This is such a hard book to rate.
The first half was an incredible overview of history. It took me emotionally through the 50s as a setup for the 60s and 70s, so that I could experience what it was like as if I had been there, reading almost like a narrative version of Billy Joel's "We Didn't ...

Because You Loved Me
Beth Moran has become one of my favorite authors, but this isn't my favorite of her offerings. Some of the themes are pretty grim, though it does have her signature happily-ever-after.
The story follows Marion, a 20-something girl trying to find both herself, and the mystery of who her father was ...

Fingerprints of the Gods
2nd read:
I picked this up again, because I was looking to do research for my next book... mostly just looking for inspiration. I downloaded the e-book version so that I could highlight relevant portions, and then listened via audio to the portions that didn't seem as important for my purposes. ...

The Hunted
Every time I read a Jeff Wheeler book, I marvel at how I get so swept up into his world (they're all set more or less in the same one, or rather the same interconnected series of worlds, on a timeline I've never been clearly able to define.) All of his main characters are the same ordinary, ...

Common features are that the protagonists are always female, always artistic in some way (Josie in this one is ...

Bright Winter Lights
This was adorable! Fluffy, clean, and brief, like a chick flick.
The plot was sort of unique (though I guess none of them are all that unique): Adam wants his Jewish mom to stop bugging him to find a good Jewish girl, and so he tells his mom that he's seeing someone. His mom presses him on the ...

The Oath
Christian paranormal thrillers seem almost like a contradiction in terms, but Peretti manages it, and does it very well.
The story follows Steve, a professor of wildlife biology whose brother Cliff was killed by what is believed to be a grizzly bear. His sister-in-law was left almost out of her ...
