Past Gems of the Moment

Wondering what you've missed?  Here are all the "gems" featured on What's In It's home page.  Enjoy!

(Note:  Gems of the Month are not necessarily books that are free of concerning content.  They are only some of reviewers' favorites, and the list leaves out many other worthwhile options.  Be sure to read the reviews before you try them.  That said, be aware that a few novels are classics and are therefore not reviewed on What's In It.)
