“I just finished reading A Scrapbook of Secrets and wanted to let you know that I had a splendid time getting lost in the world you created. Telling the story from different perspectives made it a little more thrilling to read, the constant changes in view points and the background of those different ladies that affected their view points made it hard for me to put the book down. I stumbled upon your book at the library when I was waiting in the check out line, the library put it on a shelf featuring Librarian Picks and I am happy to have had the chance to read it. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.” kaleesa thanasouk

Hey!! I read your 1st book and can’t wait for the second. When will it be available? I’m a Kindle reader, but also love traditional books. I am an avid scrapbooker trying to keep up with family scrapbooks and seperate scrapbooks for my 6–soon to be 7–grandchildren! As a high school teacher with 4 years to retirement, books take me on the vacations I don’t have time for! —Laura Payne

Dear Mollie: I was just at a Barnes & Noble in CA to pick up some YA titles for some high schoolers. While wandering in the mystery section I saw “Scrapbook of Secrets.” I was happy to see that it was the first in a series. I finished it in a day and loved it. Now I am anxious to read the next book. I have been scrapbooking since 1995 so I enjoyed that theme of the book too.
Great writing. |

Well…maybe the story, the characters and the writing go a little beyond “cozy”. It is just a thought. I guess my point is that I found many of them to be strong, intelligent women who have the confidence to do what makes them happy. Some people just don’t like strong women. I would love to be friends with some of these characters. I really like strong women who are loyal to each other, who encourage each other, who really LIKE each other and I love reading about them!
Finding this book was such a gift! I have been sick and I was just beginning to feel a little bit better when I purchased Scrapbook of Secrets for my Kindle. Reading this good book, centered around scrapping was the next best thing to doing what I didn’t have the energy to do. There is nothing wrong with cozy. I did find myself curled up with this book and that is pretty cozy . —Kathy Bennett
I just finished your book and loved it. I’m not a scrapbooker but loved the cultural tones in the book. Good mystery! —Joyce

I thoroughly enjoyed your last book which I heard about on our local public radio station. As I read your book I felt like like you were writing my life. As a lifelong resident of the DC area, I felt like I had moved to a new world, when I relocated to the Shenandoah Valley. Being Jewish is hard here and what’s with this WRE?????? It further separates the Jews from this unsular community. In time I will make friends with like minded hobbies and mindset but until…… I feel so alone.
First, thank you so much for your comments. I can’t tell you what it means to me that you relate to my books and feel strongly enough to write to me here. AS far as I know, the schools are still doing Weekly Religious Education. My daughters are in middle school and so it’s not an issue for us anymore. But as I understand it, more and more people are opting out, which make it easier on your child if there are others with them. Please feel free to email me at molliebryan@comcast.net if you’d like to chat more. It can be very lonely here for new people. I know that. In the mean time, I wish you the best and thanks once again for commenting.
