I give Eowyn Ivey five out of five birds for her novel The Snow Child! This wasn't a book I would probably have picked up unless my brother in law had recommended it and I'm glad he did.

I give Celeste Ng 4 out of 5 birds for Everything I Never Told You. This was a very unique read. It was terribly sad and depressing but beautifully written.

I give Margaret Atwood and The Testaments 3 out of 5 birds.... It's the second in the Handmaid's Tale Series. Was this book needed? No, not really. I did enjoy aunt Lydia and did think some of the other narrators were occasionally interesting. I enjoyed it but not enough to remember details.... If you like... Continue Reading →
I give You Too? by Janet Gurtler 5 out of 5 birds! I received this months ago from Netgalley but had such a hard time opening hence the delay.... But I'm so glad I did! I think everyone should read it. My eyes were open to new ways of thinking. Ideas that were not even... Continue Reading →
