Library Love: Mini Reviews of Library Borrows

by Donna Huber

You seemed to like my library round-up that I posted last month, so I thought I would share what I checked out of the library in June. I mostly use Libby because I love audiobooks,  but I did check something out of my local library, and for work I borrowed a book from the university library.  What are you borrowing from your library?

Chelsea Girls by Catherine Lloyd ~ A Review

A glamorous and revealing biographical novel starring one of Swinging London’s defining figures, Mary Quant, who made history with the miniskirt, slashed hemlines, and transformed more than fashion, for herself, for her friends, and for a generation.

A Pair of Aces by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray ~ a Review

by Donna Huber

Eunice Carter, assistant district attorney for the City of New York and Manhattan’s first Black female prosecutor, has her sights set on the one and only Lucky Luciano, head of New York City’s five largest organized crime families. Other prosecutors have tried to bring down Lucky, but they’ve all focused on the crime syndicate’s traditional businesses—bootlegging, gambling, loan sharking, and drug dealing—or tax evasion. No one has thought to approach the mob through its hand in prostitution. Until Eunice. But she can’t get Luciano alone.

2 New Historical Fiction Novels Featuring Strong Women

by Susan Roberts

Way back when I was in school, we never learned about real women who made contributions in the past.  Historical Fiction is changing that, and many of the newest books feature strong women who made a difference in wars and in the American way of life.  Today, I have two reviews of stories about women who made a difference – the first is about an Irish woman who emigrated to America after the potato famine in Ireland. The second is about a woman who worked as a spy during World War II.

Not Your Typical Beach Read Romance Novels

by MK French

I thought we should end the month with a couple of romances, seeing as it is the most popular "beach read" genre. However, these are your ordinary romance novels. One is a fantasy romance, and the other is a post-apocalyptic romance.
