Wonderful read for women in midlife years
I read Patricia Volk's memoir, Stuffed, several years ago and remember thinking that she described people so well that I felt I had really seen or met them. She has used same ability to bring characters to life in this recent novel. The book begins in a rather confusing way. Two women who don't know each other are requested to be at a lawyer's office to receive the key to a safety deposit box ...

A cute, high school harem manga

When he opens the box, Maki, a powerful but naive devil jumps out of the box. Her goal is to take his soul, in exchange for granting three wishes. Keita's father accepts her as a house guest immediately, and ...

delightful
I am glad I discoverd the Dearest Dorothy books. I am quite a fan of Jan Karon's Mitford books and Ann B. Ross's Miss Julia books, and these are in the same vein. They are not as long and the other two author's works, but are delightful on their own. They are just so much fun to read and have wonderful spiritual insights. I have read three of them and have the other two in my 'to read' ...

What a delight !
Having read each and every book in the series, I had a pretty good idea what to expect -- enjoyable, pleasant and worth the time. What I got was a surprise; it was terrific !!! While the book continues to have the small-town flavor which makes the series so appealing, it added new characters and twists to the plot that made it a bit more "current" and fast-paced. The characters are ...

What Fun!!
This was so much fun, it almost makes up for no Amelia Peabody book (written by Elizabeth Peters) this year. I got to visit Luxor again. I enjoy all of Joan Hess's books and was so excited to finally get this one that I just opened it and started reading. By the time I was on page 50 it felt so familiar that I had to stop and investigate. I turned back to the front of the book and found that ...

A Fantastic Collection of Literary Love Letters
Once I opened this book of F. Scott and Zelda's love letters, I was glued to it, and didn't put it down until I had read the entire book 6 hours later. This is an engrossing collection of passionate letters between two of America's most famous Jazz Age babies, full of innocence, spurned hope, desperate longing, and a never-ending belief that one day, somehow, they would end up together again. ...

This is a book by a woman about a woman.
So I was disinclined to read it for a long time. I thought it would be a book of interest for only women. I was completely wrong. I won this book at a book fair years ago. It is not one I would have puchased on my own. I picked it up soon found myself reading it avidly. It is Abigail Adams' complete life story. A faithful, constant, patriotic wife for the cranky but brillant John Adams. Every bit ...

My Dearest Holmes is a great mystery and a relationship
I really enjoyed this book, you get to see a little more into Watson's personality and his relationship w/Holmes, which in this book is a male/male relationship... From back of book: The accounts of these cases are too bound up with events in my personal life which, although they may provide a plausible commentary to much of my dealings with Mr. Sherlock Holmes, can never be made public ...

True or not
Their is a lot of controversy around this book. Honestly after reading this book, I felt that it was true, but now I watched the movie, I felt that I don't think so anymore. I believe that Christina was angry that she was disinheired and she wanted to get the last word. This book was very well written with alot of good stories. If those stories are true.
