"My Darling Husband" by Kimberly Belle is a Nail-Biter

My Darling Husband by Kimberly Belle is all about one extremely bad day for Cam and Jade and their two young children.  Jade and her son and daughter are held held hostage by a masked man with a gun in their own home while waiting for Cam to bring $734,296 by 7 p.m.!  Cam is a celebrity chef with several high-end restaurants, but with some big secrets not even his wife is aware of.  

This is full of suspense.  I really liked the interaction between the gunman and the kids.  This book had twists I did not expect and could not guess the ending.  This was a fascinating read for me inspired by true events!  (Karen's review 9/19/22, 5 Stars)  

Gerard's review:  

My Darling Husband by Kimberly Belle deals with a married couple, Jade and Cam.  They have two children.  All seems fine from the outside; however, when Jade and her children are held hostage in their home by a gunman, secrets come out that paint not so nice a picture.  This is good stuff!  I liked the storyline and really got to care about the characters.  (5 stars)

"The Woods Are Always Watching" by Stephanie Perkins

The Woods Are Always Watching by Stephanie Perkins is about two teen girls going on their first camping trip.  They are best friends but will be separated when they go to different colleges in the fall.  What should be a fun time turns into a nightmare!  This book is good stuff!  I liked both girls and the story moved along.  (Gerard's review, 5 stars)

"Mr. Klutz Is Nuts!" My Weird School 2 series by Dan Gutman

Mr. Klutz Is Nuts! is the second book in My Weird School series by Dan Gutman.  In this book is all about the principal doing funny things to motivate the students.  The reader learns about incentives.  I liked that the students became concerned about their principal and were willing to learn without his incentives.  I enjoyed this one but it didn't make me laugh out loud like some of the others in this series did.  (Karen's review, 3 stars)

"Little Eyes" by Smanta Schweblin is a Strange One!

1.    

In Little Eyes by Samanta Schweblin people buy a Kentuki to keep them company.  It’s like a robot pet, but not all of them follow the wishes of their owners.  I thought this was pretty good.  It went to different people so I never knew what was going to happen next.  (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

My Weird School I Can Read! Series (Level 2—Reading With Help) by Dan Gutman

All the books in this series have large colorful pictures that little kids would enjoy with very little reading.  They are very short but are great for young readers. 

 Goes to the Museum
