Weekend Book Reviews

5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesn't Quit by Nicki Koziarz takes a look at the book of Ruth in the Bible.  The author provides plenty of real life examples of times she has quit or life has been less than perfect.  I appreciated her honestly as life can be very trying at times.  The author related the five habits to Ruth, but the book falls a bit short if you are looking for in depth Bible study.  I did find it encouraging and worth reading. 





Ginger Bolton is the author of Survival of the Fritters, the first book in the Deputy Donut Mystery series.  Emily, once a 911 operator, is now the co-owner of a doughnut shop.  She works with her father-in-law who is a former police chief as well as her feline Deputy Donut.  When one of the shops regulars, Georgia, does not show up to meet with her friends, Emily goes with them to search the house.  Georgia is dead in her home, and Emily has a mystery to solve.  I enjoyed the premise of this book as well as the characters, but it seemed to drag on and on.  In addition to it being slow, the story was repetitive.  Emily would repeat herself.  I might blame the slowness of the book to the fact that it was the first and would read a second book.   

disclosure:  I received these e-books through NetGalley but was not otherwise compensated for these reviews.  All opinions are my own!
