These are the books I read for the week of September 5th-12th. I read a total of 12 books which brings my 2021 yearly total to 271 books read. The page total comes to 3,338 pages read. I did have one DNF. I will talk about that book first and then go in order of the books that I read.
Conflict is Not Abuse By: Sarah Schulman
This is the book that I DNF’D. It is a nonfiction book. It started out great but she kept repeating herself and it read slow. I got her point and wished she would move on.
Class Reunions Are Murder By: Libby Klein
I gave this book 4 stars. It had a slow beginning but picked up. This is the first book in a new cozy mystery series. This is the 25th class reunion for the main character. Her husband has passed away about 6 months before the reunion and she has gained some weight and she isn’t sure she wants to return back to her town. She does go back and things start happening.
I Survived The Galveston Hurricane. 1900 By: Lauren Tarshis
I gave this book 5 stars. I love reading her books on history. She makes it come alive and simple for the young children. I have been to Galveston and seeing the area now and comparing it to the picture she draws is amazing. I recommend that you read this series.
Earthsea: Tehanu By: Ursula K. Le Guin
I gave this book 3 stars. It is the 4th book in her Earthsea series. It has been awhile since I have read the books before so I had an issue some of the people. It was a nice to go back into the world but nothing earth shattering happened.
Jurassic Park By: Michael Crichton
I gave this book 4 stars. I have seen the movie several times but never read the book. I really enjoyed the movie but I will say the book is a lot better. The book gives you more information and has a different out come than the movie.
The Red Pearl By: Jennifer L. Armentrout
This is a very short story to her series the Blood and Ash. I gave it 3 stars. Sorry there is no picture that I could for it.
Namesake By: Adrienne Young
I gave this book 3 stars. It is the second book to her Fable series. I enjoyed going back into the world but nothing to really hold my attention.

I gave this book 3 stars. This book has the talks given at a women’s conference in 1996. This is a yearly conference that is to be insight for the women of my church. The talks were okay.
Richard Evans’ Quote Book
I gave this 3 stars. It was just a collection of his favorite quotes. I never heard of Richard Evans before but it was interesting to read his favorite quotes.
Sisters of Sword and Song By: Rebecca Ross
I gave this book 4 stars. It is about two sisters who are trying to save a queen from her sister. It was a very good fantasy.
