Shane Abe tells a historically accurate story of rags to riches in the book AN AMERICAN BEAUTY. As with her other books of historical fiction she follows a little know woman as she weaves her life through history. In this case, the main character Arabella Yarrington goes from poverty in post civil war Virginia to the height of New York society in the Gilded Age. From Bella's teenage years working in an illegal gambling parlor to her time as mistress and then wife to C.P. Huntington, a railroad tycoon, you get caught up in the excitement and worry that surrounds her. The real life characters actually come to life and you can almost see the things the author discribes. I enjoyed the time I spent with thus books and the people in it ...

It's Not Her
by Mary Kubica

book cover


This book was terrible. I couldn’t stand to read one of the two narrators for almost the entire book. The story relies on the “Idiot Plot”. Meaning this story only works because all of the characters involved are morons. The level of paranoia and stupid decisions are too ridiculous even for fiction. The perpetrator doesn’t even make sense, since their motivation isn’t even legitimate since parts of the story made the justifications impossible. Avoid this book.

Serious who done it that is more than a who done it. Not only about the mystery but seriously explores the personality and growth of the main character. The environment is a character. The novel actually explores, the impact of looking beneath the surface and how history impacts our lives. I liked it. Especially the main character Ruth

Norse Mythology
by Neil Gaiman

book cover


Neil Gaiman tells the tales of the Gods using the great Norse myths. His stories tell of beginning of the nine worlds all the way to the end of the Gods in Ragnarok. These are tales of Odin, the highest God, and of Thor, the trickster Loki, and many others. I really enjoyed this one.
