Today's Reviews

Empire of Ivory by Noami Novik

Review: The story of Temeraire continues.  This book has a sad ending. Very riveting.  I love this series.

Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee

Review: To Kill Mockingbird has been one of my all-time favorite books for many years.  I have also read The Mockingbird Next Door, but I was deeply disappointed in Go Set a Watchman.  I think the people managing Harper Lee's life these days are exploiting an old lady.   This book should never been published.

The Seventh Mother by Sherri Wood Emmons

Review: Entertaining story of a young girl living with her single father and his various girlfriends.  The ending was predictable, but on the whole it was worth reading.

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

Review: Good story about a young woman who must accept a job working with a former playboy who had suffered a debilitating injury which had left him partially paralyzed.  They develop a bond despite very different backgrounds.  Worth the read.

A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler

Review: Like most of Anne Tyler's characters, the Whitshank family are quirky.  I enjoyed the story - sometimes amusing and sometimes sad.  The family members are very different people.  A good story.
