Thank you to those that sent notes asking about me. Most of you have seen from my various social media posts that I am recovering from emergency neck surgery. Sounds like I’d have a lot of time to read, and I do, but I read SLOW. I mean, painfully crazy slow. The meds really mess [...]
Is more of the same always a bad thing? Definitely not! Following along with the classic style of Cows Can’t Jump, Cows Can’t Quack picks up where the last book left off. Preschoolers will love both the simple, easy to understand sentences and the colorful pictures. Parents will love the message embedded: we are all [...]
A little over a year ago, I read a wonderful book by this author called How I Learned to Love the Walrus, so when the author asked if I wanted to read her newest one, Disengaged, I immediately said yes. I fully realize it’s not fair to compare the two books, but it’s difficult not [...]
When this book came to me from the author with a request of review I thought he must be brave. A quick look through my reviews and you’ll notice that while I love short stories, I also hate when they are done badly. Let’s face it, most are done very badly. It’s not enough words [...]
A friend of mine suggested this book to me after learning I’d been on a fitness journey for the past 9 months. I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’ve gotten in a shape that is a little less “round” and I still have a long ways to go. I was looking forward to reading this [...]
I am a huge fan of this author. I read Gods In Alabama not too long after it came out after a suggestion from a friend and I’ve been following her work since. She’s known for her sassy Southern fiction. In that regard, this book does not disappoint. There’s quite a bit of Rose May [...]
I was provided a copy of this book and asked to review it. Because it was such a unique topic and one I was very interested in, I read it pretty quickly. I didn’t know a whole lot about aneurysms but from what I knew of them, I thought they were pretty much debilitating and [...]
One of my friends chose this for our bookclub book. I will be the first to admit that I was skeptical. I love her dearly (she’s my BFF), but she notoriously picks books that make me want to stick a spoon through my eye. I will also be honest and say that the cover art [...]
I got this book in for review last year and it kind of sat in the back of my head to read. I liked the description and it looked to be something right up my alley. I ran across it again and decided to finally give it a shot. WHY did it take me so [...]
I’m a huge fan of time travel. In a lot of time travel stories you get a glimpse of a believable future, and a reminder (or a lesson) on times long past. In “Blackout” the future seems a lot like the past. The way the characters talk and act remind me more of the late [...]
