When an author you love, J. Todd Scott, recommends a book that you just got – it gets moved up in the reading pile. That was this book, and he was right. This mind bending story of a False Memory Syndrome had me pushing the limits on my self imposed reading limit over vacation. (Because … Continue reading Recursion by Blake Crouch
Book Review
The Editor by Steven Rowley
While packing my books for vacation, I came across the Advanced Reader Copy of The Editor that I had received at the Texas Library Conference in April. What an appropriate book for this Indie Editor to take on a car trip to the Indie Book Fest in Orlando! Because of commitments and driving, I was … Continue reading The Editor by Steven Rowley
Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton
I received an ARC (Advanced Reading Copy) of this book at the Texas Library Conference. Last week I started to see a lot of buzz and reviews and pulled it from my extensive to be read shelf. I’m glad I did. This unique story is told from the perspective of a crow – I’m serious … Continue reading Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton
Substitute Soloist – An Andy Veracruz Mystery Book 4 by D. R. Ransdell
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
