Under the Wide and Starry Sky
Under the Wide and Starry Sky
by Nancy Horan
Under the wide and starry sky (12/14/2013)
I was a huge fan of the author's first book, Loving Frank. Is this book as good? No,and here is the reason why: the lives of Robert Louis Stevenson and his wife Fanny, although interesting were certainly not as dramatic as the lives of Frank Lloyd Wright and his partner, …more

Songs of Willow Frost
by Jamie Ford
songs of willow frost (8/11/2013)
I really wanted to like this book, as I loved the author's first book, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. However, I had a hard time getting into and finishing the book. Ford obviously did his research on Seattle in the 20's and 30's, but I felt all the details bogged …more

A Tale of Two Copies (4/5/2013)

Sacre Bleu: A Comedy d'Art
by Christopher Moore
a good read (3/13/2012)
I chose this book because I love the Impressionists, find this period of time fascinating and am always interested in learning more about both. And this book does not disappoint. Although clearly the author did a great amount of research, it is a fictional and irreverent …more
