Having recently finished the third in this series I happily jumped into #4. I have read this whole series, and while the first three were somewhere slightly above a Cozy in the mystery department, this book is solidly in the Mystery genre. The author has added a lot of depth to not only the main … Continue reading Substitute Soloist – An Andy Veracruz Mystery Book 4 by D. R. Ransdell

Diary of a Single Wedding Planner (Tales Behind the Veils Book 1) By Violet Howe
Next week I will be attending the Indie Book Fest in Orlando (I know hot, humid, etc – I’m from Texas – it’s a normal day). This sponsoring author offered her book for free CLICK HERE TO GET YOUR FREE NOOK or (CLICK HERE FOR A FREE FROM THAT A PLACE) to read before meeting her … Continue reading Diary of a Single Wedding Planner (Tales Behind the Veils Book 1) By Violet Howe
Death Comes In Threes (Addie Foster Mystery Series #1) By Kimberley O’Malley
You have probably realized by this point that my favorite escape reads are Cozy Mysteries. This one has the right amount of good solid characters, extra interest (in this case two dogs and two great Aunts) and a decent Mystery. Also what I love is when a series book has an ending yet leaves you … Continue reading Death Comes In Threes (Addie Foster Mystery Series #1) By Kimberley O’Malley
Saving Thandi (Adventures of Jabu & Friends) Book 2 by Kate S Richards
I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this middle school adventure and could not wait to see where Jabu would lead us next. A nice surprise was the return of the character Ice, who added a lot more depth to the attitude of the other characters. This is a series that I have now recommended … Continue reading Saving Thandi (Adventures of Jabu & Friends) Book 2 by Kate S Richards
Dizzy In Durango: An Andy Veracruz Mystery #3 by D. R. Ransdell
I met this author a couple of years ago at the Tucson Festival of Books – her smile pulled me to the booth, but her main character, Andy keeps me coming back for more reads. It’s been a while since I read a book in one day. Yesterday was a rare day off for me, … Continue reading Dizzy In Durango: An Andy Veracruz Mystery #3 by D. R. Ransdell
Kau D’varza: A story in the ChaosNova universe By Dave Noe
After reading a book I usually check the reviews. With this book, a reviewer commented that they felt like a fly on the wall. That was a very accurate description. The scenes from the various ships and during battles made me feel like I was there. The quick dialogue between characters also helps with the … Continue reading Kau D’varza: A story in the ChaosNova universe By Dave Noe
Dark Winds: Shadow’s Fire Book 2 (Shadow’s Fire Trilogy) by Christopher Patterson
I love book series, especially when I can read several in a similar time period. Having read Book One – Chance Beginning - last month, I snuck Book 2 into my reading schedule because when you work for yourself, you can do these things! The book picks up almost immediately after where the author left … Continue reading Dark Winds: Shadow’s Fire Book 2 (Shadow’s Fire Trilogy) by Christopher Patterson
The Map of the World by Zev Good
I believe that story collections are the hardest to review. But this collection makes it easy. When I started this book, I put something on Twitter, and the author responded that HAD was his favorite in the collection. And while that was very good, my favorite was Somebody’s Always Saying Goodbye. While the main character … Continue reading The Map of the World by Zev Good
Rise of Villains (The Anuk Chronicles Book 2) by Abdur R. Mohammed
While this is the second book in this series, it does well as a stand-alone. This is an intense read with a lot going on, so bring your A-Game reading skills. There is a jump back in time about a third of the way into the book that gave some great information and clarified a … Continue reading Rise of Villains (The Anuk Chronicles Book 2) by Abdur R. Mohammed
Old Fart Advice by Michael J. Tate
My life has been filled with Old Farts giving advice. I was raised by a dad that loved to give OFA (Old Fart Advice), married a man who dispenses his OFA to any audience, and I also gave birth to an old soul young man who now shares all kinds of OFAs with the high … Continue reading Old Fart Advice by Michael J.
