Historia
Lily—a bored, beautiful twenty-something—wakes up on a remote desert compound, alongside nineteen other contestants competing on a massively popular reality show. To win, she must outlast her housemates to stay in the Compound the longest, while competing in challenges for luxury rewards like champagne and lipstick, plus communal necessities to outfit their new home, like food, appliances, and a front door. Cameras are catching all her angles, good and bad, but Lily has no desire to leave: why would she, when the world outside is falling apart?

Selling your Soul for Stupid Stuff
Revisado: 07-09-25
I really enjoyed this book, it epitomizes the worst of modern society. Greed, materialism, sexual objectification, fantasists, and shallowness juxtaposed with humans' primal instincts. The characters were interesting, as was the storyline. The writing and pacing were good, as well. In addition, the narration was perfect.

Revisado: 07-04-25
Classic Joyce Carol Oates. Well-written, this is the story of a pedophile who leaves wreckage in his wake. Additionally, it's a story about privilege. The writing is raw and graphic, taking you inside the predator's world. As with all of Ms. Oates' books, the characters are well developed and the story gripping.

I've read all of Ms. Lippman's books and she is one of my favorite authors. This one disappoints, sadly. It's not a bad book but it was too cutesy for me. Mrs. Blossom was too much of a stereotype. Maybe it gets better but I couldn't stay with it. I prefer books like Prom Mom, Lady in the Lake, After I'm Gone, etc.

Historia
Harvard, 1996. Anna is about to graduate when she falls hard for Christoph, a visiting German student. Captivated by his beauty and intelligence, she follows him to Germany, where charming squares and grand facades belie the nation’s recent history and the war’s destruction. Christoph condemns his country’s actions but remains cryptic about the part his own grandfather played. Anna, meanwhile, cannot forget the photos taken by her American GI grandfather at the end of the war, preserved in a scrapbook only she has seen.

What Remains
Revisado: 06-30-25
My dad was a WW2 vet so I'm always looking for good stories that have ties to that era. Inspired by her grandfather's scrapbook, the author wove dual stories -- decades apart -- about the impact of WW2 on different generations. Well written, the book was nicely paced and held my interest. Some won't like the ending but I thought it was perfect.

When Jackie is twenty-one, she meets the charismatic congressman Jack Kennedy at a dinner party in Georgetown. She is dreaming of France, of a life of freedom and adventure. She has won an internship at Vogue, and she thinks Kennedy is not her kind of adventure: “Too American. Too good-looking. Too boy.” And yet there is his intelligence, his humor and drive, and the chemistry between them. He pursues her, then disappears, then pursues her again in a pattern of intimacy and distance.

Maureen Dowd's Fault
Revisado: 06-30-25
Perhaps my expectations were unfairly high, but I thought this was going to be a good book since Maureen Dowd discussed the novel with the author at a local book store. It's not a bad book, by any means, but it fell short of what I had anticipated. I got about halfway through and then bailed. Maybe if I didn't have better books in my queue, I would have stuck with it.

Pretty Good
Revisado: 06-30-25
I enjoyed this book, for the most part, and finished it. Was it a realistic premise? No, but since it's fiction, that's all right. The writing was solid, not literature, but the author did a good job. The pacing was fine, as well.

Kitschy Koo
Revisado: 06-30-25
The premise is good but the execution was too kitschy. Every once in a while, I like what I consider an escape book. However, this one was populated with annoying, and not in a good way, characters. I felt like my IQ was dropping when I listened to it. In sum, it simply was not my cup of tea.
.
Others will likely enjoy it, which is terrific.

Historia
This deliciously sharp novel captures the relentless ambitions and fears that animate parents and their children in modern America, exploring the conflicts between achievement and potential, talent and privilege. Set in the fictional town of Crystal, Colorado, The Gifted School is a keenly entertaining novel that observes the drama within a community of friends and parents as good intentions and high ambitions collide in a pile-up with long-held secrets and lies.

Simple Gifts
Revisado: 06-16-25
I really enjoyed this book about interconnected families and their campaigns to get their "exceptional" children into a public school for gifted kids. The characters were interesting, for the most part, and flawed. The writing was good and the author is great at telling a story. My one disappointment was that, for the most part, none of them really paid for their misdeeds. I know, that seems mean but in a society where the overprivileged/rich seem to get away with anything, it would have been good to see the "Q" and "Z" families get some karma.

When, in 2023, Erica was diagnosed with dementia just as Molly’s husband discovered he had a rare cancer, Jong-Fast was catapulted into a transformative year.

Wonderful
Revisado: 06-11-25
MJF is a national treasure on many levels, and this well-written memoir puts on beautiful display her strength, dignity, sense of humor, resilience, and intelligence. Her willingness to share her story is a gift to all who faced similar struggles, regardless of socio-economic status. Additionally, she freely discusses her own flaws and humanity. MJF is a survivor and a role model for those of us who bear the scars of parental neglect.
MJF’s narration is superb. The listener will feel like MJF is in the room, telling her story. It’s an intimate experience.

Historia
Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine, and Mary-Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. What they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888. The person responsible was never identified, but the character created by the press to fill that gap has become far more famous than any of these five women. For more than a century, newspapers have been keen to tell us that "the Ripper" preyed on prostitutes. Not only is this untrue, as historian Hallie Rubenhold has discovered, but it has prevented the real stories of these fascinating women from being told.

Well written and interesting, this book transports you back in time. The author showed the humanity of the victims, rather than focusing on the killer. This book was more a study of the conditions women and the poor faced during that time.
