Great thriller Valerie Ross What You Want to See 04/01/2024 The Scarlet Papers Was given as a gift. Recipient delighted, has thoroughly enjoyed reading it and said he thought it was excellent. Sarah Milligan Scarlet Papers 04/01/2024 An emotional rollercoaster that plunges readers into the harrowing realities of the Vietnam War. “Thank God for girlfriends. In this crazy, chaotic, divided world that was run by men, you could count on the women.” Kristin Hannah’s historical novel, “The Women,” is an emotional rollercoaster that plunges readers into the harrowing realities of the Vietnam War. Through the eyes of Frankie, a nurse who faces graphic and gruesome scenes on the battlefield, we see not only the horrors of war but also the challenges of returning home to a society that refuses to acknowledge women’s service in Vietnam. Here are the key elements that make this book a must-read: Frankie’s Struggles: Frankie battles not only the physical trauma of war but also the emotional toll it takes. Her parents’ disregard and disrespect compounded her pain, making her journey back to the USA even more challenging. Heartbreak and Addiction: The novel doesn’t shy away from portraying major heartbreak and the impact of addiction. Frankie’s resilience shines through as she grapples with these demons. Lifelong Bonds: Ethel and Barb, fellow nurses in Vietnam, become Frankie’s lifelines. Their understanding of PTSD and unwavering friendship provide solace amidst chaos. Masterful Storytelling: Hannah’s writing is realistic and raw. Complex characters face genuine struggles, making their survival and strength all the more compelling. A Tribute to Unsung Heroes: “The Women” pays homage to the women who served in Vietnam, sharing their untold stories of courage and bravery. Historical Context: The novel deftly weaves social and political affairs into the lives of these women. From the Civil Rights Movement to Watergate, it captures momentous historical events. Gut-Wrenching but Hopeful: Prepare to be gutted by the emotional intensity, yet find hope in the resilience of sisterhood. Soundtrack: Music plays an important part in the story, it creates a sense of place and mood. It becomes a character of its own. I was thrilled to find a number of playlists on Spotify featuring the songs mentioned in the book. I read “Another Life”, one of this author’s earlier books, last year, and now I fully understand why a number of reviews stated that it was different from her more well-known, recent works. “The Women” is one of my favourite books of the year to date. “The Nightingale” and “The Great Alone,” are now firmly on my to-be-read list. In summary, “The Women” deserves all the stars. It’s a beautifully tragic and mesmerising tribute to the women who served, leaving an undeniable mark on history. Roelia Schoeman The Women 03/31/2024 “Nostalgia is the bittersweet acceptance of all we were and what we’ll never be again.” In this charming debut, readers are transported into the fascinating realm of antiques. The story unfolds in a picturesque English village, where unexpected murder mysteries await. “Fear is a choice. Choose courage.” I quite enjoyed the niece-aunt team of amateur sleuths and felt as if I were unravelling the clues and mysteries with them. This book has the feel of a classic, old-school mystery. “Nostalgia is the bittersweet acceptance of all we were and what we’ll never be again.” What I enjoyed most: Aunt Carole: Aunt Carole, with her larger-than-life personality, steals the spotlight. Her wit and vibrancy make her an unforgettable character. Midlife Exploration: Freya, our unlikely heroine, grapples with a midlife identity crisis. Her journey adds depth and relatability to the narrative. Setting: The quaint English town provides an ideal backdrop for secrets, intrigue, and hidden treasures. Dual Timelines: The interplay between past and present mysteries keeps readers engaged. Arthur’s Wisdom: Arthur’s nuggets of wisdom at the start of each chapter lend a delightful touch. Cosy Atmosphere: Picture yourself curled up with this book on a wintry day, sipping tea under a warm blanket While brimming with potential, the book could benefit from additional editing and polishing. The ending tantalisingly hints at future sequels, leaving readers eager for more Freya and Aunt Carole adventures. “There is no greater thrill than finding what has been lost,” The Antique Hunter’s Guide to Murder” promises a fresh start to a cosy mystery series. Whether you’re an antique aficionado or a newcomer, this delightful tale invites you to unravel its secrets alongside our endearing sleuths. Note: You don’t need expertise in antiques to enjoy this captivating mystery! Roelia Schoeman The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder 03/30/2024 Harry Potter The Film Vault Vol 3 So happy with this book. Lovely behind the scenes information and photos about the horcruxes and Deathy Hallows development and designs. Can't wait to get the other books in the series. Michelle Foonk Harry Potter: The Film Vault - Volume 3: The Sorcerer's Stone, Horcruxes & The Deathly Hallows 03/28/2024 Jan Smuts Well written and thought out book. Well worth the read if interested in South African history. Jacob Clewlow Jan Smuts 03/28/2024 Excellent Research Wish I knew about this book sooner. Many many questions were answered. Dr. Hill explains so much technical info in layman terms without overwhelming the reader with doomsday notions. Her book is balanced and allows the reader to come to their own informed decisions and conclusions Joleen Ngonga This Is Your Brain on Birth Control 03/27/2024 The Best English language Fantasy-book of the 21st Century. It is truly a magical book, funny in parts, romantic in others. With some of the best world-building in a fantasy book since Tolkien.

The author has an incredible ability to pull you out of reality and immerse you completely in the world of the characters. Overall, it’s an amazing book with exceptional writing, and it definitely left me counting down the days until Book 3. M Master and Margarita: New Translation Mark Pretorius **An amazing book and literary whirlwind** It took me a few attempts to get into the book, and then it took off like a rollercoaster. Satire, fantasy, and philosophy all wrapped into the same pages with language like I have never read before. It combines satire, fantasy, and philosophy within the same pages, featuring a unique style of language that I've never encountered before. Every sentence is meticulously crafted with hidden meanings, making it a pleasure to read not only for the story but also for its writing style. The book is occasionally chaotic, and you may need to reread a few chapters to fully grasp what is happening. After learning about the book's purpose—exposing the hypocrisy, corruption, and spiritual emptiness of Soviet life—I decided to pick up "Heart of a Dog." It was darkly comical and philosophical, an easier read but just as enjoyable. A Private Chef, My Recipes and Stories from Israel to Silicon Valley Aya Lu **A Masterpiece of recepies and exceptional photos** 'Private Chef' by Chef Luria reminded me why we cook. Not just to eat, but to connect, to remember, to honor the hardworking people who came before us, and to make ourselves at home wherever we are. It's the rare cookbook that feeds both your stomach and your soul. If you're looking for molecular gastronomy or trendy techniques, look elsewhere. But if you want to fall in love with cooking and get messy hands, this is what you want: the beautiful process of building a life through food. This cookbook is an absolute gift with exceptional photos of food- just art!. Buy it. Cook from it. Keep it forever. Give it to everyone you love. A Die drie weduwees Amanda Claassens **'n Ou saak, drie weduwees en 'n onverskrokke joernalis** “Soms verwens sy hierdie ding in haar wat moet weet.” (p.326) Hierdie paar woorde sê baie oor ondersoekende misdaadjoernalis, Ami Prinsloo. Sy is onverskrokke, hardkoppig, hou op ’n aweregse manier altyd so na as moontlik aan die waarheid. En sy laat ’n ding nie los nie, nie eers wanneer sy bedreig word of onmin op die hals haal nie. Wanneer haar goeie vriend, afgetrede polisiegeneraal, Paul de Jager, sterf aan ’n koeëlwond, word Ami belas met sy laaste wens, naamlik om ‘n ou saak weer te besoek, dié van ’n vyftienjarige seun wat in 1998 spoorloos verdwyn het. Paul was drie maal getroud, vandaar drie weduwees wat almal ’n rol speel in die ondersoek waarby Ami al hoe dieper betrokke raak. Die interessante storielyn wat vinnig beweeg, het my vasgenael gehou. Ek het ook baie gehou van die manier waarop die skrywer die gebeure in 1998 aangebied het, en wel vanuit die gesigspunt van verskeie rolspelers wat betrokke was. Die drie weduwees is die vierde boek in die reeks oor Ami Prinsloo. Dit volg op Minder as niks, Die verkeerde vrou en Al wat tel. Ek het al bes gegee met reekse, kan eenvoudig nie al die vorige detail onthou nie, maar nogtans kon ek hierdie een met gemak lees en waardeer. Wat weereens bewys watter uitmuntende krimiskrywer, Irma Venter is. Die drie weduwees is uitgegee deur Tafelberg, ‘n druknaam van NB uitgewers, nou onder die vaandel van Jonathan Ball Uitgewers. A Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared Anonymous **Really good book!!!** It's absurdly witty and adventurous with a touch of dark humour throughout. Really enjoy both the modern and historical settings of the book. Good for someone re-entering the reading world after a while (like myself), and I recommend for those who enjoy comedic or hist fic books. 123
