I got some reading done last week and I put up a couple of reviews here and added several to Amazon. So overall, it was a productive week here at My Book Retreat. I hope you had a good week too!
I wrote my review for Little Bee
I also read and reviewed Back to the Homeplace by William Leverne Smith last week. It was an easy read that kept my attention and brought back a lot of memories.
I finally finished the manuscript my friend asked me to review for her friend. I have to say it was very good (although full of typos at this point) and I really hope it's published so I can recommend it to all of you!
In honor of National Reading Group Month, I posted a few lists of top books for book clubs.

I started reading two books this week. "The Heavens Weep for us" by Thelma Reyna and "Devil Talk" by Daniel Olivas. These books are a collection of short stories.
