Snarky comments, underlying humor, sarcasm – if that’s your thing – this is the perfect book for you and me! A rare 5 stars! After reading the summary on the back, I was expecting a serious read and it is written like a great drama until you start digesting the words. There are so many … Continue reading Black Iron by Franklin Veaux & Eve Rickert

Hope and Other Superpowers: A Life-Affirming, Love-Defending, Butt-Kicking, World-Saving Manifesto by John Pavlovitz
Are you a superhero? You just might have what it takes, a superpower, and not even realize it. This author uses Super Heroes and their attributes as well as things that may be your kryptonite to show the reader how they can deal with their current world.

The Last Titan by Craig Wainwright
I get asked, a lot, why I read Indie Authors when there are so many “proven” authors and best sellers out there. This book is one of the main reasons. The book was laid out and presented in a way that shows the time and effort this author dedicated into creating his book. He also … Continue reading The Last Titan by Craig Wainwright
Memoirs of a Guardian Angel by Graham Downs
This perceptive, novella is a sweet and simplistic tale that gives the reader an insiders’ view to life as a Guardian Angel. I did not realize that even they have bosses! This spiritual rather than religious view gives all readers a chance to examine and contemplate the idea of guardian angels. The main character, Adam … Continue reading Memoirs of a Guardian Angel by Graham Downs

Our Bloody Pearl by D. N. Bryan
This YA book, like its characters, is a unique mix of several genres. There is a bit of steampunk, adventure, budding romance, sirens, family relationships, and gender identification. I have been spending some time with the young teens in my life, while I was reading this and their responses to certain subplots have been amusing. … Continue reading Our Bloody Pearl by D. N. Bryan
The Druid of Death: A Sherlock Holmes Adventure by Richard Ryan
So glad to be part of Bits About Books Blog Tour for this wonderful book. While I enjoy Sherlock Holmes stories I must admit that I am more of a fan of a lot of the spin-off series. This one follows well and keeps to the characteristics of the true Sherlock Holmes series. The phrasing, … Continue reading The Druid of Death: A Sherlock Holmes Adventure by Richard Ryan
Dust In My Pack by Nancy O’Hare
This experience-based travel book is broken into areas of interest. For example, Ancient Cities or Get Away Adventures or one that was my favorite, Serene Scenes. The author has participated in a lot of adventures, most of which I am not sure I would be brave enough to do. In most cases, the travel was … Continue reading Dust In My Pack by Nancy O’Hare
