Book Review: Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler

My Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars! My Review: This book is a modern day retelling of  The Taming Of The Shrew by William Shakespeare! It is a part of the Hogarth Shakespeare Project! This was my first time reading Anne Tyler's work. I really enjoyed this retelling it was a witty, fresh take on a classic! The story ended leaving me wanting a little more which thankfully was delivered in the epilogue! Would I recommend it? Yes! It is a fun, light read, great story and characters!

Audio Review- Fox 8: A Story by George Saunders

My Review: First off, It's always nice...

Great Short Poems   by   Paul Negri   (Editor)   Bea 's review 2 out of 5 stars! it was ok Read from January 06 to 09, 2016 There was a handful of poems I enjoyed but I struggled to get through this one. I just wasn't feeling it the struggle was real. I don't think the poem selection for this book flowed together very well at all.
