My Reviews

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

Book Club Recommended

Beautiful, Interesting, Brilliant

Some fans for the Night Circus

Our Book Club had mixed reviews. Some members listened to to the audible version of the book and they liked Jim Dale's reading of it (he also read the Harry Potter books). The time sequence in the book skips around which is a little confusing and the writing has long descriptive passages. The Night Circus is fanciful and takes you on an interest jouney as the "game" progresses.

365 Thank Yous: The Year a Simple Act of Daily Gratitude Changed My Life by John Kralik

Book Club Recommended

Inspiring, Optimistic, Fun

A Simple Act of Gratitude

This is a great little book - easy to read. I don't know how good it it as a book club selection but I have bought multiple copies which I find are the perfect gift for a friend who is going through a tough period of their life.

Originally published as 365 Thank Yous - now published as A Simple Act of Gratitude.
