The Nature of Small Birds By Susie Finkbeiner

This was an interesting book about a family that adopts a girl in the Babylift program for Vietnam.  In this time-slip book, you will find three time periods, 1975, 1988 and 2013.  It takes place in the time period I remember all too well in my life, so I can relate to the events that took place and the "way we lived" in those years.

I didn't immediately realize that the three time periods would be told by a different person, but caught on quickly as the book, written in first person, changed first persons.  At first I was a bit confused by that.  I was especially interested in seeing whether she is able to find her birth mother, as this is something that I have done for several people in my life.  

There is family drama, and events that happened to many people of these time frames. I felt that the book would continue and we would see where certain parts of the book led.  Maybe a second book in the future?  I enjoyed the book very much.

I received this book through NetGalley.  All thoughts are my own.

Hope Between The Pages by Pepper D. Basham

Being a reader and having visited libraries since a young girl, this book struck a definite cord with me.  Loved the time-slip which was seamlessly done.  The characters were well described and you start to enjoy them so much. It was wonderful to see the long ago romance.  The scenery lives in your own mind as you read their descriptions.  You are there and you see it and feel it.

I loved Sadie who works in the library of the Biltmore estate but is not to be seen.  The romance is perfect and sweet.  There is so much to enjoy about this book!  So happy that I read this exquisite book.  There is even a little mystery to follow and it's just good!

I received an ebook copy from NetGalley.  All thoughts are my own.

The Lady in Residence by Allison Pittman

This book was really a fascinating book.  It took me a few pages to get totally into this book, but when I did, I had to keep reading.  It was so interesting and I couldn't put it down.  I loved that it took place in San Antonio and as the author described a Mexican restaurant with murals on the walls, I am sure I have been there while visiting this city.  So I felt totally immersed in the location setting, the plot and the characters.  It was excellent!  

It had mystery, suspense, romance and the ghost, well, that was fabulous.  You gotta read this one!

I received a complimentary book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
