Almost Home by Valerie Fraser Luesse

This is a delightful book! Here's my review: This book has it all! There's a sweet love story, mysterious journals, a secret treasure, and more! The themes are friendship and family. The characters are relatable and easy to like! I would have to say that Dolly is my favorite. She embraces and loves the people who rent rooms in her boardinghouse. She is the hospitality queen! Reed also became a favorite. A young army medic suffering from PTSD, he comes to Dolly's boardinghouse broken. Soon he finds healing and love. I enjoyed the journal parts of the story. Reading about Catherine's life and the various surprises that she encountered tied everything together. This is the first book that I've read by this author but it won't be the last!

Go See America by Matt Tory

Absolutely splendid! Wow! I love this book so much! Here's my review: This is a fantastic book! It's divided into 7 regions of the USA. I enjoyed reading and learning about every place that was included. Some of them I have been to and the rest are on my bucket list. The pictures are extraordinary! They made me want to hop on a plane and go on an adventure. I hope the author writes more books like these. I won a complimentary copy of the book from LibraryThing. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Summer of You and Me by Denise Hunter

I don't like giving spoilers because I believe that everyone should read and judge a book for themself. This book is worth the time, believe me! Here's my review: Oh wow! This book is amazing! There are so many twists and turns. I thought I had it figured out and then it turns out that I didn't!! I enjoyed everything about this book. The setting of a picturesque small beach town is perfect! The cast of characters are relatable and easy to like. The little surprises that popped out here and there kept me interested and involved!!

Let us March On by Shara Moon

Here's my review: This book was informative and interesting! I love it when authors take a piece of history and create an amazing fictional story. FDR is one of the presidents that I admire and this book showcased his leadership abilities and his dedication to the United States of America. Lizzie is an exceptional woman! She's an advocate, a confidant, and extremely loyal. She stayed with FDR literally until the end. We need more people in the world like Lizzie!
