#bookreview There are 3 generations, 2 mothers-in-law and 2 daughters-in-law in "The Real Mrs.Tobias" by Sally Koslow. This book fits the genre of my oldest asking, "Why are there so many books about #Jews living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan?" https://t.co/6PPbn4nJRD

#bookreview I usually observe a book could have been shorter. "Schoolhouse Rock: Official Guide" is one that I wish had been longer. I wanted more details, how the idea was formulated, how it was written, how it was animated, Easter eggs, the works! https://t.co/gp136wj7MD

#bookreview I really enjoyed "The Family Remains" by Lisa Jewell. It's a domestic thriller following multiple threads of seemingly unconnected stories until they all came together at the end. Halfway through, I realized that I'd read the prequel to this story...

I read... uhm... a lot. Which is why it's so rare for me to find something truly original that I haven't read before and truly didn't know where it was going.
