In The Unlikely Event by Judy Blume

In The Unlikely Event by Judy Blume

First Impressions I always enjoyed Judy Blume’s young adult novels growing up, therefore, I was looking forward to her foray into adult fiction.

Twain’s End by Lynn Cullen

First Impressions I know Mark Twain for two things. He wrote Tom Sawyer and for wanted to dig Jane Austen up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.  I shamefully haven’t read his autobiography or any biography of Sam Clemens/Mark Twain. Although, I always love a good author scandal and enjoyed Mrs. […]
