A Treacherous Curse by Deanna Raybourn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A totally engaging story. We learn more about Veronica and her sidekick in this third episode. The swtory is somewhat compact and the character list pleasantly small. I had a bit of trouble at first understanding what was happening but I later realized that that confusion was probably part of the plot. I love the characters and the writing style.

The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a book club selection. I started it thinking I would hate it but good writing and an interesting story won me over. It is a story of growth and change growing out of a somewat odd, maybe tragic, childhood. Although the main character had a remarkable ability to look at herself, something most of us seldom do.
Can't wait for the discussion at my book club, they often convince me that I loved a book I thought I didn't.

The Golem of Brooklyn by Adam Mansbach
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Satire? Comedy? Frightening depiction of the real world? All these and more. I could not put it down because I was never sure where it was going. It is brilliant, I think.... I loved it. It is frightening, I'm sure. Am I glad I read it? You bet. I can't wait to get my friends to read it and see what they think. In addition it was laugh out loud funny...
