So I took 2 months off of reviewing. The BE clan decided to travel all over the country and world so there was hardly any time to update my reading spreadsheet, let alone write a review. But we’re back and finally all healthy so moments of free time are now available! Welcome to catch-up. And let’s start with an adorable history book about presidential assassinations! In Sarah Vowell’s vein of quirky, off kilter history books this one talks about the assassinations of Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, […]
Kidnapped the Wrong… eh, I give it trying to be witty. It’s all just bad.
Guys, I was taking one for the team here. The cover was beyond stupid (and a little creepy, is that her front or her back?), the description was ridiculous, and it looked like review gold.

She’s in training, but she never expects to actually fly a mission (leave that to the men). Beverly (who’s last name I’ve already forgotten) is an African […]
