linda s nook linda s nook sunday august 15 2021 map of the heart by susan wiggs my rating 4 of 5 stars 4 stars this is a well written novel with a compelling storyline and mysteries to solve it moves between present day and wwii dual storylines can often be bothersome and confusing but the author susan wiggs is gifted by an ability to write them so they are easy to follow interesting and well organized another of her gifts is creating believable true to life characters and their relationships with each other kudos to her for a captivating story and respectable romance without gratuitous sex scenes and foul language although i am really tired of finding requisite lgbtq characters in nearly every novel film or sitcom i ve experienced in recent years wiggs handles this tastefully this novel is what i d call a good beach read view all my reviews posted by linda austin hart at 9 10 pm no comments thursday april 8 2021 code name hélène by ariel lawhon my rating 3 of 5 stars 3 5 stars historical fiction this is an account of an extraordinary woman australian nurse and journalist nancy wake a wwii heroine she served in the french resistance and later the special operations executive soe and briefly pursued a post war career as an intelligence officer in the air ministry she was fierce and she did amazing unbelievable things including killing a nazi officer with her bare hands she was irreplaceable to britain s command and financing of the french resistance she operated under 4 different code names lucienne carlier the white mouse hélène and as the deadly madam andré where she claims her place as one of the most powerful leaders in the french resistance armed with a ferocious wit her signature red lipstick and the ability to summon weapons straight from the allied forces the enemy was never able to figure out that the 4 names belonged to one and the same woman she was so successful in her missions that the reich had a five million franc price put on her head it is also a story of her courtship and marriage to french industrialist henri fiocca the story itself is fascinating but the telling of it was frustrating with too much descriptive writing and its non chronological jumping back and forth in place and in time from 1936 to 1944 in between and back again there is an abundance of profanity and graphic scenes of wartime torture i listened to the audio book you can read about nancy here https www theguardian com world 201 view all my reviews posted by linda austin hart at 5 06 pm no comments saturday february 20 2021 the guest list by lucy foley my rating 4 of 5 stars this is a fun atmospheric thriller which takes the points of view of all the characters interweaving them past and present with their secrets lies fears and jealousies in such a way as to make them all suspect it could have been a 5 star rating if there had been more careful editing but there were several plot holes and some incidents which just didn t match up in the end nevertheless i really enjoyed it and would not hesitate to recommend it i listened to the the audio book which was well done view all my reviews posted by linda austin hart at 3 09 pm no comments monday june 15 2020 the power of stillness mindful living for latter day saints by jacob z hess my rating 2 of 5 stars this audio version of the book is an excellent example of why authors should not narrate their own book there are exceptions of course but as one reader commented in her review due to the male author narrator s monotone voice and very slow reading she would recommend it only as a cure for insomnia the female reader is much easier on the ears and on the brain but after listening to 1 2 the book for me that still was not enough to continue so i did not finish the content of the book is good and may be helpful for someone who is way too busy trying to be everything to everyone or for someone whose current cup of tea is the very popular current trend of practicing or reading about the benefits of meditation but i would not recommend it for the non lds reader your mileage may vary view all my reviews posted by linda austin hart at 1 03 pm no comments the prize winner of defiance ohio how my mother raised 10 kids on 25 words or less by terry ryan my rating 5 of 5 stars i read this book several years ago shortly after it was published and i loved it entertaining uplifting and incredibly inspiring it is the true story of a remarkable mother of 10 children who held her family together financially by clipping and using coupons entering contests and submitting jingles for advertising contests she is optimistic with a strong sense of humor sometimes it feels like i live in a circus and all the animals are loose and there are some parts that are very funny but there are also some sad ones the book is written by one of her daughters who comments from then on we knew there could never be a problem bigger than mom s ability to solve it we knew that as long as we used our brains we were not victims by striking out to write our own ticket we would grow up to be like our mother winners i highly recommend it view all my reviews posted by linda austin hart at 12 58 pm no comments monday june 8 2020 insights from a prophet s life russell m nelson by sheri dew my rating 5 of 5 stars oh my this book i loved it i don t often read biographies but sheri dew is among my favorite inspirational authors and russell m nelson one of my most admired people this biography was on my list i appreciated the book s format chapters are designated as episodes short clear essay like readings arranged chronologically making it easy to read set down ponder upon and pick up again like the prophet himself the book is full of quotable gems i listened to the audio version but enjoyed it so much i just ordered the hardbound version view all my reviews posted by linda austin hart at 8 19 pm no comments sunday january 12 2020 the huntress by kate quinn my rating 4 of 5 stars this is suspense filled historical fiction with a compelling storyline told in alternating pov s by 3 intriguing characters like kate quinn s earlier novel the alice network this is not a story for the faint of heart i was totally absorbed by both the storyline and the characters and couldn t put it down also i learned a few things which is always a plus for me although there is a fair amount of crude language i applaud the author for using less in this novel than in the earlier one view all my reviews posted by linda austin hart at 6 21 pm no comments saturday november 9 2019 the art of gathering how we meet and why it matters by priya parker my rating 2 of 5 stars 2 stars it was ok for a business leader sales manager or organization president there may be some really valuable helps but i suspect there is little new here for an experienced or already successful professional meeting facilitator for a homemaker church goer club member empty nester socializer like myself i think a great party planner or game book might be more stimulating however i did glean a few ideas i may possibly put to use in order to increase attendance and or involvement at the next social event

laughing all the way through to the end of book i will definite put the author janet evanovich on my easy beach reads list view all my reviews posted by linda austin hart at 3 29 pm no comments serena by ron rash my rating 5 of 5 stars this is one of the best mysteries i ve read in years from the very first paragraph to the end i couldn t put it down i read the audio version which was expertly narrated set in the western mountains and hollows of north carolina the novel traces the villainous couple serena and pemberton as they slash and burn their way through timbered valleys trying to stay one step ahead of the u s department of interior s push to acquire land for great smoky mountains national park there is a mythic quality to the story especially in the superb conclusion and this is clearly intentional it is my first reading of anything by ron rash and he is a skill fully storyteller view all my reviews posted by linda austin hart at 3 20 pm no comments older posts home subscribe
