Story
Former spy Maggie Bird came to the seaside village of Purity, Maine, eager to put the past behind her after a mission went tragically wrong. These days, she’s living quietly on her chicken farm, still wary of blowback from the events that forced her early retirement. But when a body turns up in Maggie’s driveway, she knows it’s a message from former foes who haven’t forgotten her. Maggie turns to her local circle of old friends—all retirees from the CIA—to help uncover the truth about who is trying to kill her, and why.

I Loved this book. "The Martina Club," had one more mission to perform even though they were supposedly retired. The 5 old friends, now in their 70's & beyond could finally live a life of retirement instead of a life of an CIA agent. I am so much looking for the next Tess Gerritsen's 2nd book in "The Martina Club." But now I must wait until it comes out. Enjoy this Book, like I did.

Faith Ferguson is New York's most in-demand wedding planner, an arbiter of taste for elegant affairs, lavish ceremonies, and exclusive fêtes.

She finds fulfillment in her close relationship with her twin sister, Hope, her role as a mentor for her assistant, Violet, and her career.

Travels with Charley in Search of America

Story
In September 1960, John Steinbeck and his poodle, Charley, embarked on a journey across America, from small towns to growing cities to glorious wilderness oases. Travels with Charley is animated by Steinbeck’s attention to the specific details of the natural world and his sense of how the lives of people are intimately connected to the rhythms of nature—to weather, geography, the cycles of the seasons. His keen ear for the transactions among people is evident, too, as he records the interests and obsessions that preoccupy the Americans he encounters along the way.

A man like all men, want to go some place they have never been. Some place else is always better than we currently are. But we truly know that which we are looking for? Does it really exist? Or is it, that we really need to travel inside our own soul that we are really looking for? Is home what we really want to find?
