It's Always The Husband by Michele Campbell

My Rating: 4.7

Kate, Aubrey and Jenny are inseparable as college roommates – friends who promised they’d always be there for each other. But twenty years later, their friendship is about to take a deadly turn.

I enjoyed getting to know the three girls and their different backgrounds. When it first transitioned to "twenty years later" it took me a chapter or so to adjust but then I got right back in to it. This was a fun thriller that I didn't have figured out till the very end.

A Necessary Evil by Abir Mukherjee Book #2

 My Rating: 4.9

In this sequel, Captain Sam Wydnham and Sergeant Banerjee of the Calcutta Police Force investigate the dramatic assassination of a Maharajah's son.

I am really enjoying this series. The writing is fabulous and I love that "India" is a character of it's own. As much as this is a detective novel, it also has me chuckling at several points. Very well done and I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

Enjoy Your Journey by Joyce Meyer

 My Rating: 5.0

Do you ever think "I will be happen when....". You will learn such lessons as how to make the decision to enjoy life, how to rid yourself of regret, how to experience simplicity in life, how to find joy during times of waiting, and much more! Enjoying life is an attitude of the heart, and you can learn how to enjoy where you are on the way to where you are going.

I consider myself an optimistic person so I wasn't sure if I would glean much from this book. I definitely did - things from working too hard to our expectations of other people. As usual, Joyce had a lot of gems that made me look at things differently.

We Hope For Better Things by Erin Bartelo

 My Rating: 4.6

Three stories in the same house: one set in the late 1800's, one in the 1960's and one in current day. Elizabeth Balsam meets James Rich, his strange request--that she look up a relative she didn't know she had in order to deliver an old camera and a box of photos--seems like it isn't worth her time. But when she loses her job after a botched investigation, she suddenly finds herself with nothing but time.

I don't care for books that are about current events and was concerned that this would be too close to things going on in our world. Thankfully, it only had a bit on it and covered it from a good angle.  I really enjoyed the tie in of the various events and the characters perspectives in the different generations.
