While the summary of this book says fast paced I found it to be more of a meandering through various characters and their interpersonal relationships. The story follows several woman and a few men as they weave in and out of each other's lives as well as from current day back into their pasts. While … Continue reading Poets, Artists, Lovers by Mira Tudor

Always With You by Hannah Ellis
I am bouncing with joy to be participating in a BLOG TOUR hosted by Lola! I was so worried about doing this because you all know my rule - If I don't read it - I don't review it! Signing up to be part of a tour puts the pressure on - what if I … Continue reading Always With You by Hannah Ellis
Lost Luggage by Wendall Thomas
This is labeled as a cozy mystery but really I think Zany is a better description. This was enjoyment from the first page and all the way through. The main character Cyd works in a travel agency run by her family and through hard work and sneaking around she has managed a trip to Atlantic … Continue reading Lost Luggage by Wendall Thomas
The Splendid Baron Submarine by Eric Bower (Book #2 Bizarre Baron Inventions)
This is the second book in a series - but is perfect as a standalone too. I read the first book in the fall and have recommended it to anyone who would listen that had readers in 3rd grade through middle school. W.B. is living in a time of horse drawn carriages but with parents … Continue reading The Splendid Baron Submarine by Eric Bower (Book #2 Bizarre Baron Inventions)

That is the scenario explored in this creative book. The author, a local Texan, has taken what is a concern of many … Continue reading Theater District by Tim Wolter
It’s News To Me by Olga Campos Benz
This author is a local celebrity and a familiar face to most people in Austin. I purchased this self published book a few months ago and it finally made its way to the top of my reading pile. The book follows one woman, a reporter and anchor in (guess where!) Austin Texas and her story … Continue reading It’s News To Me by Olga Campos Benz
The End of the World Running Club by Adrian J. Walker
Described as a post-apocalyptic thriller, I was surprised to be pulled into the fast paced (no pun intended - I know that is was partially about long distance running) story. What would normal people do to survive and how would they do it? When the world ends - mostly - Edgar and his family are … Continue reading The End of the World Running Club by Adrian J. Walker
Two Books – One Review – Life Purpose & The Dear God Letters – both by Claire H. Perkins

I thought they would be quick reads but I found myself stopping, thinking and even discussing the pages as I was reading. (Even got … Continue reading Two Books – One Review – Life Purpose & The Dear God Letters – both by Claire H. Perkins
