Zetas Till We Die
by Amber and Danielle Brown
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A story of sorority sisters in life after college and how the past catches up to you. Although reference to sorority life, it does not feel authentic. The words sisters & sisterhood was repetitive and really had no impact on the storyline or feel of the book. It was a predictable murder mystery with bland characters.
Mexican Gothic
by Mexican Gothic Silvia Moreno-garcia
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Mexican Gothic checks all the boxes of a good, crafty and very Mexican Gothic novel, it has enough of an evil and mysterious character(s), a peculiar hero, and a Victorian house that has a lot of secrets. This young author has a lot of talent, I might have asked a bit more from her editor as some chapters at the end are very heavy, but for the most part Silvia does an excellent job with the plot. I really appreciated and enjoyed all the references to the Mexican culture, it was a treat to have them incorporated in the story.

This historical fiction book bridges women who were a part of The Alice Network during both World Wars. I cried, laughed, and cheered throughout this book and I highly recommend it if you enjoy historical fiction from this era from the unique perspectives of women who bravely served behind enemy lines.

Gertrude Bell, Queenof the Dessert Shaper of Nations

book cover


Great Biography! I'd not heard of Miss Bell so seeing the cover photo of her astride a camel taken in front of the Spinx and pyramids of Egypt caught my eye. The author, a former journalist, gives us a well reserached, interesting book that reads somewhat like a novel to me. I came away better understanding the Middle East and It's amazing the relevancy to current events going on in that regoin today. And, the maps in the beginning show where and when she made her various journies.
The Cigar Factory
by Michele Moore
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Again I've chosen a historical novel from the Book Nook. I've a facination with Charleston, SC, but have never been there. I have a connection to the south through my Mom's NC birth, her ancestors having immigrated to the U.S. through the port of Charleston, and my having lived in VA for 7 years. This is a great story of survival of both black and white people and gives insight to the 19th century Southern culture. I knew nothing about the manufacture of cigars until reading this book. The building where the factory was located has been rehabbed and today houses a number of businesses. I've come to understand that Charleston is big on historic Preservation.
