Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us
by Anna Malaika Tubbs
Much food for thought (5/4/2025)
This book is an ARC from Bookbrowse.
Wow! Dr. Tubbs gave me much to think about. Her writing is very organized, and she presents how those who are NOT white men have been erased in history. Her book could not be coming out at a better time. Women are stronger than ever.more
The Original Daughter: A Novel
by Jemimah Wei
Love Can Save or Break US (3/20/2025)
I received Jemimah Wei's "The Original Daughter" as an Advanced Reading Copy through BookBrowse. The story centers around a Chinese-Singaporean family, but in many ways, it could have been written about any family where there is love, jealousy, and loyalty.

I took my timemore
The Dream Hotel: A Novel
by Laila Lalami
Is this OUR future? (1/2/2025)
I received this book through Book Browse as an Advance Reading Copy.

I have been feeling lately that books and movies just are not original anymore until I read Laila Lalami's "The Dream Hotel". This book was so frighteningly real, even though it's set in a futuristicmore
Everything We Never Knew: A Novel
by Julianne Hough
Major changes just don't happen overnight (7/16/2024)
"Everything We Never Knew" by Julianne Hough and Ellen Goodlett begins with a "what the heck" moment, and Lexi Cole's life is set on the path to never being the same again. While I accept the premise of Lexi's Saturn return for how this book moves on, it just feels forcedmore
The Very Long, Very Strange Life of Isaac Dahl
by Bart Yates
A long, SAD life (5/5/2024)
While the premise for Bart Yates' "The Very Long, Very Strange Life of Isaac Dahl" was different, I found it to be more disappointing than strange. I would just get into the people who comprised that day, then that day was over. Then it's 8 years later. There was a lot ofmore
The Flower Sisters
by Michelle Collins Anderson
Anderson weaves beautifully-crafted historical novel (2/20/2024)
Michelle Collins Anderson, author of The Flower Sisters, has woven a rich tapestry by letting the characters tell the story of the worst day that ever happened to the little town of Possum Flats, MO. Each segment of the book is told by a different narrator with a different "more
The Hundredth Man
by Jack Kerley
Great weekend read (2/12/2024)
This book was recommended by BookBrowse as a book I might like. The bad news is: why in the world haven't I read this before now? The good news? It's the first in a series!

Wow! This book is wonderful! It is rather reminiscent of old detective noir books. I could almostmore
