The Help

Here is a great book with a great message done in a way that is not over the top. For those that have seen the movie especially, this is something up your alley. For those that are unfamiliar to The Help, it talks about an issue that is not so much in the forefront of […]

The Paris Winter

Fresh out of my hands and into a box, I have book number three done for this year; hopefully with this shut in that came in affect this past week I can have more done. The Paris Winter described badly follows three women in 1910 Paris who belong to the art community and they get […]

The Elizabeth Omnibus

Good morning, everyone! It took me about five months to read this three-books-in-one volume, what with the holidays and what have you, but it is over and I am so glad to be done with it. The Elizabeth Omnibus covers three books by Irwin about the beginning of the Elizabethan era, starting with the death […]

Ben-Hur

This, like the book I am reading now, took way too long to get through. I honestly gave up halfway through and went through an art phase before coming back and reading the second half. By doing that, I did not make myself miserable for reading a book that was heavy in language and description. […]

The Great Gatsby

This is a great book, I will start with that; this is such a tragic drama where no one is innocent and no one is guilty; it can all be blamed on human nature. You hear a lot about these kind of people: the ones that go to such great heights to find the person […]

Memoirs of a Geisha

You may have heard of the movie version [I thought it blew], so the book will be pretty familiar [??]. I read this out loud with my husband and he also said this was a good book as well. I enjoyed it. It was humorous, dramatic, pretty realistic, and well written. it had a decent […]

Mary Called Magdalene

I remember reading this in the summer and enjoying it very much. I had read a different book on the same subject where it went with the theory that Jesus and her secretly married and had a child like they believe in The Da Vinci Code. This is not that, ha-ha. This is much more soft […]

Every Man Dies Alone

Every Man Dies Alone is one of the best books I have ever read in life, ever. I had heard a few months after reading that Hollywood will be turning this into a movie and I swear, if they goof it I will be super salty. This is a nice blend of non-fiction and fiction, […]

The Law of Dreams

I had just finished The Law of Dreams a couple of days ago, and I will say that it got real very fast. We go with Fergus, who lived on the mountain belonging to a farmer in the mid-1800s who just goes through the following one-two years going from place to place trying to find […]

Psalm at Journey’s End

I just finished this today, and I swear this would be a Top Tier book if that one thing would have been different, not that I am splitting hairs. The story follows the musicians that were on board the Titanic and continued playing until the very end. Hansen does a wonderful job of bringing backstories […]
