Reader Review: "The Cider House Rules"
by Cathryn_Conroy : I first read this incredible book by John Irving more than 25 years ago and reread it now in anticipation of soon reading the sequel "Queen Esther." It was just as captivating and perceptive as I remembered. Beginning in the 1920s and continuing through the…

Reader Review: "The River Is Waiting"
by Anthony_Conty : I often make a big deal about how the flap summary reveals too much. I didn't read anything to preview "The River Is Waiting" by Wally Lamb, and that was the right decision. Lamb produces a study in guilt, loss, and redemption that you need to read to believe.…

Reader Review: "John of John"
by Cathryn_Conroy : This is a profound and deeply felt character-driven novel that is a heartbreaking exploration of dysfunctional family life when there is little love and even less money. Brilliantly written by Douglas Stuart, this is the story of the Macleod family, sheep…

Reader Review: "Fox"
by Cathryn_Conroy : Mr. Fox is dead. Mr. Fox was a bad (bad) man. But who killed him? Or was it an accident? Or possibly suicide? This psychological thriller/murder mystery by Joyce Carol Oates, who was 87 years old when this book was published in 2025, had me reading at the…

Reader Review: "My Friends"
by Anthony_Conty : "My Friends" by Fredrik Backman starts like a dream, not because the events are surreal, but because too much reality unfolds at once across two timelines. An artist paints three friends into the corner of a picture, and then the ownership of that painting…
