I saw this book at a book festival. I walked by it but something about the cover called me back. I picked it up and met the author (used to be teacher now librarian – ok that alone sold me!) and he told me how many times his poor niece had to run back and … Continue reading The Vacant Space by Jaime Perez
Book Review
Midnight to Morning by H. Glogau-Morgan
It has been a while since I felt that a book might have a decent story but was not for me. This is a long and involved book. It is not helped by the fact that the main character changes names and those she deals with have proper names that are similar and nicknames that … Continue reading Midnight to Morning by H. Glogau-Morgan

Each living on the edge of their worlds but finding some peace with each other. In this book, the characters have really come into their own. … Continue reading The Mercer Street Murders: A Bennett & DeMarko Mystery by Aaron S Gallagher
Salvageable by Jean Baxter
This book brought back all the angst of being a teen or when my children were teens. The frustration of dealing as a “grown” kid but not having reached the maturity to match their adult size was well presented in this book. This is a true to life coming of age story. Mike is the … Continue reading Salvageable by Jean Baxter
Pops Fatherhood in Pieces by Michael Chabon
Spending years as a librarian at a preschool, I had a few go-to books. This author’s The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man was and is one of my favorites. It was read aloud frequently in my library and suggested constantly. I even joked that I should be earning royalty on the number of copies I … Continue reading Pops Fatherhood in Pieces by Michael Chabon
An Enlightening Quiche by Eva Pasco
This book took me a little time to get pulled into the story. I think it was because of the unique writing style. Instead of the recent adaptation of least amount of words to convey a thought – this author expands and enriches each sentence with adorning words to decorate the thought. However, once I … Continue reading An Enlightening Quiche by Eva Pasco
