Review of “The Senator’s Wife” by Sue Miller
I haven’t done a book review here in a very long time, but I am proud to announce that I am back to reading regularly and I just finished a book that really got to me. It is called “The Senator’s Wife” and it is written by the wonderful Sue Miller, of “The Good Mother” […]
Review of “Lottery” by Patricia Wood
I just finished reading “Lottery” by Patricia Wood. It is one of the sweetest, funniest, smartest books I have ever read. I couldn’t stop smiling. Perry L. Crandall is a man just on the edge of being retarded, but don’t ever use that word around Perry! He is not retarded. His number is 76 and […]
Book Forum
I found this site, Book Forum, while I was cruising the web and wanted to tell you about it. The name is misleading, for not only do they have book reviews and talk about books, but it has up to date news stories, information about essays and articles of interest to those of a cultural […]
Review of “Nineteen Minutes” by Jodi Picoult
Jodi Picoult is one of my favorite authors, so you can imagine how thrilled I was when I saw a book I hadn’t read by her when I last visited the library. This award winning author did not fail to deliver, as she always does. NINETEEN MINUTES is a book that is both disturbing and […]
Review of “Down River” by John Hart
I finished reading DOWN RIVER by John Hart last night and wanted to tell you about it, or moreso tell you about this wonderful author. I love discovering a writer that I haven’t read before that I like. John Hart has such a wonderful writing style and his prose sing. This is not a small […]
Educate Yourself about Bird Flu
The Avian Flu, or Bird Flu as it is more commonly called, is a very real and serious issue. Our nature as humans is to think that because we don’t hear about something in the news everyday that it no longer poses a threat. But with Bird Flu that is definitely not the case. People […]
Review of “Keeping the House” by Ellen Baker
I finished reading “Keeping the House” by Ellen Baker last night and I wanted to tell you about it. If you are an avid reader like me, you are always looking for a special book that you can curl up with like a warm blanket. A good book is better than sex and last WAY […]
Review of “The Double Bind” by Chris Bohjalian
I finished reading “The Double Bind” by Chris Bohjalian last night and I must tell you about it. This New York Times Bestseller is a strange and frightening story with a shocker ending. Laurel Estebrook is a college student and avid bicyclist who is attacked by two men on a dirt road in a secluded […]
Review of “The Post Birthday World” by Lionel Shriver
I just finished reading “The Post Birthday World” by Lionel Shriver and I MUST tell you about it! When I first picked up this 500 plus page book at the library I had doubts about whether I would like it or not. I read so much and have for so long that I can often […]
Review of “Life Sentences” by Alice Blanchard
I just finished reading this great book called “Life Sentences” by Alice Blanchard. If you like psychological thrillers as much as I do this is a book you’ll love! It is the story of two sisters, one a scientist, one a mentally ill wild child.
Daisy Hubbard’s life revolves around trying to find a cure for […]
