Five
star review of Coffee
and Ghosts 1: Must Love Ghosts: The Complete First Season by Charity
Tahmaseb
Katy
took over her grandmother's ghost-hunting business in a small
Minnesota town.
She
used coffee to capture ghosts. Malcolm
arrived
in
town and used
tea in an ancient samovar for
the same purpose. At first they were at odds, but eventually teamed
up as a series of paranormal events occurred. The combination of
scary moments, comedy and romance make for very enjoyable stories.
Katy and Malcolm, his
brother and a few other characters
(and also
a
few of the resident ghosts and sprites) are great characters.
Four
star review of Vietnam Veterans Unbroken: Conversations on Trauma and
Resiliency compiled and edited by Jacqueline Murray Loring
Using
correspondence from seventeen veterans, organized by topic, the
author tells the stories of their service
and their lives
during the forty years since they served. Some of the letters and
stories are moving, some are just sad, many are hard to read.
Illustrated
with photos of the men and women, these stories should be read to
help us understand how the war affected the veterans and what did and
what should have happened to them afterwards.
Three
star review of Toward a More Perfect Union by Bruce A. Lieberman
The
book consists of a series of essays from a specific political
viewpoint rather that any objective, non-partisan one. Although I
mostly agree with the writer, I found it heavy-handed. Mr. Lieberman
obviously loves our country and wants the best for it. His ideas on
how to change it seem impractical under current conditions. If
you’re looking for a book that supports your own ideals, this may
be it.
