Two reviews for the price of one post

Chili and Sundae were very cooperative today and decided to help me with this double post.

🔹BOOK REVIEW 1: Booked for Trouble by Eva Gates 🔹

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 stars

My Review:
This is the second book in the Lighthouse Library Mystery Series. Another murder takes place on the library grounds. This time, Lucy’s mother is the prime suspect. It does not take long that everyone becomes a suspect. Who had motives to commit the murder? You have to read it to find out.

I love this series. The stories are light and fun. I particularly like the fact that you have to wait to the end of the book to really know who committed the crime.

🔹BOOK REVIEW 2: Reading Up a Storm by Eva Gates🔹

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5 stars

My Review:
This is the third book in the Lighthouse Library Mystery series. It is a light read and can be fun at times; unfortunately, the storyline is pretty much the same in all the books. I enjoyed the love triangle dilemma between Lucy, Connor, and Butch… the introduction of Stephanie really messes up the dynamics. I guessed the murderer very early in the book and that was a bit disappointing. Besides that, it is an enjoyable read. I am now all caught up in the series.

Review: The Last Love Note by Emma Grey

The Last Love Note by Emma Grey My rating: 3 of 5 stars In THE LAST LOVE NOTE by Emma Grey, I embarked on a journey filled with conflicting emotions. Despite my initial eagerness to delve deeper into the narrative, the unexpected weightiness of the prose caught me off guard. The narrative's frequent jumps in timeline, especially in audiobook format, proved disorienting and challenging to follow. However, Leeanna Walsman's narration was outstanding, rescuing the experience with her excellent delivery. The novel grapples with poignant themes, exploring the profound ideas of seizing life's moments and nurturing hope amid pain. Yet, occasional forced dialogue and slapstick humor felt incongruent with the somber tone. Nevertheless, the commendable growth of the characters and the author's skill in infusing joy and hope into a challenging narrative make it a worthwhile read. While my personal experience may differ, many readers have found this book highly enjoyable, so I e...

Review: Every Note Played

Every Note Played by Lisa Genova My rating: 5 of 5 stars I want to thank NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada for granting me an advanced copy of the Every Note Played book by Lisa Genova. Lisa Genova, author of "Still Alice" and "Inside the O'Briens", delivers yet another masterpiece. Every Note Played is a novel which addresses the devastating effect of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) on a celebrated pianist and his family. ALS (a.k.a. motor neuron disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig's disease) causes the death of neurons controlling voluntary muscles. Over time, as the muscles of the body break down, someone living with ALS loses the ability to walk, talk, eat, swallow, and eventually breathe. At 45, Richard is diagnosed with ALS. His career is over and he has no one to turn to for help. Karina, his ex-wife, driven by guilt, becomes his reluctant caretaker. This endeavour is more than she bargains for, and both she and Richard are faced w...
