From the first page the whimsical illustrations and lyrical prose make this book the perfect read aloud for a large variety of ages. It made me long for my days as a librarian so that I could see the faces of children as they enjoyed this lovely book. The main characters are two sisters who … Continue reading Livi & Grace by Jennifer Lynch Illustrated by Missi Jay

The Strange By J. B Murray
Yesterday on Twitter I placed a Dear J. B. Murray note asking him to please include a warning on his book. Not that kind of warning – more along the lines of Readers Beware, please turn off your phone and clear your schedule before reading this – you will not want to be interrupted once … Continue reading The Strange By J. B Murray
High White Sun by J. Todd Scott
This federal agent turned author impressed me with his first book and this, his second was the same level of intense prose and consuming read. The book picks up shortly after the first, The Far Empty, ended. However, I do think there are enough tie backs that you could read it as a separate book … Continue reading High White Sun by J. Todd Scott
Heirs of Jior (Book 3) by Wendy L Anderson
Worth the wait! Those of you who follow this blog or any of my social media know I read – a lot. To be totally honest I actively keep track of just a few authors. Others I keep ½ an eye on but those I regularly check on to see what is coming when – … Continue reading Heirs of Jior (Book 3) by Wendy L Anderson
Lost in Amber by Esther Rabbit
This is a light and easy read – light sci-fi, light romance, a touch of witty banter between characters (one of my favorites!) and a dose of a good storyline. The main characters Zoey and her neighbor who just happens to be an Ambassador (from another planet) are well done and adorable in that trying … Continue reading Lost in Amber by Esther Rabbit
Always Darkest by Jess & Keith Flaherty
My last read of the Book Talk Radio Club Awards is the winner in the Fantasy Genre. Book 1 of the Arbitratus Trilogy had my interest from the first page. Heaven and Hell are competing. With the unique perspective of demons and angels in the modern day, this … Continue reading Always Darkest by Jess & Keith Flaherty
Lovely Chaos: Comedy, Crack and Consciousness My Life in 1980’s New York By Joe Montaperto
Recently I traveled back to my home state of New Jersey and for the trip, I packed this book. It seemed appropriate as the author is a Jersey guy and (aging myself here) the book happens when I also lived in the area the book is set in. Joe, the author, did a fine job … Continue reading Lovely Chaos: Comedy, Crack and Consciousness My Life in 1980’s New York By Joe Montaperto
Nothing But A Song by Keri De Deo
This sweet story is the winner of the Young Adult Fiction award from Book Talk Radio Club. Young Adult is one of those genres that can mean so many different things to the reader. In this case, I would be comfortable with anyone from 13 up through 98 … Continue reading Nothing But A Song by Keri De Deo

This book, the second one in this series, is set in the 1830s in England and France and has all the elements that romance lovers – love! There is plenty of intrigue, picturesque settings, nobility, … Continue reading Midnight Crossing (Midnight Book #2) by Diane Shute
The Custodian Chronicles by Tim Will Hunting
It’s been a while since I gushed about a book – but here I am – gushing all over the place with this one! I had the pleasure (most of the time) of working in the fringes of school systems for almost 20 years. By fringe I mean all the work, none of the benefits … Continue reading The Custodian Chronicles by Tim Will Hunting
