Last month in the Literary Escape Book Club, our destination was London. Our Book of the Month was The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin. This was probably one of our favorite books that we’ve read this year. It seemed to be enjoyed by everyone. It was made even more a favorite after our…
Thank you to The Write Reads and the BBNYA 2020 for the opportunity to read and review this book. I was fortunate to be part of the BBNYA panel team in 2020, but this was not one of the books I read during the year. So, I was happy to be able to read and…
In my quest to read more diversely this year, I came across Kwana Jackson’s books. More specifically, I came across Real Men Knit. What first appealed to me is the title. I’m a big fan of knitting and I typically enjoy books set in a knitting shop or that have something to do with knitting….

This month in my Book Lover’s Book Club, I introduced the group to a new (to me) book and author. One of our books for the month was Brownies and Broomsticks: A Magical Bakery Mystery by Bailey Cates. Each month our book club “visits” a new destination. And so, one of my main reason for…
Here’s my book review for The Day the World Came to Town by Jim DeFede. I think like most of us, I remember where I was on September 11, 2001. I was hosting playgroup at our house. About 10 one-year olds and their moms were on their way over to our house. I remember we…
