Oh the length of this book in audio version... I really struggled to finish this book. The first half of the book seemed to drone on forever, without ever really getting interesting. The second half of the book is where it finally picked up! The tennis driven family of 6 in a twisting and turning whirlwind of who did it, where is mom, who is this stranger living with my parents, did dad kill mom was intriguing to say the least. I did watch the series after I read the book, it took some different turns, but ultimately told the same story. I would recommend watching the series, as it does the book justice, though reading the book - know it gets better in the second half when things are moving faster!

This book talks about when a babysitter named Kristy has a wedding for her mom and she needs to prepare for it. And with her 5 friends she has to take care of 14 children. This is a great book.

Good book.

The amazing colors o Christmas.

This has one was so intriguing to read. The story is of a family of sisters who all had different gifts. The mom that the story focuses around has everyone up in arms because she wants to have a living wake. With no illness in sight, her family knows her gift is that of knowing how/when someone will die. This sets us up to dive into all of the characters, their thoughts on her impending wake, and their gifts. Coming from a large family with my mom being one of many sisters, this read had me grasping for each chapter.

This book right here... my twisted sarcasm found this refreshing and funny. It threw me off at first, the way the author/comedian would have stand-up skits in some of the interludes, but it ultimately worked. Laurie mainly talks about what it is like to have a parent on hospice and then after they die. But her comedic approach made me feel so welcome in her "Dead Dads Club". The things she reminds us to take care of in our own lives once we know we are nearing the "end" are hilarious! I would recommend this to anyone who has gone through hospice care with a loved one, once they are ready to laugh about it!

This book was great! Likely because it fell in my lap at a time when we have been digging into our family ancestry. The story focuses on a sister who is working as a fact checker at a magazine and has DNA tests done for a work project that say she is not her parents' daughter. It sends her into a deep dive trying to prove that the test was wrong, since her parents are both dead and she cannot ask them. As she delves further, she is contacted by the sister who has been searching for her since she was abducted as a child. The way these two instantly bond and fight, in my mind, further proved to me how they were cut from the same cloth. The twists come in when you finally learn the details of how the abduction happened, and who all knew and said nothing for years.

I wanted to read this book ahead of the movie coming out to streaming platforms. This book was made even better by Mark Bramhall's narration. The story of how these boys, who came from simple working families, pushed through all skepticism and doubts pushing their way to the 1936 Berlin Olympics. At a time when many rowing teams were sons of lawyers, doctors and senators, these boys were not the ones with the training facilities and high caliber schools at their disposal. They rose above and worked extra jobs during summers to afford to enroll in school each year to be able to get another shot at being part of something even bigger than they even realized at the time. Please be sure to read through the epilogue as well. It gives you a deeper understanding of the time period and how poignant this particular Olympics was.
