Well deserved FIVE stars to Erik Larson. Wow – I wish all history books in school were written with such life mixed in. Absolutely wonderful. Well deserved FIVE stars to Erik Larson.

Looking through the eyes of four wonderful characters as they navigate Paris … WOW – wonderful book. I could really picture Paris throughout this whole book. Each character came alive in my imagination and (especially during these times) it was wonderful to be transported into another world. All the positive thoughts aside. It was very…

I’ve recently discovered Naomi Novik and I can’t seem to get enough. Another wonderful book by Novik.She has a way of telling stories without overwhelming the reader. I’m amazed she invented a world, told a story in less than a 7 book series. I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed reading every word, diving into…

More than I expected .. Reviewers mentioned this was an amazing walk through Italy … which is great, but kind of didn’t make me want to pick up the book for *just* that. But WOW – it’s so much more than that. This is a love story, a coming of age story, an adventure and…
