Bio
For more book recommendations or reviews, see my Goodreads profile: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/12603462 I mainly enjoy action, adventure, drama/mystery thriller, fantasy, sci-fi, 90s chick flicks, and comedy. Sometimes into the “based on a true story” movies. Same goes for books, I appreciate good storytelling.

L HEasily binged the 2 seasons. First season had me hooked especially with Allison not making it after the cleaning. I like going for the drama mystery. I was hoping the sheriff was going to make it but had me disappointed when they didn’t keep his character around. I already knew I didn’t like Bernard Holland from the start. I didn’t get season 2’s ending so I hope they explain that in the next season. I hope the safeguard procedure is explained too, I want to know why Lukas suddenly had a “nothing matters anymore, we’re doomed from the start” attitude and why the vault only wanted Camille.

L HInsightful experiences from Jack Mandelbaum who was a Holocaust survivor.<br/><br/>““It is amazing how much misery the human body can tolerate,” Jack said…”And I wondered, How did I survive those winters when I had only a thin uniform to wear while I worked outdoors all day doing heavy labor?”<br/><br/>Greater than the physical suffering is the emotional. “Almost all of us suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome…At the Jewish Community Center day school, I sometimes see preschoolers lined up with their teacher. I tremble, remembering that the Germans marched little ones just like that to the gas chambers.””<br/><br/>

L HI listened to the audiobook on and off. Boy, this author really went to town with the prompt, “If trees could talk.” And I liked it. This is a nice book especially good for kids.<br/><br/>I liked the story the author went with having it involve community and some racism towards a family that had recently just moved into the neighborhood and what good things people could accomplish when working together. I like the dialogue the animals have with each other and Red the actual main character, the tree. It was a pleasant surprise and I liked how Red truly has lived to see history and how the community eventually was shaped, starting with Mave, an Irish lady who started the tradition of making Red the wishing tree.<br/><br/>Imagine the stories trees could really tell us if they could physically talk.<br/><br/>

L HRecommended by a friend for me to read it. It was a little formulaic for a romance novel but it was still good. Still has some of the lovey-dovey hot romance I like and the gushy words I’d want my future romantic partner to say to me.<br/><br/>Unbelievable of seeing that happen though, I think I would have liked Cole to be a drug lord, a spy, or an FBI agent instead of a Mafia boss. I also don’t think they would have been so organized like the author described the men to be. They acted more like he was the president instead of a mafia boss. It was also a weird transition near the middle or last 3rd of the book to change perspectives from Addison to Cole, I think it would have been fine if it stayed in Addison’s first person perspective or have the chapters switch off in their perspectives.
