Secrets – and plenty of them!
Author: Susan
She was too short for me, and it is undeniable that when Dorothy and I hugged, all the wrong parts of us met.
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin My rating: 4 of 5 stars Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow was, in essence, “Art Imitating (Gaming) Life.” I began to suspect early on that the author was creating an artificial world in this story that mimicked Sadie and Sam’s respective “realities.” For me, each of the […]
Tarot in Love: Consulting the Cards in Matters of the Heart by Elliot Adam My rating: 5 of 5 stars The wise counsel in this well-written guidebook does exactly what I’m looking for when I do a tarot reading for myself: it invariably brings order to my frazzled mind.

Redhead by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler My rating: 4 of 5 stars Micah Mortimer is set in his ways. His siblings and extended family tease him good-naturedly about his unvarying routine.

The word “switcheroo” popped into my head, more than once, when I finished listening to the Audiobook ARC of The Villa by Rachel Hawkins – ably narrated by Julia Whelan, Kimberly M. Wetherell and Shiromi Arserio. I did a few double-takes during the […]
Fantastical, tragic… horrifying.
Outstandingly incredible writing! Quirky in the very best way! Unputdownable! I absolutely loved this sometimes hilarious, often tragic story! Lessons in Chemistry portrays almost every woman’s plight on this earth – rolled into the harrowing life experiences of one indomitable female scientist: you could not keep Elizabeth Zott down! I would line up to buy […]
This has to be one of the best guidebooks on the Tarot that I have ever read – and I’ve read quite a few over the years.
