This is my first Hemingway book and I have to say …. I’m impressed. I really enjoyed this style of writing. I can see how this wouldn’t be for everyone though. The style of writing, to me, is the type where the conversation seems to pull the story along. It might have gotten a bit bogged…

I thought maybe this author would blow me away but like a previous book I’ve read of hers, it fell flat. The book isn’t bad, necessarily. I read it and enjoy reading it. The thing is, all the twists and turns… all the times I thought it’s obviously so-and-so… it falls flat in the end. I really…

This is my first Paula McLain novel and right when I finished, I started googling her other novels to purchase more. *** That being said **** This novel didn’t knock words out of the park for me. It wasn’t amazing. It kinda dragged. The ending that I read this (relatively) long book for left be slightly disappointed. The main character’s…

This was a REALLY cute book! It was funny and an overall great plot line. The storyline may be heavy, but the characters keep these heavy subjects light. I loved the (sometimes corney) one liners from Maxine. The book isn’t that moving where there is too much to say about it. I would classify this as a classic airplane…

OH this one was interesting. This is my first Krueger book. Funny how life can time things perfectly. I just happen to attend a Smithsonian presentation of the Indian code talkers which briefed viewers in the beginning of boarding schools, etc while reading this book. Anyways – the book was good. A good mystery.…

They will most likely say how much they love creating new characters and bringing back the old ones that they might even believe it themselves. They don’t though.…

I’ve recently renewed my obsession with the classic authors that made the 1920’s the 1920s. (If you know what I mean..) I’m a big believer that you are shaped and ultimately affected by those you surround yourself with. Hemingway is no exception. The women that he chose to spend time with an in some cases,…

What to say about ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors”…. Honestly I went into it not liking it. I didn’t like the synopsis. So my first advice to you is not read it. It felt very “And Then There Were None” and I was getting tired of reading books like that. On top of it, it sounded like it was…

I am a big fan of historical fiction, so I really enjoyed this story. I’ve read a few (A LOT) of WWII stories, but I have never read one set in Venice. That was SO interesting to me. Also interesting how the author mentions more than once that WWII hit other parts of Europe harder…
