Do you ever have books that you feel like you can’t make a connection to? That is what happened as I began this book. I have an issue with people who are willing to let others control their lives, but as I read more of Jahana’s story, I realized she was doing the best she … Continue reading The Lie: When DNA Reveals the Family Secret by Heather Dawn Gray
Book Review
A Touch of Death (The Outlands Pentalogy) By Rebecca Crunden
This dystopian read is an immersion book. By that, I mean that you need to invest a little time, especially at the beginning, to get an understanding of the characters and their environment before you can become invested in where the story is taking you. Once you accomplish that, the rest of the read is … Continue reading A Touch of Death (The Outlands Pentalogy) By Rebecca Crunden
The Orphan’s Tale by Pam Jenoff
As you know, I rarely read or review traditionally published books. I got tired of the consistently average stories coming from the big publishers. This book has been sitting on my 'to be read' pile for almost 3 years. My mother in law gave it to me. That’s not why I was avoiding it! My … Continue reading The Orphan’s Tale by Pam Jenoff
Iron and the Arrow: Book Four in the Kingdom of Jior Series by Wendy L. Anderson
Having read all of this series, so far (the last book, Five being anxiously anticipated), it is always a joy to return to the land of Jior created by Wendy Anderson. This author has a way of weaving what at the base is a family saga into a love story that crosses all the barriers … Continue reading Iron and the Arrow: Book Four in the Kingdom of Jior Series by Wendy L. Anderson
The Golden Viper – The Crimson Deathbringer Trilogy – Book Two by Sean Robins
A brief four months have passed since the ending of Book One. This book was a nice segway into an all-encompassing battle. The characters have remained intriguing and snarky. Keeping with the Space Opera feel the author still led us into an environment with a lot more variety in creatures, some who are … Continue reading The Golden Viper – The Crimson Deathbringer Trilogy – Book Two by Sean Robins
The Adventures of Brett and Molly By Jeffrey Warren
I enjoyed the first book in this series and looked forward to catching up again with Brett & Molly. This book starts two years later in 1961 as Brett and Molly are finishing high school and preparing for their wedding and start at the university. As they set out with friends on another sailing adventure … Continue reading The Adventures of Brett and Molly By Jeffrey Warren
Moriarty Takes His Medicine (A Professor & Mrs. Moriarty Mystery) by Anna Castle
The second adventure for Professor and Mrs. Moriarty. With a tagline that states, “Behind every master criminal, there’s a brilliant woman with expensive tastes.” How could this book be anything but wonderful? I fell in love with Angelina (Mrs.) in the first book and was thrilled that she once again plays a major role in … Continue reading Moriarty Takes His Medicine (A Professor & Mrs. Moriarty Mystery) by Anna Castle
The Diarrhea Diaries: Trump’s Tweets That Gives Us the Runs by Robert J. Emery
In my professional life I stay apolitical; however when this book crossed my desk I had to read it. A quick book to read, this author has collected and organized tweets posted by President Trump. As someone who stays on the fringe of social media and politics the amount and quality of tweets was surprising. … Continue reading The Diarrhea Diaries: Trump’s Tweets That Gives Us the Runs by Robert J. Emery
OCAAT Book Two by Ruthie Robinson
I have patiently been waiting (2 years!) for the conclusion to this story and it was definitely worth the wait! Two of my favorite characters and half-sisters Sydney and Shelby are back. They have matured and become strong women who are trying to find their way. Ruthie Robinson has a way of telling an intense, … Continue reading OCAAT Book Two by Ruthie Robinson
