A Table By the Window by Hillary Manton Lodge

 

 

 

 

Juliette D'Alisa is the youngest heir to a French-Italian Restaurant & Food Writer. Sorting through her recently passed Grandmother's possessions, she finds a photo of interest. The man in the photo looks an awful lot like her brother Nico. Juliette seeks to find the truth behind this photo and her grandmother's past, all the while trying to keep it from her nosy family. Starting a long distance relationship only seems to complicate things. Will she have the strength to make tough decisions and unveil the truth behind her family's past?

 

 

I LOVED this book. I didn't want to put it down. I was disappointed in how it finished until I flipped a few pages and found and excerpt from the next book. I was thrilled when I saw that the story continues. I can't wait to read that one!

Critical Condition by Richard L. Mabry M.D.

 

 

 

 

Dr. Shannon Fraiser was having a nice quiet dinner with colleagues when a murder occurred. Right on her front lawn. The murder starts a string of mysteries unraveling Shannon's life. All the while Shannon is struggling with an event in her life, much like the murder on her front lawn.

 

Can Shannon overcome her fears from the past and work through the chaos ever present in her life now?

 

 

I really enjoyed this book. It's quite a page turner. Dr. Mabry has a way of mixing suspense and medical aspects that makes the story seem real. I couldn't put it down!

FRAMES: 20 and Something by David H. Kim

Twentysomethings are different today than they were generations ago, but you already knew that. Even so, they are not as bad as people think. A doomed generation? Or just trying to get by in a world gone mad? Trying to understand your life or a twentysomething in it? You should definitely read this book. FRAMES has a great way of bringing you information compacted in a small easy to read book. Did you know that only 30 % of Millenials (aka twentysomethings) believe that churches have their best interests at heart? They believe Universities do more (32%). 25% of Millenials decline to affliate with any organized religion.

 

The top 5 things Millenials want to do before they turn 30:

become financially independant:59%

finish my education:52%

start a carrer:51%

find out who I really am:40%

follow my dreams:31%

 

In 2012, about 36% of adults ages 18 to 31 were living in their parents home. The highest number in this age group in 4 decades.

 

This is just some of the information in this book.

 

The realization that i'm in my mid-twenties just really hit me about a month ago. Rapidly approaching 24 & not really where I want to be in life, I wanted to know if I was the only one. Reading this book gave me some piece of mind. It felt nice to know that I'm not alone in some of my thoughts. I would definitely recommend this book to any Millenial or anyone just wanting to get into the mind of our generation.
