Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah

July 29, 2016 Whitney Review 1 Comment
Winter Garden by  Kristin Hannah

First Impressions Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah takes patience, 150 pages of patience. Although, I plugged on because I could tell the book had potential. In reality, I had to wade through a lot of bullshit from Anya’s daughters Meredith and Nina to get to the good stuff. Anya’s story, the truth behind her fairy […]

Mata Hari’s Last Dance by Michelle Moran

First Impressions My knowledge of Mara Hari extended to her profession as an exotic dancer. It seemed a bit one-dimensional at first.  Although, Michelle Moran always excels at expanding the lives of historical figures.  Thus plowed right in, preparing myself for Fantine’s “I dreamed a dream”. Impressions While Reading I need not have worried. Margaretha […]

The Secret Language of Stones by M.J. Rose

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Books-a-Million | IndieBound   Review The Secret Language of Stones by M.J. Rose is a ghost story of historical proportions. Like in The Witch of Painted Sorrows, the first book of The Daughters of La Lune series, M.J. Rose created a mystical setting in Paris that one can only […]
