Katy and her mother, Carol, plan a trip to Positano, Italy. Before their trip commences, Carol dies from her battle with Cancer. Unsure of her future, and to reconnect with her mother's legacy, Katy embarks on their trip solo. In Italy, Katy is swept up in all that Italy offers - its beauty, love, history, and magic. It's a touching story sure to make any reader have wanderlust.~ Mary T.




A thriller that catches the feel, the scents and the sense of New Orleans as I remember it. Good read! ~ Karen L.


Circe by Madeline Miller 

Wonderful and lovely book. Big fan of mythology and this is one of my favorites.       ~ Miriam V. 


In this book, Lucy Worsley traces the history of mystery novels in England starting with the banning of public executions in the 1800s and ending with the Golden Age of Detective Fiction in the 1920s and 30s. Easy to read and full of fascinating details about true crimes, Madame Tussaud, the Metropolitan police and the rise of women authors like Dorothy Sayers, the author also touches on social aspects like literacy and women's roles in Victorian England. Informative and well written! ~ Mary R.
