The Royal Correspondent by Alexandra Joel ~ an Audiobook Review

by Donna Huber

Earlier this summer I watched the short-lived Amazon series Good Girls Revolt based on the book by the same name by Lynn Povich. It's about women working at Newsweek in the 1960s. The series ended just as it was getting good and it left me wanting to know more. So I was excited to see The Royal Correspondent by Alexandra Joel.

The Takeaway Men by Meryl Ain ~ an Audiobook Review

by Donna Huber

I'm often disappointed when reading WWII and the story ends with the liberation of the camp or VE-Day because I always want to know what happened to the characters. I wanted to know how did they go on with life when everything and often everyone was gone? The Takeaway Men starts are the end of the war and follows a Jewish family as they immigrate to American and begin a new life.

Last of the Summer Reading

by Donna Huber

International Cat Day was on August 8 and since I have a bunch of literary kitties, I thought I would show them off again. I was just able to catch the kitty at the top right corner laying with the stack of books recently.
