pickJoseph Clampitt wrote a book of what I have only dreamed of doing. Going back to biblical times and talking with disciples. It was an inspirational book.
Clampitt talks to Paul in Ephesus. Taking a journey back 2000 years to learn why he can't hear what God says. I truly enjoyed it. I can't wait to get to heaven bc there's so many things in the Bible I want to discuss with the Disciples, Moses, Noah, David, and so many more.
pickI enjoyed this historical fiction book. Good character development and growth.

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Penrose's historical mystery is set in the 1810s. Wrexford and Charlotte are involved in the mysterious death of Jasper Milton.
I could tell that Penrose spent time researching this book. I enjoy reading a historical novel that I end up learning things from. I got a kick out of the Weasels. I could just imagine them getting into mischief. Penrose developed them in a way that showed their youthfulness ⬇️

pickHoly Moly! To say Viola Davis had a hard life growing up is such an understatement! From poverty, sexual abuse, and growing up with an alcoholic father, which I know personally is very hard, bullying and being ashamed to becoming a wonderful actress, she overcame a lot. Very few times did I laugh when listening to this memoir. That was when she talked about her mom protecting them from Bull Frogs Eyes kids. Most of the time, I was stunned or ⬇️

pickI'm not a gamer, but I enjoyed 'Red Dead's History'' . Olsson wrote in a way that kept me intrigued. I ended up being interested in how close this game actually was to American history. The game is set in 1899 in the West, the South and Applician. Red Dead looks at the cowboy life, the Buffalo, as well as other stuff in the West. The South deals with the Civil War, slavery, and sufferagist, and cotton. While Applician comes in as the ⬇️
pickI listened to this, and it was a hard book to listen to.
Lanah Sawyer is 17 years old in 1793, when her life is changed forever by rape. The sad thing, I realized while listening to this, is that very little has changed in 233 years since Sawyer pressed charges against her rapist. For some reason, society still ridicules a woman because of rape instead of the man. Sawyer reported and pressed charges being the first woman in America ⬇️

Received this from J. D. Baker today! He doesn't get enough notice. I think he's a great writer.
pickNot your typical WWII history book, Jones wrote on the life of Ben Kuroki. Ben grew up in Nebraska, a Nissi, and joined the Army Air Forces. He fought his way to become the only Japanese American gunner to fly 58 missions in Europe and the Pacific.
A captivating book about someone who did all he could to show his patriotism. Kuroki never had a problem growing up in Hershey, Nebraska, until Pearl Harbor. I could tell while reading this ⬇️

pickA sweet read about Eddie, who loses his life trying to save a little girl. He meets 5 different people in Heaven that his life impacted in some way. I enjoyed listening to the audio book. I enjoyed the lessons he learned as he met each person. It was a quick audio.
🙂Happy Reading 🙂

so-soThe Heron Legacy starts out very slowly, and it doesn't pick up speed. It was more of a slow, nice read. There was a little character development on only one of the main characters. I thought it was beautifully written, though, and that bumped my rating up to 3⭐️
Thanks to Booksiern for the e-book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It's cooled off a little in Arkansas, so I am sitting outside reading. It's been a very hot, humid summer here.
panI just didn't care for this one very much.
I got tired of hearing her pine for James Lacey. I wish they would get married, or Beaton would move on from him. I listened to this one, and the same narrator read it, that has read the others, so I don't know why it didn't work for me, but it didn't.

pickFinally finished, after 3 weeks of reading. Most terrifying, disgusting, sexual true crime book I have read in a while. To think he was a Colonel in the Canadian military and being groomed for higher ranks. He had everyone fooled. I wonder if the police would have warned people after the first or second incident if maybe he would have been caught before he moved to sexual murder?🤷♀️

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. ⬇️
pickI listened to the audio book. I actually enjoyed this one more than 'The Spare.' It went into more detail of Diana, William, and Harry. It starts with Diana and Charles dating to Harry and Megan leaving the Royal Family. If you like reading about the Royals, but haven't read this one yet, I think you will probably enjoy this one.

I enjoyed reading these nature poetry about Earth, Oceans, Animals and the Forest. My favorites were the animal poems because I love animals. Living out in the country I resonated with the squirrels, deer and birds in the poems. I have watched the deer many times going from one patch of woods to another.

so-soI was excited to read this book for a few reasons: I love to learn new things, it was about women at the turn of the century and because it was about archeology, which I have always found fascinating.
Women in the Valley of Kings is well researched and when reading it, I could see how the topic was loved by Sheppard. Sheppard was able to transport me to the late 1800's and early 1900's Egypt and the discoveries that were made. I found it ⬇️
