The Librarian of Saint-Malo by Mario Escobar

 4 stars

Jocelyn is a young lady living in the coastal town of Saint-Malo France.  She is the local librarian and is about to marry her love, Antoine.   Everything changes rapidly on their honeymoon to Paris.  Jocelyn is plagued with illness and not long after their return, Antoine is called up to fight.


Jocelyn does everything in her power to save the books in her library.  She resists the occupation by hiding her books and trying to save the people of Saint-Malo.


This was a compelling story told of World War II in a unique way.  Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.

The Summer of Songbirds by Kristy Woodson Harvey

  This book makes me want to send my daughter to summer camp :). I loved the stories of the songbirds and the strength of their friendships through the highs and lows of life. I enjoyed how the friends had each other do their hard things too. My favorite characters were Finn, Paola, June, Huff and Steven. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.

No Romancing the Passengers by Lee Wimmer

 I enjoyed the mystery and suspense in this book.  I also enjoyed the idea behind the cruise and how the passengers all enjoyed each other.   The stuff about dream walking was different for me and gave me something to think about.  There is another book after this one so everything is not tied up neatly at the end.  I enjoyed the characters Miguel, Mike and Willie. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.
