Pops Fatherhood in Pieces by Michael Chabon

July 31, 2018July 31, 2018 / jenniereads / 1 Comment

Spending years as a librarian at a preschool, I had a few go-to books.  This author’s The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man was and is one of my favorites.  It was read aloud frequently in my library and suggested constantly.  I even joked that I should be earning royalty on the number of copies I … Continue reading Pops Fatherhood in Pieces by Michael Chabon

An Enlightening Quiche by Eva Pasco

July 31, 2018 / jenniereads / 1 Comment

This book took me a little time to get pulled into the story.  I think it was because of the unique writing style.  Instead of the recent adaptation of least amount of words to convey a thought – this author expands and enriches each sentence with adorning words to decorate the thought.  However, once I … Continue reading An Enlightening Quiche by Eva Pasco

21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari

July 23, 2018 / jenniereads / 3 Comments

I chose this book to end my weekend of cleansing my palate and solely reading Non-Fiction.  This is not a review of an Indie Author.  However I have read the other two books by this author and while I did not love them, I did learn from them and they led to several wonderful conversations … Continue reading 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari

Who Is Mother Neff and why is she a state park? By Allan C. Kimball

July 22, 2018 / jenniereads / 1 Comment

Many years ago I traveled to Mother Neff State Park to watch my kids in a cross country event.  I was curious about the park and its names so I did a little research.  Come to find out Mother Neff is the Mother of all State Parks in Texas.  In 1916 this mom of Governor … Continue reading Who Is Mother Neff and why is she a state park? By Allan C. Kimball

The Doctor’s Wife by Myra Hargrave McIlvain

July 21, 2018July 22, 2018 / jenniereads / 1 Comment

I first got a glimpse of this author at the Texas Book Festival and picked up her non-fiction book Texas Tales. When I saw her again at the Wimberley Book Fest, I knew I needed another and picked up this book.  Myra is an incredible storyteller.  Her Historical Fiction read as a nice blend of … Continue reading The Doctor’s Wife by Myra Hargrave McIlvain

Midnight Marauder by Roy Clinton

This is the first book in a series and the good news is there are already 3 available to get you started!  The book starts with a murder and then jumps back in time to give the reader the story leading up to the murder.  There was a lot to like in this book and … Continue reading Midnight Marauder by Roy Clinton

A u 7 9 by Anita Dickason

July 18, 2018July 17, 2018 / jenniereads / 1 Comment

This book features those people in our world who just seem to have a little something extra.  The ability to put people at ease, or know what is going on behind the façade we put up.  Those abilities and a strong thriller/suspense plot made this book a great read.  When I first saw this book … Continue reading A u 7 9 by Anita Dickason

Eat Cake. Be Brave. by Melissa Radke

July 17, 2018July 17, 2018 / jenniereads / 1 Comment

A couple weeks ago I was attending the Agent & Editors conference in Austin.  The speaker on Saturday evening was this author.  I was tired after a full day and thinking of skipping this last event but they said there would be cake – so of course I went.  There was cake (and it was … Continue reading Eat Cake. Be Brave. by Melissa Radke

The Unicorn Hunter by Del Henderson

July 10, 2018 / jenniereads / 1 Comment

This is a very unique perspective on what most see as a sweet, mythological creature, the unicorn.  This is a brief book and the start of a new series. I’ll be honest; this one is tough for me to rate.  There is a lot of good – unique story, tragic main character, great back story … Continue reading The Unicorn Hunter by Del Henderson
