The Book Nest: Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story by Peter Bagge

http://corinnesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2015/05/woman-rebel-margaret-sanger-story-by.html

Thursday, May 14, 2015. Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story by Peter Bagge. Genre: adult graphic novel biography. Maybe it's just caricature at it's finest, but I didn't always love the look. It's hard to read about how women were devalued, how their opinions and causes were so much harder to get support for than anything a man would propose. One heck of a life is within these pages. I need to give three cheers to Margaret and others like her for paving the way for us. Where does this one belong?

The Book Nest: Reading Swap Challenge!!

http://corinnesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2010/12/reading-swap-challenge.html

Saturday, December 4, 2010. One of my favorite things to do is just THINK about what book I'll read next! When Melissa of Book Nut. And Tricia of Library Queue. Decided to try a swap of books between the three of us, I WAS IN! Apparently this is called a Reading Swap Challenge, wherein I give each of them a list of five books I think they need to read, and they do the same for me! Now I just have to have them read before 2012. Book List from Tricia at Library Queue:. The Wednesday Wars Gary D. Schmidt.

The Book Nest: The Chocolate Kiss by Laura Florand

http://corinnesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-chocolate-kiss-by-laura-florand.html

Friday, July 31, 2015. The Chocolate Kiss by Laura Florand. You can guess how it ends, because this book is definitely a romance novel (yes, there are very racey scenes to skip over if it's not your thing). Romance novels typically bore me within the first two chapters but this one is just cute. I have a soft spot for romantic stories that involve food and baking, especially chocolate (why is that?

The Book Nest: Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray (audio)

http://corinnesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2014/03/vanity-fair-by-william-makepeace.html

Thursday, March 27, 2014. Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray (audio). Vanity Fair. You frightened me, with your length and your subtitle: a novel without a hero. I think I tend to like heroes, so I was unsure of whether or not you and I would get along. But, thank heavens, we did. Brilliant, this story. Not for everyone, I'll admit, but brilliant nonetheless.

The Book Nest: A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle

http://corinnesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-study-in-scarlet-by-arthur-conan-doyle.html

Sunday, July 26, 2015. A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle. I am glad I've got one Sherlock Holmes under my belt. I don't usually go for murder mystery stories (unless they have Benedict Cumberbatch in them) but I feel like I'm in the mood, I'd go for another :). Where does this one belong?

The Book Nest: The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker (audiobook)

http://corinnesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-golem-and-jinni-by-helene-wecker.html

Tuesday, May 19, 2015. The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker (audiobook). Another recent arrival in New York City: the Jinni. The Jinni is NOT new. He has lived for ages and has just been released from an old copper flask into a new land and a new time. With considerable skills and very little patience, the Jinni would like nothing more than break the band that ties him to an unknown master. Where does this one belong? May 20, 2015 at 10:37 AM.

The Book Nest: Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

http://corinnesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2012/08/anna-karenina-by-leo-tolstoy.html

Friday, August 17, 2012. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. I feel lucky that, for me, Anna Karenina was a completely blank slate. All I knew: that it was Russian and that it was really long. This means that I went into it with no expectations, only a conviction to finish and a hope to find it a meaningful experience. There is much philosophizing on the part of Levin and his comrades. Sometimes there had to be skimming. Would I tackle it again? Where does this one belong? August 17, 2012 at 2:26 PM.
