The Shadow Box, by Luanne Rice. Trying to find out who tried to kill her and left her for dead. Her husband, soon to running for Governor, or her step-son, or one of the rich and powerful friends of her husband. Possibly one of many others. Not to mention another woman in their group of friends is killed the same day. Very good thriller.

I just finished The Four Winds by Kristen Hannah. If you like historical fiction, give this a try. It is set in Texas & California during the years of the Dust Bowl. I highly recommend this book. I found it to be a page-turner but warn readers to keep a box of tissues at hand. The author creates strong, richly developed characters who tell a story of adapting to life changes in settings that are vivid & unforgettable. This story lingers long after the last page is finished.

I also finished The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah a few days ago and I loved it. My favorite genre to read are psychological thrillers and this is not that, however, it's going to take an amazing book to knock this one down from being the favorite for 2021. I know it's early to say that but it's that good. Kristin Hannah has definitely become one of my favorite authors.

I agree with @cocolvr7 ...keep the tissues handy!

The Island of the Sea Women by Lisa See - a very powerful historical fiction novel.

I am about 3/4 through No Place I'd Rather be by Cathy Lamb, I am enjoying this book! It is heartbreaking in parts, has very colorful charactes, and mentions food & more food, why is it every book I choose has food in it, without me even knowing it beforehand? I had trouble sleeping so I just decided to get up at 2:30 a.m. and continue my reading, my happy place!

I have loved animals all my life and this true story is not only about Harry & Minnie, it is about the love of dogs and the love of friendship. It's about life and faith and the unexpected, seemingly "coincidental" serendipitous moments that happen. Although death comes to us all, in the meantime, there are so many opportunities to “see the joy & help each other”...and in the process, help ourselves. I highly recommend "When Harry met Minnie."

I read this book a few months ago thanks to Celadon which provided books to Little Free Libraries. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry (I did both). It was so good.

Between Two Kingdoms by Suleika Jaouad. I've just started it but it's intense and magical. A young lady battles leukemia for four years--and her story is told in The New York Times. Once she's doing better, she and her dog take a road trip to visit all the people who wrote to her, giving her encouragement. She learns the lesson that no journey is taken alone.
