The Heart of the Mountains by Pepper Basham

 Cora escapes to the mountains to avoid a forced marriage but is met by people and animals who do not want her there.  Jeb is home from the war and is struggling with the aftermath of that.  


I love how Cora is able to use her nursing skills and does not let the fear control her actions.  I probably would have been on the first transportation mode out of there.  


The people who live in the mountains can seem so rough and hard to understand but I love how strong and resilient they are.


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.
