Book Review and Giveaway: Sprinkled with Sabotage

"Miss Peach in the Courtyard with a Rope!" I announced to Robert and Gracie when I tried to guess who-dun-it in our latest game of Clue Master Detective.  I opened the envelope and was stunned to see Fountain written on the card instead of Courtyard.  I looked at my notes and, chagrinned, admitted, "I forgot I had the Courtyard."  My daughter had already guessed wrongly - because she didn't realize I had two cards when she guessed in one particular room - which meant my husband won yet again - but this time only because we messed up.  Oh well, it goes like that sometimes.

I love a good mystery with some suspense thrown in and Sprinkled with Sabotage was a good story in that genre.

Book Review and Giveaway: Restoring Fairhaven

Restoring Fairhaven is the latest book in the Independence Islands series.  If you're not familiar with the series, the books are set on different fictitious islands that are located off the coast of Georgia.  This is the last book in the series of books about Merriweather Island.  If you want to read my reviews of the other books, go to my former blog (http://21stcenturykeeperathome.blogspot.com/p/p.html) and scroll down to the list of book reviews.

Book Review and Giveaway: Justified Means

This is probably the third, maybe the fourth time, I have read this book!  It is That Good!  I love the premise of a private organization rescuing those in danger, even against their will, in order to keep them safe.  I love the characters.  Keith is a truly humble kind of hero who kind of struggles with the part of his job but does his best to ensure safety and even comfort for his clients.  Erika is a fiesty thing who doesn't just submit willingly to being kidnapped.  One of the best things about all of Chautona's books is that she infuses real life with well-thought-out emotions and actions of her characters.  Even though this is completely fictional, I felt like I was there witnessing the events that could very well be a thing in America and we don't even know it!  The book is exciting but not over the top.  I would give this book to anybody who enjoys suspense.

Every year, one of my favorite things to do is to go to used book sales for homeschoolers.  Unfortunately, because of Covid-19, the biggest one of the year, sponsored by our local homeschool association (MHEA),  had to be canceled.  However, another favorite book sale which was begun by a mom five years ago was held earlier this year.  This one is great because it is held at a local park, there is no entry fee, and I always see people I know!
