Book Reviews Around 451

by JM

books.jpgBook reviews! I’m certainly not the only one on the 451Press network who does them (over on The Book Stacks), and today I would like to feature a few that have been posted recently.

Sally Anderson from over at Style Fix has reviewed Kelley Styring’s In Your Purse: Archaeology of the American Handbag. (Which I would like to read.) This book contains fun facts like “14 percent of the women that she studied carried a weapon in their purse� and other tidbits. Certainly it’s bound to be an interesting read for any woman who carries a purse.

Beth Turnage from Astrology Explored has reviewed Asteroid Goddesses by Demetra George and Douglas Block. This book is about the role of women in society in relation to the female goddesses and their treatment in history. This is bound to be another interesting read – especially for women!

Lastly we have April Gilford at Life as a Christian Woman who has reviewed Quilting Patches of Life, the newest book from Christian author Lori Wagner. This book connects life events – the good and the bad – and quilting as a way of explaining how we are the people we are today.

I hope you enjoy the reviews and read one or more of these books.
