Sunlight Devney Perry author

I found this on Kindle and it caught my eye as it is based in Montana. Fiction.

From the site: My first day in Montana, I got into a tug-of-war over a grocery store shopping cart. The most handsome man I’d ever seen broke up the scuffle before he asked me on a date. I was seconds away from accepting but then he told me his name.

As an owner of the Haven River Ranch, Jax Haven wasn’t my boss. But he wasn’t not my boss either.

Obviously, my only option was to turn him down, scurry away, then pretend like he was a stranger on my first day of work. And obviously, I could never, ever admit that he was my secret crush.

For as hard as I work at my job, I work twice as hard to pretend Jax doesn’t exist. I don’t let myself think about his dazzling eyes or charming smile. I refuse to acknowledge how good he looks in a pair of faded Wrangler jeans. And as tempting as he is in a cowboy hat, Jax is a distraction I cannot afford.

Everything was going according to plan until the annual holiday party. Until I drank one too many flutes of champagne and let him sweep me off my feet. After a night in his bed, there was no more ignoring Jax Haven. Not when I’m pregnant with his baby.

Wreck - A Novel

I scooped up Wreck A Novel by Catherine Newman from the independent bookstore Four Seasons Books in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.

It was the second book with the same characters from Sandwich.  Turning the pages and listening to the chatter from Rocky felt very comfortable and I am curious if a third book will come about.

The book hits topics like aging, sickness, growing families, mental health, and oddly train safety regulations.

Margo's Got Money Troubles

Margo's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe

This is fantastic fiction audio book.

I listened to it in just a few days. There are many different characters all with their own unique issues and plots. It is not prim and proper but it is very funny.   I found myself rooting for her, her father's sobriety, and also sad for her mom.

Review 

Good Summary

Unluck any other, book.

I just read I'm a Fan by Sheena Patel.

I have not read anything like this in many years, but I like it.

She is obsessed. 

You Tube review from Bob the Bookerer

 

The idea that people become a brand.  It can be very intense and also very real.

Book Review 

Read a  Section here from the publisher page!

Often I am mesmerized by the written word of others.
Once again another OIF vet finds my hidden voice.
I loved and recognized the language in this book and did not want it to end.



Matthew Gallagher OIF Veteran nails it.

airplane fiction reading...

I should have been reading my homework... but.... easy read and enjoyable. Good airplane/airport pick.

When their men go off to war, Babe, Millie, and Grace, three childhood friends in Massachusetts, live on letters, and in dread of telegrams that can bring only bad news. But as the war drags on, and when peace breaks out, they experience changes that move them in directions they never dreamed possible. The women lose their innocence, struggle to raise their children, and find meaning and love in unexpected places.
And as they change, so does America—from a country in which people know their place in the social hierarchy to a world in which women’s rights, the Civil Rights movement, and technological innovations present new possibilities and uncertainties.
Yet Babe, Millie, and Grace remain bonded by their past, even as their children grow up and away and a new society rises from the ashes of the war.
A story of war, loss, and the scars they leave, Next To Love depicts the enduring power of love and friendship, and illuminates a transformational moment in American history.
