Review: “Edge of Glory” by Rachel Spangler
Just this last weekend, I did something I haven’t done in a really long time. I read four books in two days. I just pulled out the Kindle, made myself comfy, and started reading. It was kind of spectacular. One of the books I chose to read is Edge of Glory by Rachel Spangler (Bywater Books). I’ve…

REVIEW: First Position by Melissa Brayden
Today was a day that I most certainly did not want to watch anything on TV. I didn’t even want to be on a channel adjacent to one that might be showing the inauguration. So, I decided to protest in my own way. I turned off the TV, cuddled up with a blanket and my cats,…

REVIEW: “Hoosier Daddy” by Ann McMan and Salem West (repost)
I read this book 3 years ago. I was fortunate enough to get a pre-publication look at it. Boy-oh-boy! Was I glad that Salem West asked me – reviewer to reviewer – to take a look at it and give my honest opinion of it. My honest opinion? It’s a FANTASTIC novel! I’ve re-read it…

REVIEW: “Just Three Words” by Melissa Brayden
I’ve been pretty busy for the past year or so. My Board obligations with the Golden Crown Literary Society have kept me hopping. Because of this, my time for reading books and reviewing them has been cut pretty substantially. But, I am determined to get back on track and caught up! That said, I decided to…

REVIEW: “Firework” by Melissa Brayden
The drive between Chicago, IL and San Diego, CA is a long one. Quite a bit of that journey is spent in very wide-open spaces – plains, prairies, deserts. There’s not a lot to see, really – particularly if one has traveled that route multiple times. So, I’m really glad that I had some audio…

Review: “Starting From Scratch” by Georgia Beers
I initially read this book in December 2012. It was about one month after my mother passed away. I didn’t write a review at that time. I couldn’t. (If you’ve read the book, you know why. If you haven’t, you will.) It did not mean that I didn’t like the book. That’s so far from the…

REVIEW: “Perfect Pairing” by Rachel Spangler
Grilled cheese sandwiches. My mom loved them. I was never a fan, though I didn’t dislike them, really. I just thought they were kind of boring. Butter some white bread (preferably Butternut brand bread), throw some Kraft American cheese in between two slices, throw it in the pan until the bread was crispy and the…

REVIEW: “The Empath” by Jody Klaire
I enjoy opportunities to read offerings from new authors. I admit that I don’t get to do it often. Life keeps me pretty busy. So busy, in fact, that I don’t get to read often at all. Full stop. That saddens me because I love reading so much. Strange. Seems like I had more time…

REVIEW: “Love is Enough” by Cindy Rizzo
Let me get this out of the way right at the top: I don’t like politics. I never really have. That was a tough row to hoe when I was living with a mother and grandmother who spent about 75% of their waking hours watching or talking politics. Don’t get me wrong. That doesn’t mean…
