My favorite by Amy Anguish so far! This adaptation of the Cinderella tale is inspiring and hopeful. It was fun to see how Anguish fit all the pieces together to create a fresh retelling.

Very informative, interesting read! Krull gives the reader interesting tidbits of information about one of our greatest president's wonderful sense of humor. We did not prefer the illustration style, but the content more than made up for that.

Great novel

A Study in Crimson: Sherlock Holmes 1942
by Robert J Harris

book cover


While overall an entertaining read, I think it read more like a screenplay than a novel. Reading the notes at the end of the book made this notion clearer as the inspiration was in fact a couple of Sherlock Holmes movies set in the 1940s. I think this can work out to an advantage in some cases, but in this book, it resulted in an overemphasis on the setting and atmosphere at the expense of getting to understand any of the characters in depth. Perhaps the author is hoping to piggyback on the plethora of development that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and no shortage of screenwriters have attempted to forge, but in my opinion this book falls flat on its own basis.

The Fair Weather Friend

book cover


This is a fun summer read... for most of the book. Garcia is a pro at crafting, devious female characters that the reader loves to hate. In this mystery, we are introduced to Faith, a weather girl, with a devoted fan club worthy of a rock star. From the outside and too her fans, Faith is the perfect celebrity. To her coworkers she is a loathsome diva. Slowly, the reader unearths her true personality. What I enjoyed most was the glimpses into newsroom dynamics which from the outside appear so glamorous but for those working in the industry can be quite a grind. This is a genuinely enjoyable, easy summer read, perfect for curling up on a veranda and sipping a cool lemonade. I did not fully enjoy the ending or some of the characters decisions, but it was still a worthwhile ride.
