Summer Reading Celebration

Pleasant read of historical fiction set in Ireland in the 1920's during the Irish war for independence from England. The story involves the daughter of the English overseer who has been sent to the area to keep things in check. In an unprecedented move, her father allies her to apprentice at an Irish owned jewelry shop. The owners son is dead st against it because of who she is. While the story feels predictable, the history is well researched. The writing lacks the depth of best sellers, but it was a pleasant enough read.

Good read with my grandson. A good introduction to learning about the Civil War.

I've put off reading this author for so long and I'm so disappointed that I did. I really enjoyed this book. Its not heavy, but its definitely more than a "beach read." I read 28 Summers by this same author, or rather I listened to them, and Hilderbrand is my new favorite author!

This book echoes a prominent theme in current parenting: get kids outside interacting with nature. I appreciate the practical suggestions on gardening, but the chapters on hunting and fishing were unrelatable.

Runs over the basics of abnormal psychology that makes it easier to digest over a medical textbook so you can understand it on a more human level for anyone rather then where one might feel overwhelmed by a more advanced medical textbook. Feels more of a stepping stone if you wanted to dive deeper into specific chapters the book covers.

Mystery, military operations, international relations, drama, and a little romance

I was obsessed! Theo, Winter, and Viv have my heart!!! This is by far my favorite of the series. Can’t wait to read Bailey and Beau’s story.

Great story about a gay romance and international intrigue.

Kristin Hannah is a great author who brings characters to life. This book did not disappoint. And her descriptions of life in the wilderness of Alaska are breathtaking.

I loved this book! Jasper and Sloane have my heart! Can’t wait to read reckless.
