Twain’s End by Lynn Cullen (BookReview)

Twain’s End was one of those books I picked up, put down, picked up, swore off, picked back up and couldn’t put down. My impression of Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain is forever skewed because of this novel. Its one of those situations I had to ask myself, how much of this is historical and how...

Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver #bookreview

Lauren Oliver’s Before I Fall brings back memories of the movie Groundhog’s Day plus my own horrible high school experience. When I was a kid, my dad took me to see the Bill Murray’s blockbuster hit. On our way home, he told me every student in America should have to watch that movie over...

Half the Sky; turning oppression into opportunity for women worldwide

Women should read Half the Sky. (Men should too.) I don’t normally read non-fiction. This title was on a recommended reading list of my college-aged daughter. (Her degree is International Policy.)

(The book…) In a nutshell, Ruth is a black labor and delivery nurse who has done her job well her entire (long) career. She’s also a single mom who’s raised an...

Handwriting Analysis

I’ve been studying handwriting for twenty years. Its a dying art. Reading, WRITING and Arithmetic, it’s an important cornerstone in our educational system. This is my soap box… Don’t forget to write. It’s important for brain development, communication and fine motor skills. (Watch for my weekly handwriting analysis – have someone in mind for me to review their penmanship? Leave me a comment.)

Book Reviews

When I ‘read’ a book, I’m usually listening to it on audio. Often, I’ll be busy and not able to write notes about the book right away and will write one or two words to jog my memory about the book. My reviews will usually begin with those key words, what it was that drove that novel home for me. I love reading as much as I love writing.

Blog

I write about whatever is on my mind. (The good, the bad and the ugly – I know, it’s cliche) Feel free to leave a comment, question or suggestion.
