I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!

No: You Can’t Stay Here Forever (by Katherine Lin)
#YouCantStayHereForever #NetGalley.
Have you ever had the experience of life just blowing up in your face? How did you react? What did you want to do? Anyone who has gone through this upset will relate to Ellie Huang.
Ellie’s husband dies suddenly and, of course, that would be enough for anyone. However, there is more bad news ahead for Ellie. No spoilers so read the novel to find out what happened.
Ellie does something dramatic in response. She leaves San Francisco to spend an extended time in France accompanied by a close friend. Mable and Ellie meet some interesting people at a resort and things go on from there.
This is a well written debut novel told from the perspective of a young Asian woman. There are both a good setting and good characters here.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Harper for this title. All opinions are my own.

What will be found in the: Last Circle of Love by Lorna Landvik
This book features some things that I really like. First, I am generally somewhat intrigued by books that feature a religious leader who is very human. I also enjoy stories that are about a group of women. This title offers both.
In this story, a pastor realizes that her parish needs some serious enlivening. The project that five church women suggest is a recipe book but one about love and spicing up relationships. Through this project readers get to know a group of gutsy women, the youngest of whom is in her fifties.
Needless to say, not everyone is in favor of this idea. Find out how things work out in this enjoyable and fun(ny) novel.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Lake Union. All opinions are my own.
