by Priscilla Gilman

Truly Amazing (1/6/2023)

I truly wasn't prepared to read this book. I thought it was just going to be about her dad's work and that was it. But boy was I wrong. This book was amazing and so well written. I love the relationship that she has with her dad, but then I start to see that she can't truly …more

The Fields: A Novel

Page Turner (10/20/2021)

I have to say that this book was truly a page turner. I enjoyed all the twist and turns that this book has to offer. Just when you think that you have solved who did it. There is more that happens. I sure hope that she comes out with a part two of this book. I would love to …more

Vox
by Christina Dalcher

VOX (5/14/2018)

This book was a hard read for me because I'm not really into the women's movement. I would recommend this book to book clubs, but not young people. I feel like people who are about women's rights and women empowerment this would make a great book selection for them. I haven' …more

Meet Me at the Museum

Meet Me at the Museum (4/4/2018)

I had the privilege to read Meet me at the Museum. I really did enjoy this book. At first when I started reading it, I must admit I was a little bored with it. I didn't really understand where the writer was going with this story, but as I continued to read it I grew to …more
