Windrush
by Mike Phillips

book cover


This book tells the story of the generation who came to Britain from the Caribbean after WW2. Powerful story with many first-hand accounts. It helped me gain a sense of the Afro-Caribbean community in Britain decade by decade. Also gives the historical background to the Windrush Scandal that broke in 2018.

The Secret Stealers By Jane Healey

book cover


An in-depth (albeit a bit too much in parts) story of Anna who is looking for her purpose in war-torn France. She is hired by "Wild" Bill Donovan, head of the United State's OSS and eventually returns to France to help the Resistance. Factually based with a good deal of information and insight as to the lives of those sent beyond the frontline. Would recommend for anyone interested in the women of the OSS and SOE.

Malibu Rising
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I listened to this book and appreciate that fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid will probably love it but, as with Daisy and the Six I really didn't like any of the characters, which really affected how I felt about what happened to them. The story is set in the Malibu mansion of a famous woman who has three siblings and a famous father. As the day progresses we discover intersecting stories about all of them, culminating at a huge annual party which does not end as happily as it apparently has previously!

Remember
by Lisa Genova

book cover


This is a great book for those of us who wonder if we're starting to show early signs of Alzheimer's. Unless you misplace your keys and later find them in the refrigerator there's not much to worry about, yet. You will learn tips and tricks to help you make and maintain memories in every day life.

Dragon Masters 6
by Tracey West
View in Library Catalog
book cover


It was a great book and it is full of teamwork. This book was full of adventure and it was full of excitement. I really enjoyed this book because it was about dragons and it was awesome. You should definitely read it if you like dragons as much as I do.

The Stepsisters
by Susan Mallery
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I liked the book, it was a quick read. But when I finished I felt like I had read it before. It has strong female characters, who learn about themselves and each other. They were not friends as children, who was to blame for that. Can they put the past behind them and come to be friends?

The Memory Police
by Yoko Ogawa
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book is very eerie. It is a dystopian novel about memory. The citizens are on an island and things disappear mysteriously. The Memory Police take people away and the main characters work to try to preserve their things and memories against all odds.

Saviors of Kamigawa
