My Own Little Book Corner

I read 10 books in August.   I read many different genres, some new authors and some repeats. I would rate only one book a little below an "average" read with most of them above average.   A good month.  Hope you can find one or two that interest you. The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michelle Richardson An interesting story of a blue woman who is ostracized by society yet accepted by those who know her through her job as a book woman. This is an interesting story on two levels. First off – I didn’t know there was such a thing as blue people. Learning about this genetic manifestation and how they have learned to “treat” it is interesting. In the context of the book, we are brought face to face with the prejudices that exist based on anything that makes a person different – in this case color. As a reader I learned what a kind person Cussy is and it saddened me that others around her could not see that.  It was also interesting reading about Cussy
