All Our Worldly Goods review

This was a moving story about love and courage which repeats down the generations. It was also about tradition and change and how holding on too tight often leads to loss.

Lullabye review

This was a good book about revenge, grief, and moving on. I liked the relationship between Wyatt and his daughter Bronwyn.

Native Tongue review

I enjoyed this off-beat book about crooked developers, bungling crooks, and amusement parks. I especially liked the way Kingsbury tried to outdo Disney World.

Household Gods review

I liked this book about a modern woman finding herself in a different time, but not because of the time travel. Rather, I liked the way Nicole has to confront her assumptions and how she finds the strength she needs in herself.

Sphere review

This was a very good thriller with many twists and turns. I like the way it was hard to distinguish what's real and what's not.

The Wednesday Letters review

This was a great book about family and discovery. So much is discovered that I had to remind myself that it takes place over just a few days.

Green Hills Of Earth review

I enjoyed these short stories about the Earth and the Moon. Two of my favorites were "'It's Great to Be Back'" about a couple who learns where their home is, and "--We Also Walk Dogs" about a new kind of concierge company.

Pig Island review

This was a very good thriller with lots of twists and turns. I liked the ways the characters interacted and I definitely did not expect the ending.

The Girl in the Glass: A Novel review

This was a good book about staged seances, immigration, Prohibition and life of grifters trying to make a living among the rich. I liked Diego's relationships with Schell, Antony, and Isabel.

The Monster of Florence review

This was a very good book about an elusive serial killer and about how a fixation on a particular theory and the importance of saving face can have serious consequences.
