This was a 5 Star gem hiding on my "to be read" shelf. Way back in April of 2016, I was attending the Texas Library Association Conference and heard a panel of speakers who then gave the audience a copy of their books. The copy I have is an Advanced Reader and has the cover … Continue reading The Far Empty by J. Todd Scott
Month: January 2018
The Life She Was Given by Ellen Marie Wiseman
At the beginning of the month I asked for help in choosing some books to read just for the joy of reading. This is one of the two picked for the month of January. (And I am thrilled that I actually got to it – another 2018 goal on its way!!!!) This story jumps between … Continue reading The Life She Was Given by Ellen Marie Wiseman
Fading Grace by Christine Roney
This novella led me to a lot of thought. I read the blurb a while ago and was intrigued with the story of an older woman feeling and then becoming invisible. How many of us over 50 have felt this? The shop door that is not held for you, the waiter at the restaurant who … Continue reading Fading Grace by Christine Roney
The Girl Who Could Read Hearts by Sherry Maysonave
This author was at the Texas Book Festival. She was surrounded by people chatting with her so I never did get to meet her but had a very nice conversation with her husband who convinced me to give the book a read. If you believe in angels, this could be a good read for you. … Continue reading The Girl Who Could Read Hearts by Sherry Maysonave
A Murder of Saints by Chris Miller
I read this book because the author suggested it to me on Goodreads. No, I do not know Chris so his suggestion made me smile and well, I agreed to read it. Most of you know I am not a horror fan and this book is at the edge of horror for me. There are … Continue reading A Murder of Saints by Chris Miller
Shark Eater by K.D. McNiven
This is an adventure/action book and the story really keeps you moving at a quick pace. It reminded me of a Clive Cussler book. The book has almost two separate plots. The first is the story of Decker & Callie with salvager Dax and their search for a shipwreck from the 1500’s but the second … Continue reading Shark Eater by K.D. McNiven
The Darling Dahlias and the Unlucky Clover #7 by Susan Wittig Albert
This book is the seventh in the series but the first one of the series that I have read. I had the good fortune of receiving an Advance Reader Copy (there was a happy dance at the mailbox – and it’s a community shared box so there may have been talk). I have read a … Continue reading The Darling Dahlias and the Unlucky Clover #7 by Susan Wittig Albert
Texas Tales: Stories that Shaped a Landscape and a People by Myra Hargrave McIlvain
I have a secret. When I need a reading break I jump into Non-fiction. It is my rescue reading and gets me back into the real world. This book was my rescue from the holidays. It took me about two weeks to read it – not because of the length – but because with the … Continue reading Texas Tales: Stories that Shaped a Landscape and a People by Myra Hargrave McIlvain
New Years Resolution
I need to read more for pleasure. I have a continuing moving list of To Be Read books for review or editing purposes but lately I have found that I am not reading just for the pure pleasure of it. That and the overflowing pile of books I have collected over the last few years … Continue reading New Years Resolution
