The Nazi Conspiracy
The Nazi Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill
by Brad Meltzer, Josh Mensch
The Nazi Conspiracy (12/24/2022)
I really enjoyed this book. I am not a major history fan and usually find it difficult to get through non-fiction books, but this book is the exception to the rule. It reads like a novel...short exciting chapters and simultaneous timelines.
I wanted to read this book because …more

Widowland: Widowland #1
by C. J. Carey
Widowland (5/7/2022)

Honor (9/21/2021)
I loved this book from from the first page, but it took my breath away. It is not an easy book to read. It is depressing, emotionally draining and unfortunately too descriptive in many places. This book is not for everyone. If you want a book that is difficult to read on an …more

Mrs. March
Mrs. March: A Novel
by Virginia Feito
Mrs. March review (5/8/2021)
When I read that this story takes place in New York City, I was very excited since I lived there many years ago. When I saw that Elisabeth Moss will be starring as Mrs. March in a soon to be motion picture, I couldn't wait to read this book. What a disappointment!! I found …more
