Ennara and the Book of Shadows by Angela Shelley (Book Review #35)
We return to the story of Ennara a year later in the second book written by Angela Myron. Ennara is now away from home and is studying at the Academy of Magic. However, things are not looking good. Ennara feels disconnected from her professors. Her ear burns at times and people treat her with a cold indifference. It seems like no one wants her to learn anything that will benefit her. Read More
Pearl, MD by Marie Bartlett (Book Review #29)
This book revolves around the time where a woman was not welcome to have a profession other than being a housemaid. Men were dominating and made decisions for them, and if one decided to beat the social norm, such as Pearl, they choose to make her life unbearable, in hopes to push her into just giving up. Even women were jealous of Pearl’s success for doing something different.
Pearl is a physician in the nineteenth-century society. It is at the time and age where women doctors are not taken seriously, and African Americans are not treated with the same right as others. Treating them as a patient is unacceptable and hiring them as an assistant is profound upon and bad for business. Read More

“I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.”
Eric Hansen educates you on this journey of discovery with everything that has to do with Christmas. This book is really like a biography for Christmas, how Santa works and where the toys are all made from? What cultural differences are there? How many departments does Santa have? And any possible question, slightly tempting your mind regarding this yearly celebration is explained in detail in this book.

It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s SUPER-reader! by Rod, A. Walters
It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s SUPER-reader!
[from “Captain [OF] America,” t.b. published summer 2018, Rod A. Walters]
A recent book reviewer* posted her own short essay about how she managed her business by reviewing a book a day. You did hear that right, one every day. She told me that she goes by the “rule” that a book shouldn’t take her longer than five hours to read. I had never thought about it that way! Simple: look at the book’s last page #, then divide by five. That tells me how many pages to get through each hour, more or less. I have heard that the average American reads between 200-250 words per minute. Read More
