The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point). Kindle freebie on 9 September 2017 (currently still free at Amazon and Barnes & Noble as of writing this post) Overall rating 4.34 with 622 ratings and 36 reviews I was so excited to see this set […]
This will surprise some people and not others, I’ve never read Nora Roberts before. I have no idea why. I guess none of her books ever jumped out at me. But that changed when I read Kimberly’s review over at Caffeinated Reviewer. Her review really caught my attention and I quickly […]
I loved The Admiral, the first book in the Evagardian series. It was a good introduction to the world with four people stranded who didn’t know each other. It was smart. The plot was clear – survival – but very fascinating as the world developed and also learning about the characters. The Admiral, capable and with […]
Whoa! *Fans self* Legs is one hot and sexy story. But it is so much more. The setting is Northern California with a wine theme. The couple is in their late 20s. They and their friends have some issues with their careers and families. I liked Rachel. I could understand her need to figure out […]
A Spoonful of Magic looked fun with cooking and magic. I did enjoy those aspects. The start was just so sloooooow, so much data and so little information.

I’ve read every bit of the Jane Yellowrock series, including all the novellas. I love the rich tableau of the world and its characters. I enjoy sinking into the characters and the story. I let myself go and become the main character to a certain degree. In Dark Queen, this was terrifying because Jane was […]
I have read all three series by J.A. Jance for a long time. This Ali Reynolds series, is probably the least realistic of the three, and is not based on law enforcement personnel like the other series. I still love it. Ali was a news anchor who was briefly in law enforcement and now works with […]
Anytime there is cooking involved with the main character as a baker, chef or restaurant owner, I have to consider reading. Magic is my favorite speculative fiction. So I easily convinced myself to read Don’t Call Me Cupcake. The setting is a small waterfront town in the pacific Northwest. There are some old families, including […]
