Reading Corner (Book Reviews) – Elizabeth Scozzari

Book Reviews, Shop Talk, and More

Welcome to the “Reading Corner!” In addition to sharing my writings, I wanted to celebrate the books and the authors that have impacted me. Below you’ll find videos of book reviews, shop talk, and discussions with myself about all things reading!

Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write. - Annie Proulx

Miracle Creek by Angie Kim

Emotional, somewhat infuriating, eye-opening, and well-written ride. That is my book review in one sentence. Oh, read it but also buy a box of tissues for your soon-to-be-free-flowing tears.

Shadow Ridge by M. E. Browning

We’re barely out of summer and already we’re talking about books that take place in snowy places – winter is definitely on its way!

The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict

Historical fiction – don’t forget to always do some independent research to find out what’s historically accurate & what’s fiction!

To Have and To Kill by John Glatt

Review of the book – not a true crime episode, I tried!

Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger

A coming of age novel that is filled with lots of ordinary & extraordinary grace!

A little deception from a potentially unreliable narrator!

One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus
