Book Reviews by Susan Harsha

Susan is a Hudson resident, avid reader, and Book Chat enthusiast. Join Book Chat on the 4th Thursday of the month at 10:30am, January through October, to get Susan’s take without waiting for us to publish it here.

From Susan, herself:

I hope that you are enjoying these book reviews.  As Jenny mentioned, I am a Hudson resident and an avid reader.  I can thank my parents who were avid readers themselves and encouraged my sisters and I to read whatever caught our fancy, no matter the subject matter.  As a child I eagerly read the “Childhood of Famous Americans” biography series in the school library.  In high school I discovered Agatha Christie and am a mystery lover to this day!  But over time I learned to enjoy most all genres including history, sci-fi, memoirs, and whatever else catches my eye at the library or book store.  Sometimes I wish there were more hours in the day so I could read more!  But while I love talking about books, I also relish hearing about what other people are reading so come join us at Book Chat!
