New Non-Fiction Section

5-19-23 – Hello,

With this post I’m adding non-fiction to the OWLS Blog.  I read many memoirs and biographies, as well as social and cultural history, and to start I’m sharing three group biographies of women – in the early 1900’s (British physicians), the 1920’s-1930’s (British writers and academics), and the 1960’s (American writers, poets, and artists).

I welcome suggestions for more non-fiction!  Please either send a comment or e-mail me at [email protected]   

I’m Back!

5-8-23:  OWLS has had a short hiatus, as the subscription function wasn’t working, and I’ve had cataract surgery.  But I’m back, with several new fiction suggestions, including “Septuagenarian Sleuths” for mystery lovers.  (Please let me know if you have any to add!)  

Thank you for your continued interest – and it will help if a few of you let me know that the subscription is working ([email protected] )
