Mochi's Book of the Month

So This year one of my resolutions is to Read more, I've always loved to read but I found that as I got older I don't really have the time to read anymore or at least I didn't think I did, but now I've made it a point to fit reading into my daily schedule even if its only for a few minutes.

So I figured each month when I start a New Book I would share with you the Book I just finished and give a review of the book without giving away any spoilers.

Today I want to share with you :


The Bad Behavior of Belle Cantrell by Loraine Despres 




I absolutely love this book! When I first picked it up I thought I was grabbing a quaint little romance novel but I shortly realized it is much more than that. This book with its theme of Feminism, the formation of the KKK, and the prohibition, really show the tension in the south in the 1920's.

I was completely captivated by Despres' writing style and how perfectly she was able to paint her words into a picture.

I love all of the characters but I must say Belle Cantrell is my favorite this "prim and proper" southern lady has a hilarious sense of humor and really captures how mentally straining it must have been for women to not be able to do the simplest of things without possibly ruining their lives.

This tale of romance, murder, racial tension and extremely funny humor will definitely a book that stays on my bookshelf for years to come.

This is definitely a Must read in my book!
