If I could I would say 3 and a half, it is a good book with action and suspense, but it doesn't completly follow the rules of the real game.

Great book if you are interested in historical fiction in the World War II era. I felt very connected to the characters throughout the stories and felt like I was walking in their shoes. I liked the parallel between the present day and past. Quick read!

The Lost Apothecary

I could not put this book down. I loved how this book went back and forth from 1700's to our time period today. I saw how the author was trying to connect the past and present. I wish I could re-read this book again, a must read for historical fiction fans!

I loved the book!! I wasn't sure if I was going to, but it was a book club choice and I found it really interesting and engaging. It made me question all the ways we love and how it important it is to be honest when approaching various relationships.

This was the first chapter book I read all by myself and I really liked it. I am going to read the whole Humphrey series and I just got a pet hamster that looks just like Humphrey. My favorite part of the book was when Humphrey and Aldo made friends with each other.

Now he has got his act together and he wants custody of his daughter back. His in-laws are ready for a fight.

book cover


My sister recommended this book to me! It was pretty good. It had a few twists you didn't see coming. Some of the incidents at the beginning of the book happened to fast for me and I didn't understand. Then the book had a good story with characters you end of liking. I would recommend this book as a light, easy beach read.
