The Romanov Sisters: The Lost Lives of the Daughters of Nicholas and Alexandra by Helen Rappaport My rating: 4 of 5 stars Quick read. Informative. Learned a lot! I picked it up to see what their story was all about. And I was surprised at the amount of impact wasContinue Reading
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman My rating: 3 of 5 stars I enjoyed the premise and theme of the book. Pullman created well thought out and memorable characters. It was a little too technical for me in regard to the depths of fantasy, i.e. I had to go backContinue Reading
Lemon Meringue Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke My rating: 3 of 5 stars The cozy continues… I can’t get enough of these type of books. They transport me out of regular life and drop me in the reality I sometimes want to be my own. But I can also escapeContinue Reading
