This book is about two African American women who join the Women’s Army Corps in World War II.

Fun summer read! Quick read and love that it takes place in NYC and Westchester County. Also a story line very much in the news concerning college admissions with a different twist. Her characters are always so true to life and always get a good laugh from her stories!

They grandpas wanted to so they all went swimming in their underwear! They stayed in the pool for an hour and had so much fun!

The Lost Apothecary
by Sarah Penner

book cover


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!

Can You Tell A Bee From A Wasp
by Buffy Silverman

This was a good book for facts but didn't tell me a lot that was new

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!

A Gentleman In Moscow
by Amor Towles
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This historical fiction is set in Moscow after the Bolshevik Revolution. The Count was sent away by his grandmother and then arrested and placed in a luxury hotel for the period of his detainment. His upbringing and background remain with him as does his approach to life and the world throughout his detainment.

The House Of Trelawney
by Hannah Rothschild
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I was given this book but was reluctant to read it because of the cover! However I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy a very good read once I decided to persevere and read it. It follows the trials and tribulations of a once landed family in England who are trying to maintain the inheritance despite overwhelming current circumstances. I really enjoyed it.

Superbikes
by Margaret Parish

book cover


All of the bikes are really cool. My favorite is the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R because I am wondering if ninjas use this bike and it is the "king of all sports bikes."
