Walk Through Memory Lane

Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First CenturyNomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a walk through memory lane for me. So many of the places in the book were places I visited when I had a RV. What was not memory lane was how Linda and friends made their living and how hard it was. I was left with questions? How are this group of people doing during the pandemic. Looking and hoping to find out. This is a great read for all income groups. It really points out how income defines class. This was a book club book.

A Re-visit

Colony On Fire Haven Colony Book Two: (The Sectors SF Romance Series)Colony On Fire Haven Colony Book Two: by Veronica Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It was good to see Chief Ranger Micah Navonn of the Calinurra and Dr. Saffia Mandell again. Two years have passed and they are still going strong. There are some problems but the really big one happens when they are half a world apart. That brings a problem to light and a solution is coming. A nice addition to the series in a story with great characters.

Not My Cup of Tea

The Bookstore on the BeachThe Bookstore on the Beach by Brenda Novak
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I juist wanted this to be over. There should have seen some tension in the plot line but for me it was just something I kept reading but never bought into. I did see what would happen at the end but it was not very clean cut. Instead it was hard to buy into to the missing husband not to mention the Mother's hidden history.

A great addition to the series. Once again Kat solves the mystery before any others. Seems her job as cook gives her a view denied others. We learn more about the cast of characters as the follow several different plot lines.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Leonidas and Cassia are really great characters. They form a team working together to build a new life. I loved the visual descriptions of Rome in the time of Nero. Great new series with lots of possibilities for plot points. Pick this up for a fun read.

My Enemy or Not My Enemy

Heiress In Red Silk (A Duke's Heiress #2)Heiress In Red Silk by Madeline Hunter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Who knows why the will was written as it was but it is still making many unhappy. Rosamund Jameson is not unhappy about being one of the heirs Kevin Radnor does not care about the money Rosamund inherited. He does want something else she has. Fun at times and serious a times this gives a interesting look at past characters while giving Rosamund and Kevin a HEA>

New Solutions

Space Baby (Interstellar Sheriff Book 4)Space Baby by Jenny Schwartz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Good to see everyone again. Two years have passed and things have changed. New characters, new president and new problems. Leave it to Them to find the solution where their did not seem to be one. I love this series. The things I expected were not there. Instead I found a much better story and more room for interesting plots.
