Year One by Nora Roberts
Book starts out overseas a couple has attended end of the year celebrations with family and return to NY after the first.
The husband becomes deadly sick and gives it to his wife who also dies soon after. The daughter is pregnant with twins and her husband has died from the virus.
The OB and EMT keep the woman going strong. There is another group of newspaper reporters and they strike out to get the real on the street story to report on. There is also another group of people who have strange powers and use them to keep safe.
There is also a group that want the cannies-those with powers - to die. There is no hope for a cure.
Found this book similar to the tv show=revolution except this one has magic. They all learn to survive and all have skills they bring to the table to share with all.
Good read, hard at times with harsh conditions to listen to about.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
Pie Cookbook: Delicious Homemade Pie Recipes You Can Easily Make! (Baking Recipes Book 1) by Linda Harris
Starts with a table of contents and different crusts then recipes are in no particular order.
Very short intro then the recipes.
Each recipe starts with a title, ingredients and you might be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low sodium, low sugar and low fat products.
Directions on how to make are included. Suggestions how to serve the pie.
There are NO pictures. There is NO nutritional informaiton.
Not too impressed with this book, really needs the pictures as they are a bit on the basic side for me.
Chasing the Music by Mark Alan Leslie
Book starts out with Dan and he's just discovered a miracle tablet of information on the archelogical dig. Soon others with weapons are tearing through the site and he escapes, tumbles down hills on his way to the highway and maybe safety. He gets injured and shot and makes a call to another doctor but she's hours away and gives her a hint of what he found.
Her car is dead and she grabs a ride with Max who has connections with the police to get them to the site and they arrive to Dan waking up on his way to the hospital.
Lots of action and love the information about the achealogical dig and what was uncovered. Lots of praying throughout the book along with quotes from the bible.
Love all the travel and the trouble they find along the way as others are tailing them....
Received this review copy via TBCN from Amazon site and this is my honest review.
Past perfect by Steel_ Danielle
Cybil and Blake married almost 20 years and they have 3 kids-2 in high school and one in first grade, born and raised in NYC and love it there.
Blake gets an offer in San Fran and goes out to check it out-there is nothing that will keep him from going there and making tons of money-he has to persuade his wife and kids to go also...
Not only did he take the job but bought a huge house, very old for them to move into.
20,000 square feet 1902 house with storage that included all art and furniture. Cybil loves the place and the move will give her time to finish writing her book and still do design work if the offers come.
They all arrive with their high tech devices and it's quite the contrast to what the house is all about...
Eathquake occurs and things are moved to new locations prior to that.... Youngest keeps thinking there are hidden passages and ghosts...
Cybil had seen the prior residents as ghosts and tries to explain what she saw when she sees the pictures on the walls.
She reads the family historical book and finds out who they all are and calls in someone who specializes in ghosts and he tells her they feel comfortable there and she wants them gone!
Like how the families meld but i still think it's very weird. What Cybil finds in the book and acts on it is really weird! Servants think the whole family is crazy talking to themselves as they can't see the old family.

The Beach Club By Hilderbrand_ Elin
Hotel on the island and many come to work there to find love and other things.
Quite the mix of people work and come to stay for a bit during the warm summer months to be waited on hand and foot.
So many to follow and all the drama of the island.
Interesting to learn of all the jobs the men have to do prior to the sun rising so guests will have everything ready when they wake up and want to hit the beach.
Lovers, some cheat on spouses, one looking for a man to father her child, others looking for huge tips so they go out of their way to please the guests.
Things go awry and people leave as the summer goes on-some run off to other countries, some bail on the bill, some leave to try new ventures and then a hurricane is forecast to hit-only a little bit, or will it hit them full on?
Surprise ending for all.

Spur of the Moment by Marcia Lee Laycock
Enjoyed this book because of the contents. Most of the chapters are spoken of real things that happened, a moment in time that got the author to link them to a passage in the Bible.
Devotionals, there are so many in this book! They are broken up into chapters of like things devoted to the headings.
Loved hearing of all the adventures the author and her pastor husband have taken around the world.
Author bio at the end.
Freestyle 2018 CrockPot Cookbook: Get in Shape Now! with Delicious WW 2018 Freestyle Crock Pot Recipes for Extreme Weight Loss (Freestyle Cookbook) by Wendy Wilson
Wanted to read this book, not for the weight loss at all but good food.
It's a weight watchers slow cooker book. Each recipe starts with a title, prep and cook time, and servings.
List of ingredients and you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low sodium, low sugar, low fat products.
Directions on how to make are included also with other inforomation on points:
pointsplus, smartpoint, flexplan.
There is no nutritional information. There are few color photos in the book.
Some recipes do include some nutritional information: calories, fat, sat. fat, carbs, sugar, fiber, protein. Not all recipes contain this-not sure why the format is NOT the same for all recipes.
Other recipes include choloesterol and sodium levels.
Don't condone the use of canned beans-they contain too much sodium-make them fresh.
Not all recipes start at the top of a new page. Some of the book does, not all of it.
CROSSOVER(Christian Adventure) (THE CHASER CHRONICLES Book 1)
Starts out with the PI and he's taped to his chair, big headache and something, a ghost shape is in front of him telling him he will have a choice to make.
He learns a few days later he can either follow Jesus or go after the runners and make them crossover. There are chasers and this ghost wants him to become one...
This book is out there as far as my beliefs but was a good read because the author describes things in such detail you feel as if you are there.
Loved all the action, adventure and investigating as we got to go visit in several places.
Received this book free on Amazon and this is my honest opinion.
Make Artisan Bread by Daniel Isaccs
Book starts out with a table of contents and tips and basics of bread making.
Different terms and different breads are explained.
Recipes include a title, list of ingredients and how to make. There are NO pictures.
There is NO nutritional information.
Very thorough resource book.
Say Please, Little Owlet: (Children's book about the Little Owlet Who Learns Manners, Rhyming Kids book, Bedtime Story, Picture Books, Ages 3-5, Preschool Books) by Ellie J. Woods
Colorful rhyming children's book about Owlet and their life in the tree house.
Love what granny owl does-it'd be what i would be doing and am doing. Show the owlet and his other friends playing games.
Like how it teaches manners-something today's kids also need to learn before the words are forgotten.
Other works by the author are highlighted at the end.
