Thirty-Two Going on Spinster
Thirty-Two Going on Spinster by Becky Monson My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed this story as a fun read of a quirky character who holds no illusions about herself.

Silas Marner
Silas Marner by George Eliot My rating: 3 of 5 stars A few weeks ago, I saw a copy of “Silas Marner” on the shelf in a used bookstore for $2.00. I hadn’t read it since high school when I wasn’t particularly thrilled with it. But … I wanted to read it again. And IContinue reading “Silas Marner”

Ain’t Misbehavin’
Ain’t Misbehavin’ by Jennifer Lamont Leo My rating: 5 of 5 stars What a great way to experience the Roarin’ Twenties! Leo does a bang-up job of setting the reader into the thick of gangster-ridden Chicago at a very volatile time in U.S. history. It’s a roller coaster of ups and downs that will keepContinue reading “Ain’t Misbehavin’”
