The author starts this book with a disclaimer that if you are a happy person this may not be the best book for you. I am a happy person – 90% of the time – but I kept reading and I am glad I did. This compact book packs a lot in and gives you … Continue reading Happier Thinking by Lana Grace Riva

True Death (Howard County Mysteries #2) by Dale E. Lehman
This book picks up shortly after the first in the series ends. Familiar characters are back but in this book the author gives us a better understanding of Montufar & Dumas and their backgrounds. We also get a glimpse into the life of Peller and his wife. I really enjoyed the side plot of the … Continue reading True Death (Howard County Mysteries #2) by Dale E. Lehman
The Autopsy of Planet Earth by R. J. Eastwood
I had read the summary of this book and so was a little surprised at the “normal”ness of the beginning of this book. It sets up like any book until the main character, Gabriel meets the alien and the alien came from left field. I don’t want to give too much away but the … Continue reading The Autopsy of Planet Earth by R. J. Eastwood

Merry Hanukkah by Debby Caruso
I rarely read at the gym but that’s where I started reading this book. Big mistake – 30 minutes on the treadmill and I forgot to increase the speed. So, I switched to the bikes – another 20 minutes but no increase in speed or resistance. I was enjoying the book so much I passed … Continue reading Merry Hanukkah by Debby Caruso
The Sweet Scent of Murder (#2) by Susan P. Baker
This wonderful cozy is set in the first city I lived in Texas – Houston. I loved Houston (I know what you are thinking – why? But really I moved there in January when the state I left was covered in snow and it was 80 degrees in Houston. Plus I made some incredible friends … Continue reading The Sweet Scent of Murder (#2) by Susan P. Baker
Three Lessons In Seduction by Sofie Darling
This book was a bit of a conundrum for me. Conundrums: Enigmatical conceits from A Classical dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. Each chapter in this book starts with a word and definition from that dictionary. When I first started the book I could not get into it. I spent the first few chapters trying to … Continue reading Three Lessons In Seduction by Sofie Darling
The Dark Tides (Book 2) by Mark Piggott
I choose books to read for a variety of reasons. In my quest to be totally honest I said yes to reading this book solely because the author asked and when I read his bio I found out we were born in the same town in New Jersey! That small world moment gave me a … Continue reading The Dark Tides (Book 2) by Mark Piggott
A Little Sin by Sionnach Wintergreen
This novella is the perfect combination of story, characters and history. It is a male/male romance and has a few steamy scenes that enhance but not detract from the mystery in this small Texas town in the 1920’s. The book opens to the hanging of the local doctor and the sheriff is left without a … Continue reading A Little Sin by Sionnach Wintergreen
