The Writing on the Wall (Hearts of the Children Series #1)

The Writing on the Wall by Dean Hughes


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Took me a bit to get into the book but then about half way there seemed to be more detail and depth that kept me wanting to read more. Still haven't decided if it's enough to want to continue with the series.

The Confession of Fitzwilliam Darcy

The Confession of Fitzwilliam Darcy by Mary Street

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Mr. Darcy is finally understood! I really enjoyed this book and to finally unravel the mystery of Mr. Darcy, I couldn't help but fall in love with him all over again! What an eye opener reading everything through his eyes, a great reminder that we can misinterrupt people very easily.

The Salt Road

The Salt Road by Jane Johnson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The story goes back and forth between Isabelle's life and Mariata's life. I found I was enjoying and wanting more of Mariata maybe because of the depth of her character. Isabelle's narrative had a little bit of bad language which wasn't needed but stopped. A little long in a couple spots. Interesting to see the connection although felt a little thrown together and rushed near the end, I would have liked more. Overall an enjoyable read with entwining storylines and Moroccan culture.

Shades of Milk and Honey

Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


This isn't a bad book but also not a book that has me wanting to tell everyone about it or to be quick to reread again. I enjoyed the authors writing I just had a hard time with magic and a Jane Austen feel (what the book is often compared too) together. One I'm not one to read many books with magic in them and two I had a hard time even comparing this novel to Jane Austen's novels - I just didn't feel it at all.

Had I not had the expectation of a Jane Austen novel I think I would have enjoyed this book much more and enough to be interested in the next book.

The Litigators

The Litigators by John Grisham

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I've read the majority of John Grisham's books and have enjoyed them. This particular book however seemed rather sluggish and I was beginning to feel like no lawyer has a soul. It did pick up and I found the last half of the book to be the writing I'm use to when reading his books.

Secret Daughter

Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Enjoyable book with a few tears shed too. Loved how family relationships developed and how they learned from each other and about each other.
