Star Wars: Darth Maul - Son of Dathomir
Star Wars: Darth Maul - Son of Dathomir

Review:Overall I have loved all things New Canon that Disney has done with the Star Wars universe, but this series is just bad. I love Darth Maul, he is one of the best parts of the prequel trilogy but in my opinion he should have stayed dead. One of the problems that I had with the old Canon was how characters, like the Emperor got brought back to life via cloning or another method. This to me cheapens the world that has been created, it lessens the stakes. That is one reason people love Game of Thron... Read more

The Jedi Path and Book of Sith Deluxe Box Set - Star Wars®
The Jedi Path and Book of Sith Deluxe Box Set - Star Wars®

Review:Purchased for a young relative who is a avid Star Wars fan-- while he admitted he can't read it easily quite yet, he's really excited about the "handwritten" additions to the book by famous Jedi and Sith characters. It's a very well-made set and seems like the sort of thing that can be read over and over again without being dull. I also think the fact that his uncle and father almost immediately took possession of the books and started reading them = good sign. Read more

Star Wars Trilogy
Star Wars Trilogy

Review:The story is familiar to everyone who has seen the movies. If you are hoping for addition details not in the movies you will be disappointed. There is nothing new or expansive. Too bad. This is a lazy reproduction of the script in novel form. Don't waste your time. Read more

The Force Awakens (Star Wars)
The Force Awakens (Star Wars)

Review:You've probably been wondering what people mean when they say some things were added. Was it entire scenes? Additional dialogue? Both. It does help explain some things I was a bit confused about. It almost replays the movie in my head, but that's almost because of everything added. That's not as vivid. Read more

Girl in Translation
Girl in Translation

Review:GIRL IN TRANSLATION, a book i purchased from amazon opened my eyes to the plight of many imigrants, in debt for their passage to the u.s and extremely hard working though their salaries seldom show their efforts. The characters in this book mimic the experiences of the author and her family. It shows what determination and caring can accomplish. Read more

Tomorrow There Will be Apricots
Tomorrow There Will be Apricots

Review:I loved this book!! Jessica Soffer wrote these characters so well, that I was completely committed to them right away. I loved how vulnerable they were and so unsure of themselves until they found each other. The story was sad and sweet and beautiful. A story of love and redemption for sure! Can't wait to see what else Jessica Soffer has to offer in the future! Read more

Let the Dead Sleep (Cafferty & Quinn)

Review:I always like Heather Graham's stories and style of writing. The characters are likable, if not a bit predictable. If you're looking for a quick entertaining story- look no further! Let the Dead Sleep was a good, solid story! Read more

The Night Is Watching (Krewe of Hunters)

Review:I really enjoyed this story. The story did not drag and there always seemed something was happening. As in most stories you are surprised with who the bad guys turn out to be. I have enjoyed all of HEATHER GRAHAM 's books especially the Krewe of Hunter series. Read more

Waking the Dead (Cafferty & Quinn)
Waking the Dead (Cafferty & Quinn)

Review:REVIEWED BY LIZ (originally posted on Kindles & Wine Book Blog)

WAKING THE DEAD was seriously creepy! I was hoping for a mix of romance and thriller, and wow, it delivered on the thriller part. The mystery/thriller aspects of the book were out of this world, and the paranormal part - a painting that seemed to be haunted - was crazy scary! I really felt a lot of dread every time the author mentioned the sun going down since bad things were happening at night. The reason behind HOW the ... Read more
