Foam on the Crest of Waves by Silke Stein
I have been reading some good stories lately, but this book reminded me what reading a truly wonderful story feels like. It was a pleasure to rate this one 5 stars. Have you ever wandered a trail and around each curve found something new, interesting or beautiful? That was this book. The characters (even the … Continue reading Foam on the Crest of Waves by Silke Stein
Thriving Not Surviving: The 5 Secret Pathways To Happiness, Success and Fulfilment by Gina Gardiner
This book won Best in Self-Help/Inspirational, and after reading it, I can understand why. Using her own story as a base, the author easily leads you along the pathways that she richly describes and illuminates. While many self-help books tend to tell you how easy a change can be, this author has a much more … Continue reading Thriving Not Surviving: The 5 Secret Pathways To Happiness, Success and Fulfilment by Gina Gardiner
Trails Southwest in the Southwest Trails Series – Parts 1 & 2 by Diane M. Cece
Wandering around the Texas Book Festival, I came to a booth with Indie Authors from all over the country. Even New Jersey? Well, when I heard that, this Jersey Girl had to meet the author. Diane ended up being all the good things I love about Jersey Girls – straight shooting from the hip kind … Continue reading Trails Southwest in the Southwest Trails Series – Parts 1 & 2 by Diane M. Cece
Discovering Witchetty Waters by Trisha J. Kelly
Here is the winner of the Book Talk Radio Club Best in Children's Books. Did you or your kids love Magic Tree House? If so as middle schoolers they will love this more mature series in that theme. With time travel, special creatures, magic and a glimpse of Aliens it has the potential to take … Continue reading Discovering Witchetty Waters by Trisha J. Kelly
The Mage-Lord’s Legacy (The Constellation Saga, #2) by Kay MacLeod
I’m very glad I invested the time to read the first book in this series as it laid a perfect platform for diving off of and into this story. This was a wonderful continuation of the Constellation’s story. The book picks up with Kitty and her “team” trying to get more Urns – but the … Continue reading The Mage-Lord’s Legacy (The Constellation Saga, #2) by Kay MacLeod
Midnight Black – The Purge by R. J. Eastwood
I chose this book to end my year. Not because of closure but because of what I hope will lead to more great reads from this author in the coming year. A large portion of this quick paced book takes place in the main character’s mind. This unique perspective gives the reader insight that would … Continue reading Midnight Black – The Purge by R. J. Eastwood
Trespass by Chris Miller
Having read another book by this author (CLICK HERE) I was curious when this novella came across my radar. While this book did not have the scare of the last one it did have something that may be even more nerve-wracking. This is an intense read of basically one event that happens over an afternoon … Continue reading Trespass by Chris Miller
Ice On the Bay (#3 Howard County Mysteries) By Dale E. & Kathleen Lehman
This is the third in this series and the third book I have read by these authors. You see some of the books I read each month, but you don’t see the 6 or so that never make it to a blog or the ones I am proofreading or editing. So, if I keep … Continue reading Ice On the Bay (#3 Howard County Mysteries) By Dale E. & Kathleen Lehman
Valbore Tasks of the Nakairi Book 1 by K. E. Young
While average in size this book starts out reading like the intense tomes of over 1,000 pages (It’s only about 330!). The characters and locations are rich in the feel of well-done fantasy, and those great Dragon themed books that can place you into the story. At its core, this is a story of inner … Continue reading Valbore Tasks of the Nakairi Book 1 by K. E. Young
