RABBIT, RABBIT by Jennifer E. Smith - review will be on December 15, 2026.

An enjoyable, heartwarming, at times heartbreaking, but light read with great characters you will connect with.

See if you can guess what the title means.

THE BUREAU OF UNKNOWN FATES by Gaëlle Nohant - review will be on December 8, 2026.

Very interesting read about reuniting items from WWII to victims or their family.  It does get bogged down and has a lot of characters.

I enjoyed another book on Agatha Christie's disappearance, but this one is too much police procedure and not story.
