For those who love to read about the truth of what goes on behind the scenes, this is your novel. This was a very interesting read into the glitz, glitter and life of movie starts trying to make it big when Hollywood was still beckoning any beautiful female. Men still had the run of things, […]

The Girls from the Beach by Andie Newton

This is another great WWII historical fiction novel you need to add to your list! I have not read many with women from the US who were over there helping to fight in the front line. This story follows four women nurses who were on the front lines of battle, and also has a dual […]

Serious Little Catholics – A Memoir by Kathy Gereau

This was a perfect, light-hearted giggle read! This novel also brought back many memories of when I was a child in a private school. I went to a Lutheran school, a little different in strictness but still very many of the same things. I think the main difference was we did not have nuns teaching […]

Fallen by Linda Castillo (Kate Burkholder #13)

Another great Detective Kate Burkholder novel! I don’t think I can pick a favorite, as they are all different and have their own storylines. I just love how Linda writes and I always feel like I’m riding along, right next to Detective Burkholder in these novels. Kate gets a call that a body has been […]

The Woman with the Blue Star by Pam Jenoff

As soon as I saw this advertised, I knew I had to read it! Another amazing story of survival and what people endured during WWII.

Finding Napoleon by Margaret Rodenberg

This was a fascinating novel. I did not know much about Napoleon before reading this book, and although it is historical fiction, I learned a lot. I also really loved how the author wrote about St. Helena Island. It doesn’t sound as bad as what Napoleon had felt about it, although I guess it would […]
