Earlier this week the third book in Anne Perry's Daniel Pitt series came out. I hadn't read the first two books of the series, but the cover of One Fatal Flaw really got my attention.

Sunrise on Half Moon Bay by Robyn Carr
by MK French
Justine was twenty when her younger sister Addie was born, so they never really knew each other. Addie ultimately dropped out of college to care for their parents and Justine paid the bills.

You and Me and Us by Alison Hammer ~ Review
by Susan Roberts
"It's those moments when I see what it's doing to them, this disease that's killing my body, breath by breath. That's when I know I made the right decision. Because even though I'm the one that's sick, it's killing all of us. And it would be selfish of me to hold on, to make them suffer even one more day than they have to." (p 290)

Quarantine with Beverly Cleary #HappyBirthdayBeverlyCleary
by Alison DeLuca
Who out there remembers Beverly Cleary? She remains one of my favorite authors, a writer whose stories spoke to kids, teens, and even adults.

The Last Bathing Beauty by Amy Sue Nathan ~ a Review
by Susan Roberts
September 1951
Any other bride might have gazed into the mirror, stepped away, and then glanced back over her shoulder for another peek. Not Betty. She hadn't looked at herself once today, in fact she'd avoided her reflection all week. She knew the person looking back from the mirror would not be her. Betty Claire Stern no longer existed. She wanted to say she died, but Betty was mindful of her reputation for melodrama. (Prologue)

A story so good it will make you forget what is going on in the world - that's what Layton Green's latest novel Unknown 9: Genesis did for me.
