Book Review: Good Bad Girl by Alice Feeney
Alice Feeney’s “Good Bad Girl” reignited my passion for reading, and I regret not picking it up sooner. The story of a kidnapped baby at a supermarket, and the subsequent intertwining lives of four women, kept me on the edge of my seat.

Review of "The Fight"
Fifty years can be a very short jump in time… As I mentioned in a previous piece, Jake Paul just defeated Mike Tyson in a match where a much older fighter was expected to destroy a much younger and less experienced up and comer (Paul is 27; Tyson, 58). All the material and reviews I read before the fight supported that argument. I was almost tempted to put money down on it…but I did not. And I did not watch the fight. A part of me knew that all the experts and all the prognosticators were looking at the fight with the wrong ideas in mind. Many of them wanted a name they knew to take back what was once his; they wanted history to keep rhyming.

Rachel Reviews: Ruso and the Disappearing Dancing Girls by R.S. Downie (Medicus Book I)
Note: This book is published in the U.S. under the title Medicus: A Novel of the Roman Empire by Ruth Downie * A new Roman mystery to me, and a very enjoyable one at that. To give context, Trajan has just passed away and Hadrian is next in line. Set in Deva, which is modern day Chester here in Britain, Ruso is a medic who administers treatments to the legion with which he is stationed. So, his dealings are mainly with soldiers but he also has private customers and encounters people from all walks of life including the natives, some of them recalcitrant and grudge-bearing and others, more accepting of their conquerors and the changes in life that they bring.

Book Review: The Women by Kristin Hannah
Kristin Hannah’s “The Women,” is a captivating journey that will tear you apart and then gently piece you back together. Despite not being a fan of historical fiction, I found myself engrossed in this novel, thanks to Hannah’s intricate writing style and compelling characters, particularly the main character, Frankie, a war nurse in Vietnam. I recently learned that Hannah had conceived this idea in 1997, and I’m glad she waited until she was ready to write it.
