Typical Lisa Gardner wit and sarcasm. Love it. I
can’t think of any other author of crime novels who
could have me smiling and possibly laughing aloud while
conveying the story about a missing family of six. And
let’s not forget the dog named Dog Read more...
The title itself suggests a kind of oxymoronic sense to
this story, which features one of the most unsettling
characters. Clare’s life seems filled with unexplored
and unexplained out-of-body experiences. You almost wish to
feel empathy for her, but for some reason that is a Read more...
You know I had taken a short break from my ever-consuming
relationship with Carolyn Brown. I had practically caught up
with this consummate literary entertainer and her awesome
stories. Have been a fan since, well, forever.
When I started reading UNTIL IT GETS REAL, I quickly Read more...
So many things to think about, mull over, digest –
if you will – and then wind up comparing with your own
life. Perhaps that is what Virginia Evans had in mind while
writing THE CORRESPONDENT and creating Sybil. Sybil is an
incredibly unique character, or is she? That Read more...
Welcome back to Star Falls. There’s a sort of
legend that you will meet the love of your life if you see
the falling stars. Of course, only romantics will see this
as relevant. So it’s funny, those who have truly sworn
off anything romantic Read more...
First of all, I have to wonder if it is possible to find
something in a novel about brutal murders performed by
seemingly normal characters that is humorous. Does that make
me a strange person? Oh well. We all have our faults.
Personally, I enjoy humor even if at Read more...
Chapter by chapter foray into a journey of recapturing a
life that had been nearly discarded by events that shook
some characters to their bones. Each chapter brings you
along this journey into rediscovery and reconnection. In
short, pure delight and pure RaeAnne Thayne.
Welcome back to Hobby Island. Land where goodness flows,
and the folk that visit are summoned by a golden ticket.
This is the second of Lori Wildes series Hobby Island, so
some may recognize the core group of inhabitants. It’s
not really an island based on fantasy Read more...
Crime novel at its creepiest best. Mary Kubica has us on
a chase against time. Two folks brutally murdered. Seemingly
with no clues. No motive. No suspect. Couldn’t be
further in the dark if you tried. But here’s the
thing: there are some clues. You Read more...

THE BOOK CLUB FOR TROUBLESOME WOMEN by Marie Bostwick is
a sort of a historical view of an eye-opening time, mixed
with humorous moments that remind you this is a novel. I
love a book that is somehow reminiscent of some part
of my own life. The Read more...
Hard to find a favorite book or story authored by Brenda
Novak. Her list of titles reminds us just how many times we
think that it was the best. I adored WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES
and was equally enthralled by her Dead trilogy. Uniquely
different genres and slants. Which is Read more...
Having not read but watched the Apple series of the first
book in this series, I was accustomed to holding my breath.
The first book, THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME, was nonstop
action practically from the start. I won’t disclose
much about THE LAST THING HE Read more...
CHASING DREAMS has three stories between the covers, told
by the inimitable Carolyn Brown. Characters are the
lifeblood of this author. Her fans are insurmountable, and I
definitely count myself as one. Humor, sass, and wittiness
are central. In CHASING DREAMS, there is a central theme of
sorts. Just Read more...
Family drama, generational stories, missed opportunities, robberies, all rolled into one big tale between two covers by Sharon Sala. Page by page and chapter by chapter, MIDNIGHT brings the reader further into a complicated affair of individual experiences. We get to meet some amazing characters that hopefully evolve over Read more...
Once again, be prepared to be astonished by the originality and talent of definitely one of my favorite authors, Kelly Rimmer. THE STORY KEEPER, you see, winds up being a story within a story. Kind of like two books between one cover. So be ready to enjoy two for Read more...
No pun intended but PITCHER PERFECT is a perfect example of friendship, fellowship, joy, commitment, competition, love and more. Truly Tessa Bailey outdid herself with the characters she created for PITCHER PERFECT. And for fans that is saying a lot.
So we have two pretty amazing athletes Read more...
Okay I'm hooked - definitely have three more books to add to my must read list. Dogs love us unconditionally - you can't really say that about anyone or anything else. My Maxwell will always have a special place in our hearts along with our Coco and Shani. Now we have a rescue grand doggie Annie who loves her little girl sooo much.
