Two months ago I had the pleasure of reading the first book in this series. And it was wonderful. See my review HERE. So when the author asked if I wanted to read the next one – I did not hesitate. OK, if you have been reading some of my blogs you probably realize that … Continue reading Redemption of the Fallen by Wendy L. Anderson

Bocas by Thomas M. Barron
The book takes place in Panama with the main character an American working in a Beach Bar – sounds like the perfect beach read for the summer – doesn’t it? George, the main character, has a strong heart and a dream job except for working for one of the largest drug lords in the area, … Continue reading Bocas by Thomas M. Barron
Lily Torrence by Fred Andersen
Do you remember the 25 cent pocket paperbacks of Mike Shayne? Yeah – I’m not that old either. However this book reminded me of these as it is a classic noir mystery or pulp mystery. The book takes place in the long ago days of Hollywood. There is a bombshell actress with a past and … Continue reading Lily Torrence by Fred Andersen
The Dark Winter of War by Aaron Hewings
This is another gem of a book discovery from the Tucson Festival of Books. It really was worth the trip!

This book takes the environment of World War II, throws in spies, Nazis, and … Continue reading The Dark Winter of War by Aaron Hewings
Cuisine and Empire: Cooking in World History by Rachel Laudan

Secrets, Lies & Crawfish Pies by Abby Vandiver
This book will be released on June 12. This has everything that a good cozy mystery should have: Interesting characters covering a range of ages and lives, a good sideline story of food and music and most importantly a dead body. At least the murderer was nice enough to put the body in a casket … Continue reading Secrets, Lies & Crawfish Pies by Abby Vandiver

This is the most recent in a series of children’s books by an author whose goal is to assist in speech development. Check out the website for this series HERE As a child who spent all of elementary and some time after that bonding with the school’s speech therapist, these books caught my eye. I … Continue reading Catch That Chinchilla – Talking Tales by Erica Graham
Calizona , It Ain’t YerDaddy’s Apocalypse by Ralph Rotten
This book has been attached to me for the last week. I am sure I have a few more muscles now because it is over 600 pages! – and each one was great. Plus who would not love a book with that author's name! This is a well thought out and clever story. I was … Continue reading Calizona , It Ain’t YerDaddy’s Apocalypse by Ralph Rotten
Wine Comes In Six-Packs by Lisa Orban
This is the third book I have read from this author and her titles get me every time. She pulled me in with I’d Rather Starve than Cook, a great cookbook with side stories that were way too familiar (REVIEW HERE) and followed up with It’ll Feel Better When It Quits Hurting a beginning memoir … Continue reading Wine Comes In Six-Packs by Lisa Orban
