Thriller #3 - Come Sundown

#3 on my Thriller Countdown to Halloween is...

Come Sundown by Nora Roberts

As I was scrolling through the books I've read in the past year or so on the Goodreads app, looking for options for my Thriller Countdown, I saw Nora Roberts Come Sundown and let out an involuntary, "Yaaaasssssssss!"

Nora Roberts is an amazing writer. Not only can she jump from one genre to another with ease, she also has the ability to blend genres, such as in Come Sundown: A thrilling blend of suspense, mystery, and romance.

You may like this book if:

✔ you LOVE a strong, empowered, confident female leader as your protagonist
✔ you dream of the beautiful landscape of Montana
✔ you don't mind a little romance mixed in with your thrill ride
✔ you want a book that you just CAN'T put down
✔ you want a book that makes you fall in love with its characters and miss them when the book comes to an end

The plot of this book is a little jarring, a little crazy, BUT you will LOVE the characters in this book. I was ready to pack up and move to a ranch in Montana after reading Come Sundown.

A Review of "Educated" by Tara Westover

Educated by Tara Westover is a memoir about the author's childhood growing up in a survivalist family in rural Idaho. Her father, being anti-establishment, never sent her to school and her homeschooling consisted of finding books to read to herself around the house. At 17, she studies for and takes the ACT, is accepted to Brigham Young University, and from there goes on to earn a doctorate at Cambridge. It is a story of overcoming one's trials and pushing through to achieve what shouldn't have been possible. Reviewing a memoir is difficult, because while there are parts of the story you may dislike, you can't fault them for being what happened to the best of the author's memory. This book was extremely well written. It is clear that the author is well read and well educated in the way she presents the story. There were times, though, where she was quoting her mother or sister from emails that were written and she changed their verbiage completely to match her...

A Man Called Ove

I know I'm a few years behind on reading this one, so many of you have probably already read A Man Called Ove. If you have put this book on your "to read" shelf and forgotten about it, I demand that you take it down, dust it off, and read it at once. **Side note: Ove is pronounced "oo-vuh" I had to look it up. I will say, it took me a few chapters to fully attach myself to the book, but there was a moment where I was sitting in the hallway of a public dance school while my son was in class. I was reading this book and had to put it down, because I was about to full on start weeping in front of all of these random people I don't know! This book got to me. I have a soft spot for grumpy old men. I married a grumpy man. They are fiercely loyal and utterly loveable. The writing in this book is unbelievably good. There is a chapter when he talks about the friendship between Ove and another old man, Rune, and why the friendship ended. BUT, he does it...

All the Apps a Reader NEEDS

Today I bring you the 5 apps that every reader needs! Are you super attached to your paperbacks? Do you love books, but feel like you're spending too much money on your favorite reads? Did you know that you can check out ebooks and audiobooks for FREE from your library and have them available on your eReader AND phone?! Do you wish someone knew your taste in books well enough to give you AWESOME recommendations? What you need to begin: a smart phone, an eReader/ tablet (my favorite is the Kindle), and a library card! Seriously, if you don't have a library card, you need to stop reading right now and GO GET ONE!!! The Kindle App Whether or not you have a Kindle, you should be able to download the Kindle app. It stores all of your ebooks. It allows you to change the reading settings, size of font, color of font, etc. My favorite part, though, is that I can read an eBook on my Kindle, and then later if I pick up my phone and open my Kindle App, it goes to the exact pag...
