“The Lost Wife by Alyson Richman
"This compelling, true story of the holocaust in WWII Czechoslovakia goes beyond concentration camp torture to celebrate enduring love and family loyalty.
There are several surprising twists as the author weaves plots together with accounts of bravery and artistic triumph.”

Love Over Scotland by Alexander McCall Smith
“Finally!!! I keep giving the Scotland series a chance in hopes that it will grab my attention and make me fall in love with it. The first two in this series were iffy for me but I saw something in them. This is the third installment and I am finally hooked. Bertie is a brilliant character and I cannot wait to follow his life as he grows up with his insufferable mother.”

The Monsters of Templeton by Lauren Groff
“The Monsters of Templeton was yet another novel about the dysfunctional family yet I did not think it trite. I found it to be very refreshing and unique. I loved that Templeton was based on a real town, had a real monster, and featured many flashbacks by founders of the town to put the mystery together.”

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith
“I loved the concept and thought this story to be highly-creative. However, I had trouble with truly suspending my disbelief. I could not give myself to the story effectively and I think it has more to do with the writing than me.”
