I don’t say this lightly, EVERYONE should read Bill Gates’ new book: HOW TO AVOID A CLIMATE CRISIS: The solutions we have and the BREAKTHROUGHS WE NEED. I think in our heart of hearts all of us want to preserve the earth from any catastrophe. Even if you say you don’t believe in global warmingContinue reading “A BOOK EVERYONE SHOULD READ!”

While reading my latest book, NO ONE IS TOO SMALL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE by Greta Thunberg, I wondered what effects worldwide shutdowns for a year might have made on the environment. Surely, working at home, less travel, and less consumerism must have made a dent in pollution rates. Greta, a fifteen-year-old Swedish student wasContinue reading “Did the Pandemic Help Save the Climate Crisis?”

On my last blog I was all hepped-up on Curtis Sittenfeld as my favorite author. She had written 2 books I truly loved-“Rodham” and “American Wife”. I said I was going to read more of her stuff, so I read “Prep” #112 and “Eligible” #113 on my Book List. I was really disappointed and sadlyContinue reading “Is It Okay if I Change My Mind?”

I have a tendency to discard books that don’t suit me. That is the beauty of getting all these books free from the Library App “Libby”. Therefore, I pretty well know I will be reading books I like, and therefore, most of my choices are rated 4 and 5 Stars in my Book List. UsuallyContinue reading “My Favorite Author: Curtis Sittenfeld”

101. THE BOOK OF LOST NAMES by Kristin Harmel (1/5/21) Eva, a librarian, sees a picture and article in a magazine of a book she wrote and hasn’t seen for 65 years, since the time she was part of the underground helping to smuggle Jewish Families to safety during World War II. This is oneContinue reading “WWII HISTORICAL FICTION GETS BETTER AND BETTER!”

100. THE HUNTRESS by Kate Quinn (1/1/21) I wanted my 100th book to be special. Little did I know it would also be finished on the first day of the new year, 2021. I saw that this book, The Huntress, was written by the author of The Alice Network, a book I loved, so thisContinue reading “MY 100th BOOK!! Happy New Year!”

27. RODHAM by Curtus Sittenfel Yes, that is a picture of Hillary Rodham Clinton, and it says, “A Novel”. It is hard to say how to approach a fictional book of a living former first lady since much follows history and could be true. Sittenfeld gets away with this by-and I am guessing here-by followingContinue reading “Some Fun Clinton Stuff!”

5. THE DUTCH HOUSE by Ann Patchett (4/28/20) When I saw that Tom Hanks was the narrator/performer of this audiobook, I was even more excited to read it. The narrator can make a big difference in the book and really bring it to life. The story is a little Cinderella-ish in that it involves aContinue reading “Recommending: THE DUTCH HOUSE”

Book # 1 ***** BECOMING by Michelle Obama (4/16/20) I was excited that Michelle was performing (industry term) her own book. That made it come to life for me. In this book we see her as a child living with her family in their predominantly black middle-class Chicago neighborhood. Her father was working class, herContinue reading “BECOMING by Michelle Obama”
