REVIEW: Thorn by Anna Burke
After reading and reviewing Anna Burke’s debut novel, Compass Rose, I was really excited to see what she had up her sleeve for her sophomore offering. I knew it was too soon for a sequel to Compass Rose – though I really can’t wait for that sequel – and I was aware that she had a few…

REVIEW: 2° by Bev Prescott
It’s been four years since Bev Prescott has published a book. That book was Blowback and it was pretty amazing. Needless to say, I’ve been anxiously waiting for Prescott’s next offering. We’d been hearing about it for a while. Prescott teased us as we waited – updates, excerpts, cover reveals, etc. It was maddening, I say! Maddening!…

REVIEW: Love All by Rachel Spangler
Facebook informed me that today is my “Friendversary” with Rachel Spangler. We have been connected on Facebook for 10 years.

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: “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: “96 Hours” by Georgia Beers
“This is our JFK moment, you know? It’s like how everybody who was around in the ’60s can tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard that Kennedy was shot. This is our version of that.” pg. 59 This quote from the award-winning 96 Hours (Bywater Books) by Georgia Beers really,…
