Number the Stars by Lois Lowry Stands the Test of Time
Number the Stars by Lois Lowry stands the test of time. Readers may think I have lived under a rock, but I wasn’t well-acquainted with Lois Lowry’s works until I attended a presentation she gave recently in Phoenix.

| I read this immediately after reading The Miniaturist. (I didn't even know there was a TV show based on the first book.) It continues the story 18 years later with Thea, who was born at the end of The Miniaturist. While this book could stand alone, I ...more | |

| I found myself smiling as I read most of this. The author has a certain dry wit and keen observation skills for both people and places. The story is set in Phoenix and Tempe, Arizona, where I live, so I recognized a lot of the places he references. S ...more | |

| The Music of Bees is feel-good contemporary fiction. Set against the backdrop of a beekeeper, and the written handbook of keeping bees, three unlikely loners find a sense of family together. The book reminded me of Where the Crawdads Sing. Both autho ...more | |

| Rocket Men is an amazing work of nonfiction. The author works in tons of details and statistics yet wrote a compelling work that kept me turning the pages (or rather listening to the audiobook.) He has great prose and descriptions, and the narrator o ...more | |

| This book is going to stay with me for a long time. It was a two-day read of a 14-hour audiobook. This memoir by one of Jeffrey Epstein's most well-known victims is a view into a depraved world where a billionaire and his accomplices preyed on young ...more | |

| The Moonshine Women is feel-good historical fiction that takes place in the 1930s during Prohibition - just as the title infers. Its focus is on female relationships, exploring the definition of family, and how to survive during difficult times. The ...more | |
