    This is a lovely telling of a true story. Although it recounts tales of millions of Jews, Catholics and other Poles being slaughtered in Poland during WWII, nevertheless it is uplifting in its recounting the heroics tens of thousands of people who risked their lives to help people hide and/or escape. Antonina Zabinski sheltered aboug 300 peoople in the zoo (in their home, in the pheasant house and other parts of the zoo) while her husband Jan fought with the resistance and took food to people hiding in other places. In reading this book, you will get a feeling of what it was like to be in wartime Warsaw.

    A disappointing book from Sharon Draper. The characters are stereotypical. Also, I don't really care for a teen book that encourages young girls to become mothers rather than let a more mature couple adopt their child. In this book, they make the potential adopting parents selfish, and make it a keep-my-baby or SELL-my-baby situation rather than a more realistic am-I-really-mature-enough-to-raise-a-child situation. And the kids at school were either nice or totally snotty 100% of the time. . . again, very stereotypical.

Cover of The Brief and Woderous Life of Oscar Wao
Cover of A Short History of Planet Earth
  • A fascinating history of earth (geology, paleontology, climatology), yet very accessible to the non-scientist. I read it with my husband and we both enjoyed it very much.

Cover of The book thief
Cover of Snowbound
Cover of African American Women Confront the West
  • I only read parts of the book. Most of it is serious academic articles with many footnotes, although there are some more personal/narrative chapters. It is informative reading, but not engrossing.

Cover of Catching Fire
  • This is a rare sequel in that I liked it even more than the first book. It did seem to end rather abruptly, leaving me wanting more, but that just means I'll be on the lookout for the third book.

    Moore has a rather perverted sense of humor, which is what I love about his books. We have here a prehistoric sea monster who has survived to resurface in modern times, Kendra the lusty warrior woman from a series of films, and a small town whose only psychiatrist decides to take everyone off their anti-depressants. A truly bizarre story. I loved it.
