Hello Everybody!!! I hope everybody had great Flag and Juneteenth Days! I sure did!

So the most logical thingContinue reading “What Am I Reading – Chapter Fifteen”
Around the World in 80 Days With Michael Palin Book Review
One of the first things that I’m going to do once this pandemic is over is travel. I’m not talking about going on a day trip, but traveling out of state to somewhere that I’ve never been before. I’ve been fantasizing about this for a while, and I blame this on two things. One isContinue reading “Around the World in 80 Days With Michael Palin Book Review”
Stranger in the Shogun’s City: A Japanese Woman and Her World Book Review
Warning: This review will briefly discuss sexual assault. As a librarian, one of my tasks is to do collection development. What does this mean? It involves adding items to and removing ones from the collections that I’m in charge of as well as keeping them up to date. So, at least once a week, IContinue reading “Stranger in the Shogun’s City: A Japanese Woman and Her World Book Review”
Lilac Girls Book Review
I’ve been reading historical fiction for a long time, and I’ve noticed that the genre adores stories about World War II. I can understand that. Authors can tackle one or multiple aspects of the war like women’s efforts, the Western Front, the Pacific Front, etc, and they can show them from any perspective. It’s aContinue reading “Lilac Girls Book Review”

Larry Sole isContinue reading “What Am I Reading – Chapter Ten”
Wild Women of Michigan: A History of Spunk and Tenacity Book Review
Today is International Women’s Day. What a better way to celebrate it than reviewing a book that celebrates the women who defied expectations and changed the world. Coincidentally, I have one that just happens to fall into that category, and these women lived in Michigan at some point. It’s called Wild Women of Michigan: AContinue reading “Wild Women of Michigan: A History of Spunk and Tenacity Book Review”
What Am I Reading – Chapter Eight
Hello Everybody! What a wonderful first day of March! I’m looking forward to spring, especially to travel more! Even if I’m walking around the block, it’s traveling by pandemic standards. I’ve had traveling on my mind ever since I started reading this book: Around the World in Eighty Days with Michael Palin by Michael PalinContinue reading “What Am I Reading – Chapter Eight”
The Book of Love: 50 Poems to Fall in Love Book Review
Full disclosure: I was given a free PDF copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Love is in the air, and there are many ways to express it. One way is to read poetry (no matter how corny it is), for they come from the most vulnerable and deepest emotions. Shah AsadContinue reading “The Book of Love: 50 Poems to Fall in Love Book Review”
What Am I Reading – Chapter Six
