The Book of Moon
The Book of Moon

Review:I laughed until I cried at Moon's irreverent views; I cried until I laughed at Moon's irreligious circumstances. What a wonderful story of the love of family through heartache. The never-ending quest to fill God-shaped holes in the characters' souls, even while tempted to blame God for their woes, should resonate with all readers. Read more

The Kurdish Bike: A Novel
The Kurdish Bike: A Novel

Review:I received this book as a gift and dove right in. It's one of those novels that feels intensely personal as soon as you pick it up. The characters are full of life and the Kurdish women are comforting with their strength, wisdom and humor. The tragedy that continues to plague this region in the world makes my heart ache for all displaced people who only want a peaceful life and a safe place for their families. Yet there is hope in the powerful human spirit shown by the actions of the local peopl... Read more

Whispering Pines (Celia's Gifts Book 1)

Review:This book was very relevant to me since I lost my job after 23 years at the same company. I too was shocked and looking for a way to reinvent myself. Like Renee I can no longer trust that corporate America is where I want to be. I wish I had an Aunt Celia and a family like Renee's but I have found over 50 Job Seekers groups as well as others to connect with. This book is more than a story about Renee's journey to reinvent herself it is also a mystery that keeps you wanting to read through the ni... Read more

City of Bones; City of Ashes; City of Glass; City of Fallen Angels
City of Bones; City of Ashes; City of Glass; City of Fallen Angels

Review:These books were great! They came in the box and were even wrapped in plastic, obviously new. They came quickly as well and I used the texts to my phone to track it which is something I really like. My only problem was that they were a tad expensive, but nothing like how much i would have had to pay if I bought them at a local bookstore Read more

Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy
Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy

Review:Found this book quite disappointing. Actually fell asleep reading it. That never happened before. Managed to get through it to my surprise. The tales were long winded and boring. Won't get into details, as I don't want to ruin it for others. Wish I had waited until it was free. Read more

The Shadowhunter's Codex (The Mortal Instruments)
The Shadowhunter's Codex (The Mortal Instruments)

Review:My granddaughter has read the whole series and keeps asking for more books. What can be better than having kids read and not always playing video games. Our rule is I will buy any book as long as they read it. Read more

The Bane Chronicles
The Bane Chronicles

Review:I purchased this set for my grandchild, as he had read the first two books and wanted the whole set. I was talked into reading the first "City of Bones" and even though this is not my type of reading, I enjoyed it very much Read more

First Year (The Black Mage Book 1)
First Year (The Black Mage Book 1)

Review:I read a couple of these books. They are pretty predictable. None of the words they give you to describe the mood fits. Whiney is better. The main character makes horrible decisions over and over and does way too much whining and creating teenage drama. I expected it for the first book. But I also expected the character to grow more mature and the books went on. Nope. Just more whining and angst. Read more

Nightmares & Dreamscapes
Nightmares & Dreamscapes

Review:I've looked everywhere for this book and couldn't believe the amount sellers were looking for. I ended up buying the book for my kindle and was a lot cheaper than buying the hardcover. So glad it was offered for the kindle. Read more
