Alaskan Holiday
by Debbie Macomber
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This was an OK book, and while mostly the same as other romance stories, the ending was a bit more realistic. While waiting to start her new job, Josie takes a job at an Alaskan Lodge and, you guessed it, falls for someone she meets there. But while fighting her feelings, it becomes clear that what she thought would make her happy is no longer the case.

Chike And The River

book cover


While a simple and straight forward read, it almost seemed like this should have been a book for children. It is the story of a young Nigerian boy who learns the important lessons of life as he ignores the advice of adults and falls in with other students who lead him astray.

The Strawberry Patch Pancake House (dream Harbor, Book 4)

Always nice to visit Dream Harbor, but I felt like I couldn't relax while reading this book. I was constantly braced for a heartbreaking conversation with a child. Overall, it's handled sweetly, but not my cup of tea.

The Girl Who Married A Lion

This is a compilation of short stories set in Africa. They involve, for the most part, issues between man and animal or animal and animal. They are interesting and fun but also have a larger message.

Wishin' And Hopin'

book cover


This was a fun story about a boy’s youth as told by his point of view. It is set in 1964, which for me is a time I can relate to. Unlike many stories about children growing up that focus on hardships, this one is set in a middle-class family and focuses more on fun and experiences than challenges. It’s a good read. My only problem is that based on the way the title was written, I was expecting something less polished, but I was pleasantly surprised

Tilt

book cover


It is really hard to say much about the plot of this book without giving a lot away, so let me just say that a woman goes into an Ikea in Oregon and something terrible le happens. And there is something about this woman’s situation that make it even worse. Now what I can tell you is that it is an amazing book! The author does a wonderful job of taking you thought the array of emotions the central character experiences. And you will not be ablet to put it down.

Alexandria

book cover


This is an unusually formatted book, done as letters between correspondents and some of the letters are removable from envelopes within the book. This book is a continuation of the series. The story is engaging, but the presentation of the book with its colors and images makes it a striking choice for a read.

Funny and at times surprisingly touching. Audio book misses out on a bunch of visials

A charming book. My best description is that it's a cozy adventure.
