Ali Cross by James Patterson is a very good mystery book. It has a wonderful and suspenseful plot that always made me want more

Not that easy to follow along with the pictures and instructions, even with a lot of the basic sewing skills.

Powder Burn

Like another book in this series on which he collaborated with another author, this lacks the humor and quirkiness of his other novels. It’s well written and an interesting story, but not quite as entertaining.

Cannot finish it. Too heavy and depressing.

This book kept popping into my radar as an Indie Next pick for July 2025 and I read about it via The NY Times. I don’t often go for nonfiction memoir/biography but my interest piqued at this tale of a couple surviving adrift for four months after their yacht capsized. It’s a wild story and worth a read. I listen to the short audiobook on Spotify.

We enjoyed this trip to India with Jack and Annie. It was interesting to learn about endangered species like tigers and rhinoceroses.

Look Closer

book cover


I listened to this audiobook on Libby because it was picked for the Portland State alumni book club. I enjoyed the various perspectives and unreliable narrators in this tale of a Halloween murder. The plot skips around in time and feels like a tangled web of infidelity, betrayal, and financially motivated deceit. While rather elaborate in plotting and timeline, I did enjoy this twists and felt it was well paced.
