The Discovery of Jeanne Baret
The Discovery of Jeanne Baret: A Story of Science, the High Seas, and the First Woman to Circumnavigate the Globe
by Glynis Ridley
Lost at Sea with Jeanne Baret (12/30/2010)
The very BEST parts of this novel were Chapters 8 and 9; these chapters absolutely told the story I thought I was reading - the story of Jeanne Baret...a good read. Ridley held my interest with those two chapters; however, the other chapters, although well researched and …more
Ever By My Side
Ever By My Side: A Memoir in Eight Acts Pets
by Dr. Nick Trout
A Doggone GREAT book (12/28/2010)
Just when I thought no one knew the secrets I shared with my two labs, Trout's novel exposes the universal truth about all dogs and dog lovers - all
you REALLY need to know about unconditional love can be found in Ever By My Side. I "double dog dare" any reader to stop after page one...
The Paris Wife
The Paris Wife: A Novel
by Paula McLain
Ooh La La - A Paris Wife! (12/7/2010)
What a kismet - a chance to review a novel about one of my favorite authors! Having read nearly every available Hemingway biography, I found I absolutely could not put down The Paris Wife. McLain's approach - written from Hadley's point of

What is Left...Amazing (8/29/2010)
Sometimes in life you discover a book so amazing that you find you carry it with you weeks after you have finished its last word...such is What is Left the Daughter. Alabama Booksmith sent this novel to me as a part of its signed first edition program, and what a kismet! A …more
The Ghost of Milagro Creek
The Ghost of Milagro Creek
by Melanie Sumner
A Beautiful Tapestry (7/6/2010)
Like a beautiful Indian tapestry, Melanie Sumner, gently weaves the tale of Ignacia, her turbulent sons, their families, and those searching for hope and redemption in Taos, New Mexico, with golden threads of Indian lore to create a shockingly realistic novel that is …more
Anthill
Anthill: A Novel
by Edward O. Wilson
Anthill (5/20/2010)
This coming of age tale grabs you from page one and will not turn you loose until the last page. Not only will the reader find himself mesmerized by the activity of the ants, but it's message acts as a cautionary tale for today's reader. A short story is defined as that …more
