Review: A Class Entwined (A Matter of Class, #2) by Susie Murphy
I read the first book in this series about a year ago and thought that it was a decent start to a new series. I mentioned in my first review, that I haven’t read a lot of works published by smaller publishing companies or indie publishers in recent years. But I don’t mind reading them when I can because I like being able to offer not only constructive criticism, but I also enjoy reading books like this that fly under the radar. When this second book in the series came up for review, the author asked if I would like to review it and I was happy to agree so…

Review: The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff
Pam Jenoff has been a long standing favorite author of mine. I read one of her earlier novels, The Last Summer at Chelsea Beach, and was completely sold on her writing. Since then I have read more of her books and absolutely love how she crafts a tale. When this book came up for review, it was an instant yes without any hesitation. I am absolutely in love with the cover and she is such a strong writer in the WWII period that I had zero reservations about this one. Had I never read any of her books or even heard of her, that cover alone would sell me on this…

Review: The Girls in the Picture by Melanie Benjamin
I am going to be horribly superficial for a minute. The first thing that caught my eye with this book was the cover. I am a sucker for a beautiful cover and this book has exactly that. I didn’t even read what the book was about, all I knew was that it had a stunning cover that clearly said ‘historical fiction’ and so I made a snap decision and said yes to reviewing it. This book is written by Melanie Benjamin, who has written other best selling novels such as, The Aviator’s Wife and The Swans of Fifth Avenue. Knowing that she was an experienced writer only strengthened my excitement…

Special Feature: THE SECRET LIFE OF MRS. LONDON
In 2018, I reviewed THE SECRET LIFE OF MRS LONDON and was so impressed by the writing and content. I didn’t really know anything about Jack London besides the fact that he wrote THE CALL OF THE WILD and WHITE FANG. I knew even less about Houdini. I was intrigued by how this book was actually going to come together because a literary giant and a magician in the midst of a love triangle seems totally weird and random but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction and even though this book was a novelization and historical fiction, there was plenty of historical facts to keep historians interested. Today is Jack London’s…

Review: Among the Red Stars by Gwen C. Katz
For some reason, this year I have heard about a couple of books that came out or are coming out, about the Night Witches of WWII. I hadn’t read any of the books but I was interested in the subject matter and historical take on these brave women. I wanted to pick up one of the, what I like to call, Night Witches books but I just didn’t think of it when I was at the bookstore or my library. Then one day in late November I got an email pitching this book featuring the Night Witches that was more of a YA book and I practically pounced on the…
