I can so relate to the bitchiness of a group of girls together and these days the age group is getting younger!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and at least these two ticked the boxes in a few of your outstanding categories :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-67631573259575313872017-06-14T17:01:09.415+01:002017-06-14T17:01:09.415+01:00I do like the sound of the second book.

I think that my interest was first sparked by an old National Geographic article that I read as child. I can imagine that the writing would be a bit ponderous however. Perhaps it is better to read the excepted version :)Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-31970905182009070852017-06-13T17:10:18.418+01:002017-06-13T17:10:18.418+01:00I'm not sure either of these particularly appe...I'm not sure either of these particularly appeal to me, but the second one sounds better, based on your reviews. Like Barbara, my TBR pile is such that I don''t need to be adding books I'm not totally gung-ho for.

To the holy shrines doesn't appeal to me and as my TBR pile is growing ever higher, I won’t add this one.<br />I hope you are keeping well and enjoying the sunshine.<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.com
