Fly Girls: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History
by Keith O'Brien
Fly Girls is a Winner (6/15/2018)
I thought this book was so interesting about the history of women avionics. Pioneers they all were, many crashes and deaths. The most famous member of the 99ers club of course was Amelia Earhart and we all know what happened to her. Great history about these women.
The Scavenger's Daughters: Tales of the Scavenger's Daughters, Book One
by Kay Bratt
Enjoyable read (7/17/2013)
I enjoyed this story of a junk man and his wife. He saved many girl children after they were abandoned due to Mao's policy. All the children are named after flowers. There is such love in this family as they took all girls no matter their condition. I like that this is a series and look forward to reading more about this family.
The Mark Inside: A Perfect Swindle, a Cunning Revenge, and a Small History of the Big Con
by Amy Reading
The Mark Inside (6/7/2012)
The book was very hard to read. If the "con" would of been the story that might of been interesting but many distracting other stories within the story. Too much unnecessary information. I thought it was going to be a "Sting" type book but it was not.
The Sisters: A Novel
by Nancy Jensen
The Sisters (9/10/2011)
A great many issues and events are included in Nancy Jensen's The Sisters — sexual abuse, family loss and sibling betrayal, love lost, the lives of women throughout the 20th century, politics and war; even detailed pages and pages about photography and jewelry/armor-making (symbolic or not, it did not always work). The initial story of Mabel and Bertie's (and Bertie and Wallace's) separation was not convincing. There were myriad ways in which all three characters could have come back together early in the story. Overall it was an interesting read; however, the wait to find out if the two sisters would reconnect was lengthy and dissatisfying.
