Being a recent transplant to the south (arrived 30 years ago) I enjoyed the look into Southern Culture that this book gives both from 1932 and 1972. The book covers two murders, 40 years apart. Bead Baker in 1932 and her granddaughter Little Mary in 1972 – both women have been severally beaten. There is … Continue reading Gone On Sunday – A Cotton Lee Penn Historical Mystery by Tower Lowe

Of Demon Kind by Wendy L. Anderson
As with most Fantasy reads this book takes a little time setting up the story line and the characters but it definitely helps the reader as the story quickly moves along. The main character, Prince Lorn, after years of wallowing, is accused of kidnapping a Princess and wreaking havoc in the country. His pursuit to … Continue reading Of Demon Kind by Wendy L. Anderson
The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do about It by Warren Farrell, PhD
The issue of the Boy Crisis has been on my radar for a couple of years now. I have read a couple of books over the last two years but this book goes a little more in depth into recent studies being done and the fact that our boys/men are being left behind. The book … Continue reading The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do about It by Warren Farrell, PhD
Three-Fingered Jack Davis by D. J. Swykert
This is a story of drugs, dealers, users and the world that surrounds them. While I expected a gritty, dark and dreary story this book has some positive light elements going through it. The main character Jesse is a washed up 30 year old going nowhere fast. However when he meets Jack Davis (recently having … Continue reading Three-Fingered Jack Davis by D. J. Swykert
A Cold Blooded Rain by T. R. Leton
I am a Sam Spade fan and when I saw this book – I knew I wanted to read it. The author sent me a link to his website and an intriguing book trailer video. Watch it HERE. I couldn’t get it on my kindle fast enough. Immediately the story lulled me into the comfortable … Continue reading A Cold Blooded Rain by T. R. Leton
It’ll Feel Better When It Quits Hurting (Okay Picture This ……) by Lisa Orban
I read this book because I had read and loved another book by this author; I’d Rather Starve Than Cook. I really enjoyed that book and frankly it hit close to home for me as cooking is not my favorite activity. However, this book is very different. This is a memoir. There were chapters I … Continue reading It’ll Feel Better When It Quits Hurting (Okay Picture This ……) by Lisa Orban
Sylvie Writes a Romance by Melissa Burovac
This was a cute and funny book. I laughed out loud at the mess that poor Sylvie gets into as she tries on line dating just for some experience to use in a romance she wants to write. The various dates and all that were involved with her trying to be sexy was very funny. … Continue reading Sylvie Writes a Romance by Melissa Burovac
Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton
This book was published posthumously by the author’s wife. Some reviewers have called it a prequel or basis for his later works such as Jurassic Park. I have to admit that I was not a huge reader of Crichton’s books. I had read some of his earlier books but once Jurassic Park appeared in the … Continue reading Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton
Plum Tea Crazy (A Tea Shop Mystery #19) by Laura Childs
I devoured the first 6 in this series and then somehow lost track of the author. It was a pleasant surprise to see this one appear on my Netgalley account. Being a tea drinker in a coffee world and having a strong affection for cozy mysteries is what first attracted me to this series. The … Continue reading Plum Tea Crazy (A Tea Shop Mystery #19) by Laura Childs
Educated by Tara Westover
A heart wrenching memoir. The description for this book said “in the tradition of The Glass Castle” and while that is true on the basic level, it is so much more. This is the story of a young woman’s life and eventual triumph over her background and the way she was raised. When I started … Continue reading Educated by Tara Westover
