SciFisstrs' Hummingbird Books: April 2014
http://scifisstrs.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 13, 2014. I can't help but think when I was reading this story of my own grandmother. My grandmother had a stepmother just like Kitty, Bridget, and Anne did. But I never heard of my grandmother's family needing to leave the house because a new wife was coming in. They didn't like her as Kitty and her sisters didn't. But they left as as soon as they could. I guess that's what the custom was when there was no male to carry on the business. Sunday, April 13, 2014. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

SciFisstrs' Hummingbird Books: September 2013
http://scifisstrs.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 23, 2013. This story was written for around the period of the Iranian Revolution. The family was asked to protect their Ayatollah in their hotel. And much like us other things were brought about that went wrong and was asked to help. But sadly when Baba asked for help with his son Abdollah it was never given. Why? Because Baba stood up for the innocent. I give The Rose Hotel 5. Monday, September 23, 2013. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Just two more chapter.

SciFisstrs' Hummingbird Books: Love, Rosie
http://scifisstrs.blogspot.com/2015/03/love-rosie.html
Saturday, March 14, 2015. I like this story. Pretty simple,quirky, and fun. I never read a story that was mainly emails and letters. Oh yeah IM's too when you don't think others can read your messages because you forgot it's not private on a school computer. Was surprised that it worked out as smooth as it did. As James Joyce says "Mistakes are the portals of discovery". As children we never see our parents as aging. As Rosie found out with her own mother it's hard to comprehend. And to feel so o...Too b...

SciFisstrs' Hummingbird Books: December 2013
http://scifisstrs.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 25, 2013. Always heard about this book. Never got to read it. In honor of one of my book friends that recently passed away, I thought I would read it. Since it is the season and all plus she sent me this book for my birthday. Very interesting story it is. Not your typical holiday story. I think my favorite characters were Molly and Theo, and Tuck. Maybe for good measure Roberto, the fruit bat (that could speak? Tuck he grew on you. Just because I felt it didn't need extra storyline.

SciFisstrs' Hummingbird Books: November 2014
http://scifisstrs.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. The Four Corners of the Sky. I liked the story. But I must say it was awfully hard to get on with it. Oh my, it took forever just for the story to move on. Sadly I had to wait til at least a 100 pages for it to get intresting. I always say there is someone out there for everyone. The Four Corners of the Sky blanket Annie with family, job, and a home that she can call her own. That brings it all together to make Annie who she is and what will come of her.

SciFisstrs' Hummingbird Books: February 2014
http://scifisstrs.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 05, 2014. I was very much pleased with To The Nines. I was starting to think someone has lost their edge. Finally the series gets back to being funny. Stephanie has her quirkiness back. The sex/love tension between Morelli and Ranger always a nice item to read. Oh to have the problems that Step has with those two. LOL! Not much on Grandma Mazur or Stephanie's family. Thought it would be fun to read about Lula and Stephanie, but I was wrong. Some things that I thought amusing:. Honey I...

SciFisstrs' Hummingbird Books: March 2014
http://scifisstrs.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 07, 2014. The Last Chinese Chef. This was a book that I picked with a coupon I received from getting the Nook HD. Wasn't sure about the story but said what the heck never read anything from this author anyway. But not so fast. As Maggie got to know Sam the chef, she also learned about Chinese cuisine, Chinese culture. Sam wanted the old world cooking. Even the tools were no longer available. Modern and clean. But is it really that much better? I give The Last Chinese Chef 5- - - -.

Friday, November 29, 2013. The story had to end sadly. But to know Liesel does find someone important is comforting. What a shame. But of course it was all put together nicely. What does a book and an accordion have in common? They all tell a story. And you hear what it says. I give The Book Thief 4- - - - - - -. I feel that the background was a bit weak.
