Keeping the House has many characters but it is possible to keep them straight and to get to know each one. Laura passed this book on to me and I took it to Las Vegas, it was a good poolside read.. Each chapter begins with some advice taken from the Good Housekeeping magazine in the 1950's.
I always enjoys stories about houses and this one didn't disappoint.
The Woman in Cabin Ten is a suspense story. I wouldn't read it on a cruise! It's hard to put down, much like Gone Girl or The Girl on the Train. It reminded me of the Safari promo cruise I took with my sister, Kathi. I pictured the ship to be similar, including the staff areas.
My Mrs. Brown is a story of a woman with a dream to own a Oscar de la Renta dress. It seems so unlikely that Mrs. Brown would want a designer dress or that she could ever afford one but the last chapter explains everything. It's a beautiful story of determination and love.
I'll remember this book for a long time.
The Boy is Back is written using emails and texts. This makes for an easy read while traveling.
It's light reading with a good story. Meg Cabot wrote the Princess Diaries and so she ranks pretty high with me. I love that movie.
I need a stack of books for Maui, so any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

I loved The Secret Keeper by Beverly Lewis and I don't know if you like Mary Higgins Clark mysteries, but one of my favorites is A Cry In The Night. My next read will be one of your recommendations!
