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…

My Big Fat Review
I saw “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2” yesterday. I liked it. Was it as magical as the first movie? No. Sequels rarely are. BUT, this was fun and it was funny. It was like an hour and a half of laughing with old friends. They weren’t kidding – EVERYONE came back for this movie.…

REVIEW: “On Your Feet The Musical”
If you have the opportunity to see On Your Feet The Musical, do NOT pass it up! I guarantee you, the “Rhythm is Gonna Get You” right from the start of the show. And it’s not gonna let you go!

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…

REVIEW: “All We Lack” by Sandra Moran
Rizzoli & Isles is about to finish up its fifth season on TNT. The last new episodes will air next week (March 17) and I’ll be forced to wait until summer for the next season. I started watching Rizzoli & Isles pretty late in the game. In fact, I started watching in the middle of the fifth season.…

REVIEW: “Zero Visibility” by Georgia Beers
The really wonderful thing about Lesbian Fiction is that it has really become pretty diverse in terms of genre.Yes, I think we still have a way to go, but there are more options to choose from today than there were in, say, 2000. Heck, in the last 10 years alone, the Golden Crown Literary Society…
