockmaker‘s Daughter took a while to get interested, but it ended up to be good. I haven‘t read Homecoming yet, but I‘m sure it is good. Thank you for your comment. 3d

Don't Let Him in | Lisa Jewell
post image

7/2

Nick Ratcliffe is a man who is evil and cunning and uses so many different names it is a miracle he remembers to use the correct name the person knows him by.

DON‘T LET HIM IN will have your mind spinning and whiplashing back and forth after each introduction of a character and a new scheme of Nick‘s.

He is despicable and has a ready lie for anyone who questions him and anything that might threaten his charade. 5/5

7/15

This summer definitely will not be so good for childhood friends Julia, David, and Erika.

Everyone has changed, and everyone has something they have been hiding including information about the disappearance of two women from years ago and one who just disappeared.

How is this summer going to turn out - find out in this slow moving read with a lot of characters with secrets and agendas of their own. 4/5

The minute you begin reading you wonder who Ren is talking to because no one is there.

You then realize she is talking to her dead sister Margo - well Margo is talking to her telling her what to do.

WHISPERS FROM DEAD GIRLS is suspenseful and a bit creepy.

Thriller fans will enjoy this one. 4/5

Beach House Rules | Kristy Woodson Harvey

Mehso-so

After Charlotte‘s husband is arrested for securities fraud, she and her daughter are locked out of their house and join a mommune where women live and help each other.

I was skeptical about the mommune and wasn‘t that engaged with the book.

It just seemed to just drag on and had too many characters to keep track of, but the surprise ending raised the rating up a notch. 4/5

Could someone have seen Phoenix on the cliff when Marguerite fell?

Will the police think Phoenix pushed her?

Why didn‘t Phoenix just tell the truth about what happened?

Uncertainty and a sinister tone abound in this slow moving read.

Give it a try and see if you can figure out what‘s going on with each character and why Phoenix does what she does.

A bizarre, eerie ending. 4/5
