The Truth We Bury: A Novel
The Truth We Bury: A Novel

Review:I think this book deserves more than 5 stars. This is the 3 rd book by this author I have read in the past WK or so and by far the most spellbinding. The story is well written and has the ability to give you the feeling you are right there. A suggestion to continue the story of Lily &Edward and Dru and Rod.........bravo Read more

Night's Honor (Elder Races Book 7)

Review:I really like the Elder Books. I enjoy the strong yet flawed characters, the verbal sparring, the funny parts, the touching parts. This one was a bit...boring. I actually read it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. The build up to the Bad Guy Confrontation seemed to go poof rather than bang. Xavier seemed almost too perfect and patient. I kept waiting for him to show some strong emotion outside the tepid descriptions. I am looking forward to the next book since the lead characters ... Read more

Lord's Fall (Elder Races)

Review:The first book in this series was well written she pulled you in to the store. The rest after was not as good to much strife between the main character and his sentinels but this book was as good as the first one glad I bought it. Read more

Storm's Heart (Elder Races Book 2)

Review:4.5 Stars... Loved, loved, loved this story from start to finish... Niniane and Tiago were a great mix of sweet, sassy, and sexy; their chemistry was off the charts, but I enjoyed their witty banter, humor, and tender moments that provided substance to their connection... A strong storyline steeped in political intrigue and betrayal provided an interesting framework in which the story to evolved... Dynamic secondary characters lent themselves to the complexity of the storyline and created an int... Read more

A Short Story of the Elder Races - Peanut Goes To School

Review:Peanut goes to school was good - the interaction with the other characters in the story were good. We know he is a Mommy's boy right now - but would like to see more interaction between him and his father - maybe even in dragon form. Read more

Serpent's Kiss (Elder Races Book 3)

Review:Absolutely my favorite of the books so far. We have a women who yes does let her guard down...to let her “feelings” show more and more. Well after thousands of years it’s about time for her. I love the fact that she is strong and still vulnerable. And let’s just say Rune is just amazing. Yes they mate hard, but at least in this one you don’t have a women who is constantly woe is me the whole book. Glad to see this. And yes a whole lot of landscape description etc. But for me it was needed and I ... Read more

Oracle's Moon (Elder Races Book 4)

Review:I love these characters. this family you could say.
they watch out for each other the closeness and even misunderstanding between them doesn't over rule the love
and trust that runs threw their veins.
And the sex is hot and steamy , and sometimes I have to reread those parts.
haha- to make sure I didn't mistake something Read more

I Was Told There'd Be Cake: Essays
I Was Told There'd Be Cake: Essays

Review:My grandson ordered it which shows why the Kindle should not have order possibilities on the first screen. Young kids can get to it and it is easy to slide to order. We never would have but did not discover it until I got the email saying I had ordered it. Read more

The Argonauts
The Argonauts

Review:Even swaddled in turgid academic jargon, a tedious childbirth story is still a tedious childbirth story, and a “fluidly gendered” love story is still just a bourgeois romance. Citing all the equally jargon-loving academics and writers that you know or cribbed from doesn’t make you look smarter, just more derivative. Memoir need not devolve, as this one does, into mind-numbing solipsism—coincidentally, I was reading “The Beautiful Struggle” at the same time as I read “The Argonauts,” and Nelson w... Read more

Crossing to Safety (Penguin Modern Classics)

Review:I looked forward to reading each time I thought of this book. The author's descriptions just captured me and I'm not really sure why. I think some of his characters experiences were similar to mine since part of this book takes place in Madison but it was more than that. Wonderful writing, I really loved it! Read more
