Fond Of In The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey Mable and Jack’s neighbors were one of the high points in the story. They felt more developed and dimensional. Ester’s vibrancy and boisterous nature added some life that was desperately needed. The novel was lovingly written. The fact that no quotation marks were used for Faina […]
Throughout the past ten years I have jumped from book club to book club trying to find one that suits me, but to no avail. It was pure accident that I even joined a book club. I ran into someone I knew and they asked if I (and my mom) would like to join their […]
This was a very odd book. The beginning was ok, it talked about her/his grandparents Desdemona and Lefty, who were also brother and sister living in the old country and emigrating to America and eventually getting married. When Callie was born who is Desdemona and Lefty’s granddaughter that it started to get a little unbelievable […]
The tragedy of waiting too long to write a review is that you are given time to forget, so forgive my vagueness. This was a very surprising read, I was not expecting much more than supermarket fluff and was pleasantly surprised by the intensity and depth the book entailed. Jody is a little girl lost, […]
Tonight was my book club meeting for William March’s The Bad Seed. Instead of being held at the local coffee shop my mom and I decided to host it at our house with a viewing of the 1956 movie. The meeting was to begin at 7pm it is now 8pm and the doorbell has yet […]

Okay, this is not a classic post but I like recording my thoughts on my book club if only for myself. Today I am summarizing December and January’s meeting. December Cleopatra: a biography by Stacy Schiff: For the December meeting my mom and I offered to hold the meeting at our house as we decorate […]
I can say one positive thing for French Lessons, it was a fast read, but that’s about all. The back cover proclaimed it as a “page-turner” I do agree with that but not for the same reason, which to be rid of the horrid story! I knew it was a romance but was expecting a […]
Lizzie, our lead protagonist visits the camp with her master Drayle and looks at this time as a mini-vacation to spend with her friends, Sweet, Reenie and Mawu. Wench was an interesting concept but went absolutely nowhere. The bases of the plot was the girls doing some sort of chore, followed by anal sex and […]
First Impressions I recently watched the Diane Sawyer interview with Jaycee Dugard. One word came to mind, why? What would possess anyone to commit such an act? A sick bastard. Room by Emma Donoghue captured my attention with atrocity that is hard to imagine. Impressions While Reading What I liked about Room was that it does […]
