This is a light and easy read – light sci-fi, light romance, a touch of witty banter between characters (one of my favorites!) and a dose of a good storyline. The main characters Zoey and her neighbor who just happens to be an Ambassador (from another planet) are well done and adorable in that trying … Continue reading Lost in Amber by Esther Rabbit

Lovely Chaos: Comedy, Crack and Consciousness My Life in 1980’s New York By Joe Montaperto
Recently I traveled back to my home state of New Jersey and for the trip, I packed this book. It seemed appropriate as the author is a Jersey guy and (aging myself here) the book happens when I also lived in the area the book is set in. Joe, the author, did a fine job … Continue reading Lovely Chaos: Comedy, Crack and Consciousness My Life in 1980’s New York By Joe Montaperto

The Custodian Chronicles by Tim Will Hunting
It’s been a while since I gushed about a book – but here I am – gushing all over the place with this one!

By fringe I mean all the work, none of the benefits … Continue reading The Custodian Chronicles by Tim Will Hunting

A Death at Camp David by Harry A. Millman
Here is the 8th genre winner for the category of Thrillers in the Book Talk Radio Club Awards. There are a lot of questions in this book, which I think is a sign of a good mystery. Can a self-described suave toxicologist and a slovenly private investigator find out … Continue reading A Death at Camp David by Harry A. Millman
Blood Ribbon by Roger Bray
This book is the Best in Thrillers winner of 2018 Book Talk Radio Club Awards. While this book definitely fits the thriller genre it has a nice benefit of not being gruesome. I would easily share this with a mature YA reader. Another benefit is that this book is a standalone and has a complete … Continue reading Blood Ribbon by Roger Bray
