The Lies They Told | Ellen Marie Wiseman
post image

7/29

It‘s the 1930s and the Eugenics movement is in full force as Lena comes from Germany to Ellis Island and then works for Silas Wolfe in the mountains of WV.

It was a good life until the social services arrived and declared her as an unfit mother as well as Silas to be an unfit father to his two children.

A heartbreaking and upsetting read but an excellent, well-researched history lesson. 5/5

Hazel Says No | Jessica Berger Gross
post image
Pickpick

THIS IS NOT A PAN!!! One little word. NO!!

Who would think that two-letter word could cause such an upheaval.

It certainly did in this small town, but it was a powerful exclamation.

Emotional but also a lesson about what‘s right and what‘s wrong.

What will win out? What won out for Hazel? 4/5

The Unraveling of Julia | Lisa Scottoline

7/25

Julia knew something bad was going to happen and something good was going to happen.

The bad thing was her husband was murdered, and the good thing was she inherited a large sum of money and a villa in Tuscany.

Another good read by Lisa Scottoline. 4/5

Why did Alana do that?

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

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? ☺️ 2w
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. 2w

Don't Let Him in | Lisa Jewell

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
