MARY CELESTE
by Dr. Veronica Esagui

Reviewed by Amalie Hill
​Rated: 5 Star
Dr Veronica Esagui's new book is more than just an historical account of a lost ship. In her newest book, she begins with many fascinating details about Captain Briggs' family and the way of life in mid-19th century Massachusetts, about sailing ships and ocean voyages. The crew was as important as the ship, so when at the last moment Captain Briggs must make some changes, the mystery begins to unfold. Dr Esagui tells the story of life aboard a ship and more as she explores what might have happened to Captain Briggs and his family, as well as the crew. No one knows why a ship full of cargo and personal effects were still on board and no people were ever found. In 'Mary Celeste: The solved Mystery of a Ghost Ship' Dr Esagui offers us a peek into what might answer the questions that remain after so many years.

REACH FOR THE SKY
by James Scott

Reviewed by 
Thomas Stimson
​Rated: 5 Star
​A great tale during the early days of flight involving a young girl and the tragedy that befalls her. With a strong will, desire to learn and a willing teacher, she overcomes obstacles to enter into the male-dominated world of flying and eventually is able to bring the protagonists of her family tragedy to justice.
​
Well-researched, engagingly written and wonderfully paced, I was cheering for our hero all along the way!

A SAVOR OF CLOVE
by tom r mcconnell

Samantha Waltz
​Rated: 5 Star
​A fabulous book. It is historical fiction, and the research is thorough and accurate. The dialogue reflects the time without being slow which is a real feat. The plot is believable, and the pacing superb. The author deftly paints scenes ranging from markets to sword fights. I can see and hear and smell them. It's a big book, but it's tight. The issues dealt with are still important today, and I'm fascinated to see them discussed in the setting of knights and monks, when manuscripts were being illuminated at monasteries, and brother was pitted against brother hoping to inherit a fiefdom Thank you, Tom McConnell, for giving us this extraordinary book.

YETZIRAH
by Pamela Cowan

Reviewed by Amazon Customer
Rated: 5 Star
The author provides stellar imagery and character development all throughout the story. The imaginative world she has created offers a unique and intriguing experience for the reader. The struggles of a troubled childhood following the protagonist into young adulthood is paired with a journey of healing and strengthening friendships with those important to us. It easily draws the reader in.
