Review: The Duchess Takes a Husband by Harper St. George

The Duchess Takes a Husband Author: Harper St. George Reviewer: Ang Rating: B+ What I’m Talking About: I will be honest, the only reason this book did not receive an A is because it deals with VERY sensitive topics, namely domestic violence and rape, and DID NOT come with a warning. As a survivor of both, I […]

Review: Artfully Yours by Joanna Lowell

Artfully Yours Author: Joanna Lowell Reviewer: Ang Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: I will admit, I almost didn’t finish Artfully Yours; the beginning third was a bit slow moving for me. However, my rule is: unless I find something horribly offensive about the book, I have to hit the halfway point before throwing in the towel, and […]

Review: Wise Gals by Nathalia Holt

Wise Gals Author: Nathalia Holt Reviewer: Ang Rating: B What I’m Talking About: Wise Gals is a very well written, extremely well researched book that covers incredible information about the women who were pivotal to the creation and success of CIA.
