Review: Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law

Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law by Mary Roach
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I've loved every Mary Roach book I've read. They are laugh out loud funny, and you're learning too! As a fan of hiking vacations, I loved all the new information about animals who "break the law."

I read an arc provided by the publisher.

Review: Hollywood Park

Hollywood Park by Mikel Jollett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This memoir read like a novel and I had a hard time putting it down. It was fascinating to read, but horrifying to think that this was someone's childhood. Anyone who liked Educated will want to read this book.

I received an arc from the publisher.

Review: The Jane Austen Society

The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this. I love Jane Austen and this was an interesting look at a part of her life. There was a varied cast of characters, some I came to know more about than others. I was rooting for all of them to find happiness at the end. There were some surprises that came out of left field. Overall a good read.

Review: A Very Punchable Face

A Very Punchable Face by Colin Jost
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I knew nothing about Colin Jost before reading this book, but love books that make me laugh. This book made me laugh until I cried. There were more serious parts, such as his Mother's experiences on 9/11, that were equally interesting. A good read.

I read an arc from Edelweiss.

Review: The First Day of Spring

The First Day of Spring by Nancy Tucker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a heartbreaking tearjerker and I loved it. I felt for Chrissie and the other children, none of who deserved what happened to them. I even cared about Chrissie's Mam, who was not a sympathetic character.

I read an advanced copy from Edelweiss.
