This is a physically heavy book but not a heavy read. For a non-fiction book, the author lightly covers the earliest era of humans, including Neanderthals, Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. I was hoping for more information before a time when Homo sapiens had a cognitive revolution and populated the globe. The author presents ideas … Continue reading Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari

YA at its’ truest, meaning not young teens but this will appeal to the New Adult 16-20 year old market as well as those of us a little older. This is a well written and presented story of a futuristic virtual reality. When one of the main characters is dying, her brain, memories, feelings etc … Continue reading Aaru by David Meredith
Justifiable Homicide by Jeffrey Warren
I had the pleasure of meeting this author at the Tucson Book Festival. He greeted me by saying he had all 5 star reviews. So, the cynic in me came out. I rarely give 5 stars. In my eyes that’s perfect or pretty darn close and new Indie Authors writing 5 star books are rare. … Continue reading Justifiable Homicide by Jeffrey Warren

Gone On Sunday – A Cotton Lee Penn Historical Mystery by Tower Lowe
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

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

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
