ELON MUSK. Walter Isaacson.

FICTION:

PHANTOMS. Christian Kiefer.

My new literary love "confronting the complex  legacies of World War II and Vietnam." Haunting, perceptive, magisterial. 

CANARY GIRLS. Jennifer Chiaverini.

Fabulous and fascinating historical fiction. More than ONE MILLION women, in England, during the Great War, were working in munitions factories! The yellow dust from the TNT they handled penetrated their skin so they were dubbed CANARY GIRLS! You will love these brave women!

A BEAUTIFUL RIVAL: A Novel of Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden. Gill Paul.

Cosmetic titans, their infamous decades-long rivalry, becoming two self-made millionaires! Again, fabulous and fascinating historical fiction.

FOLLOW THE SUN. Liz Locke.

Delicious Fall escape!

LAST DEVIL TO DIE. Richard Osman.

HOORAY! THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB #4!

We love THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB MYSTERIES!

 

FOR CHILDREN!

THE FLYING HORSE. Sarah Maslin Nix and Raymond White Jr.

THE JOCKEY AND HER HORSE. Sarah Maslin Nix and Raymond White Jr.
