"Triggered--How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us" by Donald Trump Jr.
I don't generally read political books; however, I did read Triggered by Donald Trump Jr. because I got it for free and wanted to learn more about the Trump family. I found this book to be very enlightening regarding all the opposition President Trump faces, exactly what fake news existed and why Trump should be re-elected as President. Donald Trump Jr. shares lots of detail which got boring at times, but worked in sarcasm and humor. I would recommend it to anyone who is unsure who to vote for in the upcoming Presidential election and I think most Republicans would enjoy it. (Karen's review, 4 stars)

"Backlash" by Brad Thor
In Backlash by Brad Thor, Scot Harvath works undercover for the USA. He has been double-crossed, but was the only one to survive a plane crash that he was on headed for death. Now he is free but in enemy territory. He will have to be at his very best to survive.
This is a long book (over 600 pages in large print) so some down time is in it. However, for the most part, I really enjoyed it! There is good action, good guys vs. bad guy stuff, and a really good ending! (Gerard's review, 5 stars)
Teaser from page 12 (large print edition): "The only way that man walks off this plane is with one of us," he said from behind his mask.

"Barely Legal" by Stuart Woods and Parnell Hall
Barely Legal centers around Herbie Fisher, who gets mixed up with the mob and other unsavory characters. This is a pretty good book with a good flow and stayed on point. It even had some funny parts that I thought added to the enjoyment of the story. I also liked the ending.

"Little Broken Things" by Nicole Baart
In Little Broken Things by Nicole Baart, Quinn receives a message from her sister, Nora. Nora has something for her. Turns out that something is a little girl! Nora tells her to keep her safe and then takes off. For the most part, this book was good but dragged in some parts. The story itself was good. I just think it could have been told shorter. The ending was the best part of the book for me. (Gerard's review 8/14/20, 4 stars)
Karen's review 9/11/20:
Little broken things by Nicole Baart is about a two sisters, Nora and Quinn, and a little girl who Nora dumps off on Quinn with no information as to why or who she is except instructions to just keep her safe for a few days. It deals with motherhood and family. I can't say much more than that without giving things away.
I thought this book was okay but did not like how it dragged along and jumped from parts I was interested in to something else entirely. It has discussion questions in the back for use at book clubs as well as some suggested activities for book clubs related to the story. (3 stars)
Teaser from page 31: What could she say? Get the quest room ready, I'm strapping you with a reticent six-year-old for I don't know how long. Oh, and I don't intend to tell you a thing about her.

"Look For Me" by Lisa Gardner Needs More Action!
In Look For Me by Lisa Gardner, a family is shot to death except for one of the girls. Did she do it or is the killer still after her? Why was the family killed? The premise of this story is good and I liked most of the characters; however, it needed more action. Most of this novel was just talking with a just an okay ending. I fell asleep listening to this audio book more than once--a bit boring.
