Convenience Store Woman

This book is not surprising, but it is oddly comforting in how weird or main character is. She doesn't give a hoot about appearing normal to anyone else, but she sure makes me feel better about my social skills!

A mix of short stories, letters, recipes, and remembrance for Dorothea Benton Frank. I enjoyed a lot of the short stories and sentiment behind the book.

The Last Guard
by Nalini Singh

I'd rate this 3-and-a-half stars if possible. Anyway, this is about Payal, CEO of a major Psy family conglomerate based in Delhi, India and Canto (stupid name, sorry), chief spymaster for the Mercant family. Both are Designation As - Anchors - and strong ones at that. Both were also severely damaged as children because apparently Designation A children often have physical and mental problems that cause some family groups to disown them before their Anchor status can be confirmed. As usual with Nalini's Psy/Changeling series, they are stronger together as they work to shore up the PsyNet which is being damaged by The Architect and her Scarab minions. (Kaleb & Sahara played parts, which made me happy, and we also got to see Aden, Valentin, Silver and Arwen plus the other members of The Council.) Not my favorite in the series but kept me reading, so good enough!

Call Your Daughter Home
by Deb Spera

I loved it. The three main characters Annie, Retta and Gertrude who I feel suffered the most. She had four daughters who she was raising in abusive shack. I was forgive me but happy she killed her husband Alvin. Retta loves her hubby Odell and is a good wife and fried to the other ladies she lost her only child. But she is very protective odf the girls. Annie is married to Edwi. Cole whom we found out is a child molester and get what's coming to him. They have five children one died hang himself sue to his father actions. Poor Lonnie has a struttering. The girl left home when they càme of age and never looked back. I hated the fact Annie tried to kill herself. After she realizes what her husband has done. I live that Gertrude was rewarded in the end for all she went thru. And I like that Annie make peace with her daughters even of her grandbabies call her aunt instead of grandma.

I wanted this to be more than it was. I felt like it had such great premise but fell short in how it was carried out.

Summer Of 69
by Elin Hilderbrand

I enjoyed another beach classic by Elin Hilderbrand. This one followed a summer in 1969 of one family. It covered their day to day lives and the struggles each faced openly or secretly in their lives. I love that each section was songs from the year. It was a good reminder there is always room for another chance.

Malibu Rising

Wow! I couldn’t put this book down. The course of the book tells the happenings of the 24 hours leading up to a party and also the flashbacks of how the family got there and what they went through. All of that built up and came to the surface making them acknowledge who they are, what they need to heal, and what brought them to where they are.
