• Book Review: The Bookshop of Yesterdays

  This is an amazing book!  The setting is LosAngelos, which didn’t appeal to me until the storyline developed fully.  Short quotes from classic books (of different genres starting with Shakespeare) expertly punctuated the narrative.  Cause of death and paternity was a mystery for Mira, who had been misled.  She also processed the enormity of inheriting […]

• Books Review: Seven Days in Utopia, Golf’s Sacred Journey and The Sequel

These books were brought to my attention in […]

• Book Review: Origin, A Novel by Dan Brown

  Book 5 of 5 featuring Professor Robert Langdon I have been a Dan Brown fan for years.  I was delighted to find this at a used book store.  Was there no fanfare on the release?  If there was, I missed it. The dramatic adventure set in Spain includes outstanding narrative of art, architecture, literature, history, […]
