ADVENTURE SALON

What would you do if you could do anything in the world, and money was no object? First, you'd make a list; that's what I did, anyway. And while money is definitely an object, sometimes as big as an elephant in a room, you find a way to get what you want without being trampled. This blog is about my Bucket List and yours, too. My list ranges from baking a souffle for my husband Sarge, to sitting atop a tortoise in the Galapagos. While contemplating your own list, enjoy some of my adventures.

Wench

Wench
by Dolen Perkins-Valdez
This is a novel about four enslaved mistresses who meet each summer when their masters take them away to a vacation resort that happens to be in free territory. As they struggle with yearnings for freedom like the free blacks that surround ...
This Is Where I Leave You
5 of 5 stars
This Is Where I Leave You
by Jonathan Tropper
I laughed out loud about twenty-seven times while reading this book about a family whose patriarch has died, and they have to sit shiva, which means the five siblings have to be under the same roof for seven days of mourning, along with the...
Already Home
4 of 5 stars
Already Home
by Susan Mallery
I really liked this book. I laughed and cried. Though it took me a while to get into it (perhaps because it was an audio book?), once I was hooked, Mallery couldn't get rid of me. I love her writing, the narrator's voice, as well as the voi...

My Book Reviews

Arlene's bookshelf: read

The Book of Joe
5 of 5 stars
The Book of Joe
by Jonathan Tropper
This novel by Jonathan Tropper is the story of an author who writes a scathing bestseller about his hometown, a character assassination of nearly everyone that lives there. It's even been turned into a movie wherein the fictional author cas...
My Sister's Keeper
4 of 5 stars
My Sister's Keeper
by Jodi Picoult
Simply riveting. The thing about Jodi Picoult's books is you always learn something new. Now I know more than I should about leukemia and neutropenics.
Caleb's Crossing
5 of 5 stars
Caleb's Crossing
by Geraldine Brooks
This story, based on the true event of the first Native American to graduate Harvard, is the best book I've read all year. I was totally absorbed in the story, and if you're an author yourself, you'll appreciate Brooks writing. Simply inspi...
Smokin' Seventeen
1 of 5 stars
Smokin' Seventeen
by Janet Evanovich
I couldn't get past Chapter 15 because of the stereotypical character Lula. If she wasn't eating fried chicken, she was talking about eating fried chicken, and then she referred to herself as a ho. I mean, who does that? Really. Where's the...

Girl in Translation

Girl in Translation
by Jean Kwok
Kimberly Chang is an 11-year old immigrant in Brooklyn NY trying to adapt to a new country and a different world than the one she knew in Hong Kong. Watching her traverse the obstacles thrown at her makes for an interesting read. Some times...
