15:17 to Paris. Why, oh why, did director Clint Eastwood use the real people in this film? It made the film almost unbearable to watch.

January 2020 Books

 This was an excellent detective story.

 A modern twist on a female vampire.

A cross between The Da Vinci Code and Raiders of the Lost Arc. Fast-paced and entertaining, but totally ludicrous.

Highly entertaining tale about the friendship of three women, and how two were inspired by the early death of the third to change their lives.

Action-packed thriller set in a prep school, with clones.

December 2019 Books

This was a very good first novel about the long term consequences of decisions made when young.

This was my book club's December pick, and well-liked by most of us.

Two short mystery novellas. Entertaining, but not memorable.

This was a fast-moving thriller set in the Pacific Northwest.

This is an entirely convincing book, but I still can't seem to bring myself to delete facebook!

This is an entirely charming kids book, with great illustrations.
