While I enjoy what I perceive to be good fantasy stories, it is not my go-to genre. When I read books like this one, I wonder if it’s the genre or me. I could see glimpses of a good plot and characters, but then they would disappear only to reappear later in the book. Maybe … Continue reading Gems of the Druid by Bradley James Simpson

The Day Gravity Became Irrelevant by Ralph Rotten
A few years ago I met this author at the Tucson Festival of Books and picked up the first book in his Calizona series. I loved the irony, sarcasm, and banter between his characters. So, when I saw he was offering this book as a one-day freebie – I jumped. Once again he showed me … Continue reading The Day Gravity Became Irrelevant by Ralph Rotten
Review of the Texas Library Association Conference
Today, I have something a little different for you. This is an indirect book review. For the last 12 years, I have attended the Texas Library Conference.

When I saw that it was over 600 pages, I confess I was happy – sometimes I like totally disappearing into a book and I … Continue reading Crossing Lex by Debby Caruso

Having read the first two books by the author, I could not wait for this, his third. Once again he is able to take his reader into another world. The Ordinary Monster shows the ripples that can occur for decades commencing at a single act of violence. Readers with an open mind will enjoy the … Continue reading The Ordinary Monster by Mario Kiefer
The Goodall Mutiny by Gretchen Rix
This book is the first in a Space Opera series. This author writes a cozy mystery series I enjoy so when I saw her name I wanted to give this a read. To be completely honest I have very little experience with Space Operas - this is only my 3rd book. I am still not … Continue reading The Goodall Mutiny by Gretchen Rix
