The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley

I picked this up because I needed a light fun read. I had read multiple reviews on it saying that it was a good clean romance read. I even paid full price for the Kindle version which is something that I rarely do.

When We Left Cuba

When We Left Cuba by Chanel Cleeton was published in 2019. It is historical fiction. I have read that you do not need to read Chanel Cleeton’s books based on her Cuban family’s stories, in order, but I think they will be more enjoyable if read in order.

All the Pretty Places

Waxing On

Waxing On by Ralph Macchio was published in 2022. It is a memoir. This is a great book for anyone who grew up in the 1980s watching The Karate Kid movie.

The Shell Seekers

The Shell Seekers by Rosamunde Pilcher was published in 1987, so it is a backlist historical fiction book. Thirty five years later and this is still a book that people read and love. So many books don’t hold the test of time, but this one does.
