Book Rating
I am totally loving this series by Nicole Pyland. The characters are engaging and the plot moves well. I will recommend that you read #0 and #1 in the Chicago Series before reading this book. It can stand alone but is so much better when you know all of it, especially to understand the relationship at the center of the story. Looking forward to book #3.

I had never before read a book by Grace Hitchcock, and I am please to say this will not be the last one I read by her. This book set in the Chicago Worlds Fair is a great historical detective novel, with a quirky main character that really pulls you in from the start. 
I can not wait to read more from this author.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
1986 | Comedy

"That parade scene. The parade scene — I celebrate it. But also it, like, tears me up a little bit. It is just such a joyful… I can’t even imagine what it would have been like to shoot that. It was really wonderful. I saw it as a young person, but then, eventually, moving to Chicago it was pretty great. I felt some ownership to it."

Studs Terkel | 1972 | Philosophy, Psychology & Social Sciences

Book Favorite

"Studs Terkel was a radio host in Chicago who also wrote fantastic oral histories about 20th century America by interviewing regular people about their lives. He covered the Great Depression in Hard Times; World War II in The Good War; and, in this book, what people’s jobs mean to them. His books are invaluable time capsules of how Americans in previous generations spoke and thought about themselves."

When I was on vacation abroad, I finished reading this very interesting, contemporary, women’s fiction novel, set in my home town of Chicago. This book was offered to me by the author’s publicist, and if you want to know what I thought of it, I hope you'll read my #bookreview on my blog now. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/10/18/games-sets-and-mismatched/
