New Review: Rising Out of Hatred

April 3, 2019April 3, 2019 ~ lutheranjulia ~ Leave a comment

Book: Rising Out of Hatred Author: Eli Saslow Format: Net Galley (free ARC), audio via Audible I really struggled to read this book. I have read many other reviews in which people complain that the author does directly note when he is quoting Derek or Don. In the author's note at the back of the book, … Continue reading New Review: Rising Out of Hatred

New Review: Matchmaking for Beginners

January 28, 2019 ~ lutheranjulia ~ Leave a comment

Matchmaking for Beginners was free on Kindle Unlimited and while I had plenty to read, I just needed an unscheduled stop somewhere. This book is an excellent mental palate cleanser- like a sorbet for the mind. That doesn't mean it is forgettable or not worth it. I remember exactly what pineapple sorbet tastes like and I've … Continue reading New Review: Matchmaking for Beginners

New Review: My Life as a Goddess

January 24, 2019January 24, 2019 ~ lutheranjulia ~ Leave a comment

I loved this book. I started with the Kindle edition and then realized that I should switch and listen to it in audio. I have no regrets about this book. This is NOT a cohesive and chronological memoir, but a collection of bio-essays on Branum's thoughts, experiences, strengths. I will be going back through the … Continue reading New Review: My Life as a Goddess

New Review: Varina

November 21, 2018 ~ lutheranjulia ~ Leave a comment

Book: Varina Author: Charles Frazier Format: audiobook Access: library I listened to Varina as I drove from Alaska to Montana. It was interesting to contemplate the life of the wife and widow of Jefferson Davis as I watch Canadian prairie rolling past my car windows. The conceit of the book is that James Brooks- a man who … Continue reading New Review: Varina

New Review: Sea Prayer

October 21, 2018October 19, 2018 ~ lutheranjulia ~ Leave a comment

Khaled Hosseini has a new book.  It's VERY SHORT, which is apparently a complaint on Amazon. Just less than 50 pages, it's a picture book for adults- meditating on the refugee crisis in southern Europe. In Sea Prayer, a father prays, poetically, for his son- regarding his memories of a better time, the terrifying present … Continue reading New Review: Sea Prayer

New Review: The Great Alone

September 18, 2018September 18, 2018 ~ lutheranjulia ~ 1 Comment

This review may contain SPOILERS!! You've been warned.  I kicked this book down the road for quite a while because it's just not in my usual genres. As an Alaskan, I also have a real fear of reading books that take place in Alaska because of what might be mis-portrayed or annoying in them. The Great … Continue reading New Review: The Great Alone
