Review: A Certain Slant of Light


A Certain Slant of Light
A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Slow in starting, but pretty good once it got going. I wanted to give it 3.5 stars, and usually I do round up. This time, however, it just didn't seem to warrant that fourth star. Hopefully the second book is as enjoyable as the first.

Review: Secrets She Left Behind


Secrets She Left Behind
Secrets She Left Behind by Diane Chamberlain

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



The more books I read by this author, the more I want to read. It helps a LOT that they are all either set or have scenes in an area I remember well - Camp Lejeune/Jacksonville, NC. This one in particular takes place almost exclusively in that area, as one of the main characters first came to the area due to her husband's being stationed on Camp Lejeune.

An odd sense of deja-vu came over me near the beginning of the book when the move to NC was discussed. One of the main characters, Sara (my name) moves from Michigan to NC in 1988 (the year I moved from MI to NC) because her husband Steve (my father's name) is a Marine stationed on Camp Lejeune (that's why we went)... a little bit creepy and a little bit cool all at the same time.

I have since discovered that this is a sequel, so I will definitely be looking for the first book in the very near future.
