Review: The Sound of Gravel

The Sound of Gravel The Sound of Gravel by Ruth Wariner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A memoir that, while difficult to imagine, is riveting reading. If you're feeling depressed about your life, this story is a wake-up call. I do recommend if you enjoy reality versus fiction.

Review: The Nest

The Nest The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A story I really enjoyed reading. The author kept the chapters short with an even flow of events and characters that are easy to imagine. Hard to put down and easy to read. Wouldn't be surprised to find this as a movie in a few years. Highly recommend.

Review: The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I did enjoy reading this because it was "light" in comparison to the previous couple of bookclub books. I felt a bit out-of-place at times though, as the author refers to quite a number of other books which I have not read. The underlying story though is nice, and the ending satisfactory.
