I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m looking forward to this spring far more than I did last spring. At this point in 2020, I still had no full understanding of what lay ahead—except it wasn’t going to be good. Thankfully, there seems to be relief in sight. My husband and I are scheduled for our first Pfizer vaccine next week, we’re both healthy, our families ... Read More...
March Reading Recap
March was a great month for reading in that I ran from one book to another, but not so good for reviewing as my interest in writing fled in the opposite direction. Which now means I have a head full of tangled plots, character confusion, and dense clusters of missing information about what I’ve read.

Her Dark Lies by J.T. Ellison
Monday was fun day for reviews, but today’s a bit different. Still fun, but as you can probably tell from the title, Her Dark Lies is not a light-hearted romp through the craziness of reality TV.

And if you’re tired of hearing me say that, I am damn well tired of having to say it. Hopefully, we’re on a better path ... Read More...
Waiting for the Night Song
We first meet Cadence ‘Cadie’ Kessler as she’s illegally harvesting mountain pine beetles off a tree in the New Hampshire forest. A researcher, she needs proof that the beetles have arrived to their area, threatening the death of trees and the heightened likelihood of rampant forest fires. But within pages, mutilating a tree on public lands is the least of her concerns. The ... Read More...
The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins
I’m a fan of modern retellings of classics. I realize they can risky and there are times they don’t work (I’m looking at you Anna K), but when I saw someone was taking on Jane Eyre I was ready. The Wife Upstairs is set in Birmingham, Alabama not England, and is about Jane, a young woman trying to build a new life for herself. She walks dogs in a wealthy neighborhood, ... Read More...
