For Wordy Wednesday last week, I shared with you guys some of the recent books I’ve been reading, and in lieu of the oh so wordy typical book review, I decided to make little tag clouds of key words and themes and styles of each book. As promised, here is the rest of the list:

6. The Three Weissmans of Westport by Cathleen Schine
