Books I've Read

San Diego children's librarian Clara Breed wrote and sent books to the Japanese-American children that she knew who were removed to the camps during World War II. I like the book, but disagree with her characterization of the camps as 'concentration camps'.

This is the best non-fiction book (that I can remember) that I have ever read. It is about the 80s fire at the Los Angeles Public Library Central, a bit of the history of the Library, and glimpses of the workings.

Violet is planning for her quinceanera that her abuela insists she should have. Interesting, funny. ALA Notable.

Another fine entry (#3) in the Thursday Murder Club series.

Thursday Murder Club #2. Really really good!!!

I really enjoyed this, so many red herrings! I thought I knew who done it, but each time I was wrong!

Non-fiction, a U.S. Army surgeon recounts his time in Korea during the war. Very interesting.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very easy to read, which to me means it was very well written. I've read a number of books by famous authors that are very choppy, it's like no one edited them. This flows very nicely. I learned a bit about marshes and North (It WAS North, wasn't it? I always forget!) Carolina. The ending/reveal, though. No spoiler, but I just don't believe it.
