The centered, self assured look of the woman spreading her arms in what I perceived to be joy – caught my eye and enticed me to read the back cover of this book. The summary says this book is an exploration and that is true on many levels.

Mad About Hue: A Memoir in Living Color by Eleyne-Mari Sharp
I won this book from the author in a contest. I was attracted to the title and description. I have always been someone who needs color in their life. My homes have always had rooms painted in different colors. My yellow kitchen makes me happy and my green bathroom is relaxing (but my daughter’s 6 … Continue reading Mad About Hue: A Memoir in Living Color by Eleyne-Mari Sharp
Evidence of Desire by Jessie Scott
OMG – the first chapter pulled me in, surprised me and made me want more but all the other chapters kept me reading.

Book Cover Design Formula by Anita Nipane
The old adage that "You can't judge a book by it's cover" certainly is true. Unfortunately, with so many books available to read, browsing the cover is a tried-and-true means to whittle down the choices (of course, reviews by trusted sources are important too). I read a lot books published by independent authors. Far too … Continue reading Book Cover Design Formula by Anita Nipane

I believed I knew where the well written main plot of the story was heading but then through a tangent it became even better. This suspenseful book, with nice surprises along the way, … Continue reading Kalorama Road by E. Denise Billups

Over the last 6 months I have had a few reviews for books by Indie Authors removed. I broke a guideline without realizing it. I … Continue reading Dear Amazon, WTF????
The Flip by Michael Phillip Cash
This cover and the multiple awards for this book intrigued me. The thought of house flipping has crossed my mind as something I would consider doing. Plus the fact that the house I grew up in was rumored by the town to be haunted, had me leaping into this read. I'll be honest, I am … Continue reading The Flip by Michael Phillip Cash
