NOT JUST JANE by Shelley DeWees | Review
*** I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. ** “In Not Just Jane, Shelley DeWees weaves history, biography, and critical analysis into a rip-roaring narrative of the nation’s fabulous, yet mostly forgotten, female literary heritage.

THE SUN ALSO RISES by Ernest Hemingway | Reread
Recently I read The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway for the second time; predictably, my love-hate relationship with this classic American writer continues. When I First Read I first read this classic American novel in April 2015, almost exactly one year before I reread it again in April 2016. I had read Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms for […]
