Book Review: Taming the Street by Diana B. Henriques
Since I was a kid, I’ve always had an interest in the Great Depression (thanks American Girl!). Over the years I’ve collected bits and pieces of it through different media and my own research. Aside from other books about Franklin Delano Roosevelt which speak a lot about the Great Depression, I haven’t read any books…

Book Review: Good Bad Girl by Alice Feeney
I look forward to Alice Feeney’s books every year. After being blown away by Daisy Darker last year, I’ve spent most of 2023 counting the months until I could read Good Bad Girl. Though the book overall had a much different tone than what I’ve become accustomed to with this author, I still loved it…

Book Review: Unpredictable Winds by Thomas T. Chin
The historical events of this book are not a location of history I know much about. I’ve only caught glimpses in another book or two. I was very excited for the opportunity to delve deeper into this time and place…

Book Review: Fortunes of War by Gordon Zuckerman
I’ve read a few espionage novels and though it’s not my go-to genre, the descriptions always seem to draw me in. Fortunes of War stood out in particular in this instance as I’m always looking for a new perspective on the times surrounding World War II…

Book Review: Murder at the Midnight Ball by Jessica Baker
It’s always a good day when Jessica Baker releases a new book! I’m super excited about this new series set in Lady Thea’s universe…

Book Review: For Better and Worse by E.B. Roshan
This is the third book I’m reading by E.B. Roshan and it was a treat as always. For Better and Worse is the fourth book in the Sevia series but it could potentially be read as a standalone. I’ve read the first book in the series and this book is the continuation…
