Shocking, terrifying look at state sponsored slavery of women in the future
Having read this at a girl's school, The Handmaid's Tale is a truly frightening dystopian novel highlighting the state's control over women's bodies. The most worrying aspect of the novel is that parts of it rings true around the world today.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated What Girls Are Good For: A Novel of Nellie Bly in Books
Oct 5, 2020 (Updated Oct 5, 2020)
Nellie Bly was possibly the world's first under-cover, investigative journalist - both male or female - and her story is well worth investigating through this intense biographical, historical fiction novel "What Girls are Good For: A Novel of Nelly Bly" by David Blixt. <br/>https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/01/11/a-female-journalistic-pioneer/

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The Sunken Cathedral in Books
Oct 7, 2020
This novel is stunningly lyrical and limned (to "depict or describe in painting or words" or "suffuse or highlight (something) with a bright color or light") story of storms and life in 21st Century New York. Read my review of this amazing novel here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/05/23/literary-impressionism/

David McK (3576 KP) rated A Battle Won (Adventures of Charles Hayden, #2) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Sequel to Sean Thomas Russels' "Under Enemy Colours", again following the adventures of Captain Charles Hayden aboard the frigate Themis
As before, a large portion of the novel details one particular mission, 'bookended' by events in England. Most - not all - of the characters from the first novel reappear, alongside some new faces and historical personages as Russell continues to build on his previous work. While the novel does occasionally flounder, this is syill an enjoyable read and a worthy successor to that earlier work.

Molly J (Cover To Cover Cafe) (106 KP) rated A Love Letter To Whiskey in Books
Sep 5, 2019
Get Drunk On All The Angst And Romance!
This is my second time reading ALLTW, and my thoughts have not changed: an absolutely addictive novel. Steiner has incredible talent to mix a perfect romance novel filled with angst, hope,and sexy characters.
The journey Brecks, aka B, takes us on, seeing her get drunk on whiskey, reading the vivid descriptions, truly made me feel buzzed just reading the story. As someone who is a big whiskey drinker, I could feel the slow, delicious burn this novel created between Jamie and B's characters. The possessive feel that I got from Jamie had me quivering for more of him.
This book brought out all the feels in me. Just like the first time reading it, I cried for them during their painful moments, I laughed with them for their fun moments, I was angry at them during their stupid moments. And, I absolutely loved them wholly through all their moments. This entire novel, nee, love letter, was soul deep, raw, and fantastically chiseled. Epic, 5 star worthy novel!
*I read this novel via Kindle Unlimited. All opinions, negative or postive, are my own. *
