Blind Man's Bluff
Blind Man's Bluff: A Memoir
by James Tate Hill
Blind Man's Bluff (8/10/2021)
I just finished this book and cannot stop thinking about it. The author told his story with such honesty that you feel as if he is truly telling his story for the first time. His story is real, raw, funny and heartbreaking. It is a quick read and worth every word.

Beasts of a Little Land: A Novel
by Juhea Kim
Beasts of a Little Land (8/10/2021)

The Big Finish (10/10/2019)

Beirut Hellfire Society
by Rawi Hage
Beirut Hellfire Society (5/20/2019)
This was a difficult book to read. The writing is beautiful with amazing descriptions of war and life in a war torn city. However, I could not connect to any of the characters in the story. They were described well, but each person in the story seemed to hold others at bay, …more
