Reviewing Two Girls Down
Louisa Luna’s Two Girls Down Is one of the best suspense books I have recently read. I really enjoyed both Alice Vega and Max Caplin. They were developed, interesting characters. The surprising to me ending made the book a great read.
Reviewing Sound Asleep: the Expert Guide to Sleeping Well
Sound Asleep: the Expert Guide to Sleeping well is another of my attempts to conquer insomnia. While I had no desire to read this book, I found it in a list of books on BARD, I decided I should try to learn more about my enemy.
Reviewing Jane Corry’s Blood Sisters
Jane Corry’s Blood Sisters isn’t as popular with me as it is with many. It took me weeks to finish the book. The plot was just too slow. That being said, I’m glad I read Blood Sisters. The story wound up taking some interesting and thought-provoking turns.

Reviewing Linda Gordon’s The Second Coming of the KKK
The Second Coming of the KKK The Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s and the American Political Tradition is an especially relevant read today. If you enjoy history, aren’t afraid to be confronted by America’s racism, and follow today’s politics, you should read The Second Coming of the KKK.
Bernie Sanders’s Bill Would Hurt the Poor
