Loved "Nine Lives" by Peter Swanson
Nine Lives by Peter Swanson is about nine people who receive a note in their mailbox. It had nine names on it including their own! They all do not think much about it. Some call it junk mail, are they right or are they dead wrong???
"The Maid" by Nita Prose is a Good One!

"The Starter Wife" by Nina Laurin
In The Starter Wife by Nina Laurin, Claire marries a man 20 years older. People say it is a mistake, but Claire is in love and life is good! Later though, she and her husband are not on the same page anymore. Claire will have to fight to save her marriage and find out if she knows what her husband is up to. This novel starts out slow, but when it picks up it makes up for it and then some. There are plenty twists and turns. Put your thinking cap on for this one and do not believe everything you think you know! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"The Four Winds" by Kristin Hannah is One We Both Liked a Lot!
This is a good book that made me appreciate all I have and how easy my life is compared to what people had to deal with during the Great depression. I felt the characters were real people and cared about them. This is a sad story about what love is and its importance. I couldn't help but wonder how this book would end and was satisfied with the ending. This book certainly opened my eyes and heart to the poor people who live in poverty. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys historical fiction dealing with survival.
This book reminded me of The Children's Blizzard because both dealt with children trying to survive the elements, but I liked this one better because of the writing and because there is more action in it. (5 stars)
