Wow. Another year gone. It’s time to raise the curtain and let the best debuts of 2018 take their bows. It may not have been the easiest year for my reading, but once again debut authors gave me a lot of happy. If you're stuck on a gift for the reader in your life, all of these came out earlier in the year so should be available at your local book store. Plus, they're on a ... Read More...
November Reading Wrap-Up
Well, my November this year was not as much of a blockbuster as last year, but I did read four outstanding books, out of a total of 12 for the month. Not too surprisingly, they were all books released several years ago. Generally, November is a slow time for new releases (which seems odd to me because it’s right in time for holiday sales).

I can’t speak for anyone else, but for me books I loved or hated are easier to write about. A book ... Read More...
September Reading Wrap-Up
What a month! I read much less, but found some great, less publicized books that were exactly what I needed. Sadly, the end of the month has found me floundering as American politics have taken over. Despite knowing it would be difficult I felt I owed Dr. Ford the respect of listening to her testimony. It broke my heart and brought back a lot of very painful memories—as I’m ... Read More...
August Reading Wrap-Up
Where did this summer go?! I’m pretty sure I lost the month of July completely. August was a bit better and for my reading as well. I had three books I absolutely loved, but did struggle with finding the right blend of reading. I had a streak of intense, timely novels that mirrored reality too closely and left me drained. An occupational hazard, I guess! Of course, next month ... Read More...
