Why did I read this book? It was a book club pick. What did I think of this book? I really enjoyed it. It’s a dense book so don’t expect it to be full of fluff.

You know what today is, right? It’s the official release day for C is for Chimera. I received an electronic ARC for review but haven’t read it yet.

Jewish Book Month – November 6th to December 6th

Will… Continue reading Jewish Book Month – November 6th to December 6th

Bite Size Book Reviews
New this year is the Bite Size Book Review. Much smaller than my normal review it answers the three basic questions: Why did I read it? What did I think of it? Who should read it? I’m hoping it will help me knock out a bunch of reviews between now and the end of the year.… Continue reading Bite Size Book Reviews
