Love, Rosie
Love, Rosie

Review:This book is about two friends, Alex and Rosie. They meet as little kids corresponding through notes, and it follows them until middle age through their correspondence. So the book is unique in that it is told entirely through the letters, e-mails, cards, text messages, ect. Rosie and the few people in her life. Alex and Rosie can't seems to be on the same page in life at the same time. Alex moves to the United States, the rest of the book is based in Ireland, the two remain close friends throug...

The Sunshine Sisters
The Sunshine Sisters

Review:I gave this book three stars (two stars now - see update below) because I don't dislike it but I also don't really like it that much. I think the character development of the three sisters (I like Lizzy's story line the best) earned it three instead of two. There seems to be a lot of filler in the story so I find myself skimming over parts of it. I am at page 295 and will finish it but I don't anticipate that I will like the book any better at that point. Like other reviewers, I feel the book ... Read more

Hello, Sunshine: A Novel

Review:Mini Review: Hello, Sunshine: Laura Dave
Love the documented fall from grace. Sunshine was a loveable character and I adored her relationship with Sammy. Although things did not go her way, I respected her determination to find herself and face her past. Dave filtered the perfect amount of humor, surprise and endurance into this novel.
Just released yesterday- go grab it! #highlyrecommend #feelgoodstory #socialmediaisthedevil #bookbloggerperks #netgalleyreview #hellosunshine @lauradaveauth... Read more

Firebird: he lived for the sunshine
Firebird: he lived for the sunshine

Review:I read some summaries or reviews about how this book taught kids about the promise of God or something like that with the flight path of this little bird. Well, I sure didn't see it. There is some very brief sentence about pondering about Gods promise, but that's all. The book has nice pictures, a few words per page and then this expensive book is over before you realize it. Maybe for 2 year olds that are impressed by every thing on one picture or two. If your child is 4 or older....this is... Read more

Book One (The Haunting of Sunshine Girl Series) - The Haunting of Sunshine Girl
Book One (The Haunting of Sunshine Girl Series) - The Haunting of Sunshine Girl

Review:The Haunting of Sunshine Girl is what I would call a fluffy horror book. Aimed at younger readers, it would be the perfect balance of horror and humour.

I love creepy books that will scare me, and while I didn’t find this one to be particularly creepy, there were a few moments that surprised me, with paranormal twists that I didn’t expect. Going into Sunshine Girl, I knew it was going to be about a girl at a haunted house, but the luisearches who banish ghosts made it really unique.

The Diary of Nancy Grace 2
The Diary of Nancy Grace 2

Review:This short story did hold my attention. I would have liked to hear more about Martha's recovery and beauty's life after Nancy's departure. I pray for the children of abuse. I gave it 3 stars bc there were a few words / phrases that were seemingly not correct grammar (deaf trap). Read more

The Midamerica Zombie Half-Breed Experiment (Plagued States of America Book 1)

Review::The Midamerica Zombie Half-Breed Experiment. ( Book 1) looks to be an interesting tale. I I chose it because it wasn't to long, in case it was a bit boring. It wasn't..I think it's going to be a good series, as it is somewhat different than a lot I have previously read GOOD LUCK and ENJOY! Read more

A Brief History of Seven Killings: A Novel
A Brief History of Seven Killings: A Novel

Review:This novel is sweeping in its scope, telling the story of the violence in Jamaican politics, the death of Bob Marley and the rise of the Jamaican drug posses, all revealed in spurts and starts through the eyes of a disparate series of characters who come and go but who all leave an indelible mark on the novel. A history lesson told by an engaging ensemble cast on all sides of the crisis, from the jaded CIA operatives to the killers and the politicians that turned Jamaica into a bloodbath in the ...

The Yellow Birds: A Novel
The Yellow Birds: A Novel

Review:This book captivated me from beginning to end. It gave me a new perspective on the dissonance that resides within the heart and souls of many who have survived an experience such as serving in Afghanistan and then return to their previous lives. I think twice before saying to any vet, "Thank you for your service." Read more

The Thorn Birds

Review:Frustratingly good at times / the webs one weaves for themselves through pride and greed and not communicating! But in the end. The mourning isn't for the characters it's for their lack of foresight in the what could have Been's Read more
