The Midnight Library by Matt Haig My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a book I thought I would like, that turned out to be probably not at all what I was expecting, but I ended up liking it even more. This book is one that has this alternate reality/Schroedinger’s cat/multi-verse theme, but with […]

The Lions of Fifth Avenue by Fiona Davis My rating: 4 of 5 stars Dual timelines between 1913 and 1993, this was a book with powerful feministic undertones and family bonds that were bruised and battered but endured generations.
