Publishers and Authors, Let Me Read Your Books!
Come one. Come all! I want to read your books! I love the opportunity to read new books. I’ve had the honor of working with a couple of different publishers and authors over by #BookJar days, and I’d love to expand my network. You, as authors, put your heart and your soul into the books […]
Debate: eReader or Books
I fought for so long against the eReader craze. I thought for sure that it wouldn’t catch on and become popular. Boy, was I wrong. Over the years, eReaders have taken off. It’s kind of like cell phones: the more advanced they’ve gotten, the smaller they are. eReaders now boast that you can travel with […]

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens has been super hyped, especially all over the #bookstagram world. My sister even read it and said she couldn’t put it down. Of course, I put in my request for it from the library MONTHS ago, and finally got to read it earlier in July. The Story Where […]
Thirteen by Steve Cavanagh

I was selected to review Thirteen by Steve Cavanagh through NetGalley, and it was the first one I finished. The Story Thirteen follows the trial of a famous movie star accused of murdering his agent and his […]
The Autobiography of Henry VIII by Margaret George
Margaret George is one of the best historical fiction writers. She started my love for the genre back when I read Helen of Troy. In the last year, I’ve had an odd obsession for Tudor England, so it only made sense that I start The Autobiography of Henry VIII. A Book Made for the Man […]
