A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Prince or Chauffeur? A Story of Newport - Lawrence Perry

Technically, this should be a review for a memoir. BUT, I'm working my way through a hardback that's over 600 pages, and it's also a bit dry. Since it's a large book, I'm not really able to read it while I'm on the treadmill, so I had a fiction book on my Kindle for when I'm walking. Depending on how things shape up, I might get through another fiction book before I finish my current memoir. I'm about halfway done with it at present. And now, back to the review...

I picked this book at random and had no idea what it was about. Jack is in the Navy and is working on a design for a torpedo. He learns that a vital part has been stolen and suspects that he will find the part if he takes a position with a prominent family. Another plus is that a certain young woman he's just met also lives there.

This book was pretty good. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, but it also didn't get too sappy. It didn't stick around for longer than necessary, and I enjoyed it for what it was. I would probably label this as a "diet" book, and if you need something light to read, it's not a bad choice. Good Book!
