The Devil in Jerusalem
The Devil in Jerusalem
by Naomi Ragen
Quick Read (6/26/2015)
I can't believe this book was over 300 pages! I read it so quickly - it was probably the most compelling book I have read. Naomi Ragen kept the story alive by switching time periods from the present to the past. Since I am not Jewish, I had some difficulty with some of the …more
The Rabbit Back Literature Society
The Rabbit Back Literature Society
by Pasi Ilmari Jaaskelainen
PLEASANT SURPRISE! (11/22/2014)
I usually don't like Fantasies or Mysteries - and this book was a little of both. However, I do like books and libraries and that's what I liked about The Rabbit Back Literature Society. In some ways it was very whimsical and at other times it was very tender. The mystery …more

Her
by Harriet Lane
A Bit Confusing (5/24/2014)

With or Without You: A Memoir
by Domenica Ruta
A Mature View (12/5/2012)
The description of With or Without You compared the book to another memoir, Glass Castle. I was hesitant to read Domenica Ruta's memoir because I had found Glass Castle to be very negative and dark. However, Miss Ruta was able to bring humor and compassion to her …more
Have Mother, Will Travel
Have Mother, Will Travel: A Mother and Daughter Discover Themselves, Each Other, and the World
by Claire & Mia Fontaine
DELIGHTFUL! (6/10/2012)
I choose this book because I have two grown daughters and I do love to travel. However, I never expected it to have such wisdom. Claire and Mia learn so much about themselves and each other that it was very inspiring.
