Once More We Saw Stars
I am very glad I read this book and am glad Greene shared his story in Once More We Saw Stars. It gives a glimpse into the grief a parent can experience when losing a child. Reading this book with increase sympathy. One lesson I learned – a parent is almost always thinking about his or her children, whether living or dead

The Paris Library
The Paris Library is a captivating read, especially since it’s historical fiction based on real people who worked at the American Library in Paris and kept it open during the entire occupation of Paris. There are rumors that the library was a possible hiding place of some Jewish patrons. The books gives a glimpse into an important part of what happened in Paris during WWII and will leave a reader wondering what they would do in Odille’s shoes.

Catalyst
Catalyst is a book about a lot of things – energy fields, fracking, climate change, aliens and other dimensions. It also deals with relationships on several different levels – romantic, sibling and parent/child. I enjoyed the storyline and how it built the relationships with the characters.

Maybe In Another Life
I stayed up too late finishing Maybe In Another Life because I wanted to see how it ended. Each chapter goes back and forth between the two paths of Hannah’s life. Readers of good fiction will enjoy reading this book. It’s fascinating to explore how simple decisions can possibly make our lives take a completely different path than we thought we would take.

Peggy Rowe books
About My Mother is a feel-good book about a family that loves through their differences. I enjoyed the stories and read it in just a few days. Peggy’s voice shows the readers where her son, Mike, got his voice to tell stories. Readers who enjoy reading small biographical snippets will enjoy this book.

Don't Go
There are a lot of twists and turns in Don’t Go, but it was a more believable storyline than the other Scottoline book I read. As a military brat and wife, I connected with the story of a soldier being on deployment and the hardships military families face. The book had me guessing to the very end, which makes for an interesting read.

Being Known
I enjoyed reading Being Known and found it to be a very realistic story about how little things can creep into a marriage. The characters feel authentic and while it’s a Christian book, the faith of the characters is just ingrained in who they are so it doesn’t seem fake or pushy.
