catching up

In the last week or so I have finished six books. Some were excellent. Some were not so much. Here is the list of books I’ve recently finished and still need to review:

• The Poet Slave of Cuba: a biography of Juan Francisco Manzano by Margarita Engle
• The Surrender Tree: Poems of Cuba's Struggle for Freedom by Margarita Engle
• Wicked Plants: the weed that killed Lincoln's mother & other botanical atrocities by Amy Stewart
• Splendor: a Luxe novel by Anna Godbersen
• A Taste for Red by Lewis Harris
• Out of my mind by Sharon M. Draper

For readability sake, I am going to split the reviews up into several posts.
