Babylon Sisters: A Novel Babylon Sisters: A Novel by Pearl Cleage


My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
Catherine is a true do-gooder. And she truly believes in the good of other people. So she is thrown for numerous loops throughout this book when she witnesses the pure evil of people she comes in contact with. Romance, suspense, and good relationships are all displayed in this book. Very good read.

Some Things I Never Thought I'd Do: A Novel Some Things I Never Thought I'd Do: A Novel by Pearl Cleage




rating: 4 of 5 stars



I finished this book on Sunday, and I'm becoming more and more a fan of Pearl Cleage. I am reading her books out of order, and with each one, I try to see if I can figure out the order. Anyway, the 'shero' in this novel is a recovering crack addict who takes on a job so that she doesn't lose the house that has been in her family for 3 generations. She uncovers secrets of an ex-lover and makes sure that his mother cannot tarnish his most prized gift. Very good book!

Reading Again...

Before my vacation, I couldn't recall the last time I had actually read a book, from cover to cover. I would check books out at the library, but I would never actually pick them up and read them. Well, on vacation I read 'Seen it all and Done the Rest' by Pearl Cleage.



Very good book. So now I'm feeling like reading again. This week I read 'Something on the Side' by Carl Weber.


It was a good book, but it was a little over the top. I checked out some more books from the library yesterday, so let's hope I keep this up. A goal is to read at least one educational book before the year is out. A biography, something non-fiction.
