Tell us a little bit about yourself
I’m GenX, the feral kind that drank from the hose. I have enough life experience to be 100 but I act like I’m 30. I over-decorate for Christmas, cry at commercials and memorize songs and movie lines

The Last Days of John Lennon
James patterson
Why did you like it?
Part Beatles trivia and part true crime. A lot of details about Lennon’s early life, rise to fame and relationship with Paul that I knew nothing about … and I thought I knew it all!
2.
Razorblade Tears
SA Cosby
Why did you like it?
Raw and gritty thriller/mystery. An unlikely alliance forms between two men with sinister pasts …. and every reason to hate each other. This is a moving “last chance for redemption” page-turner.

The Road to Tender Hearts
Annie Harnett
Why did you like it?
Found family, flawed characters a chaotic roadtrip in a “borrowed” Volvo and a very intelligent cat named Pancakes… what more do you need?
4.
Crow Mary
Kathleen Grissom
Why did you like it?
“Goes-First” was a Crow chief’s daughter in 1860’s Montana. Her story is action packed and emotionally charged- this book was thoroughly researched and endorsed by her descendants.
5.
The Tortoise’s tale
Kendra Coulter
Why did you like it?
A giant tortoise observes human interaction and decades of societal change at an estate in Southern California. She was brought there from her ancestral home by and eccentric wildlife collector. She has the most authentic voice and the purest heart and soul that I’ve encountered in years.
