The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion by Fannie Flagg

The All-Girl Filling Station's Last ReunionThe All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion by Fannie Flagg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nice entry into the history of WASPs through humorous southern tale!

I've not read Flagg before, but this was a great deal of fun. Follows in split-time, a contemporary Southern lady, Sookie, who discovers a connection to a Polish family from Wisconsin. Split between her story in the current day, and the story of the Wisconsin sisters, their family's filling station, and the girls involvment in the Women Airforce Service Pilots. Really a touching story and nice tribute to those women's service and sacrifice.

Across a Billion Years by Robert Silverberg

Across a Billion YearsAcross a Billion Years by Robert Silverberg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nice yarn about archaeology - spanning across the galaxy and (read the title) eons of time.

Good world building with multiple species and cultures. A nice standalone story!
