I don’t read a lot of nonfiction but I’ve been inspired to read more history by Heather Cox Richardson who tells the history in an easily understandable fashion. So I wanted to read Prequel by Rachel Maddow, which is a history of fascism with a strong dose of antisemitism. As with the time after the […]
I am so thrilled to finally have had a chance to read the Iron Druid Chronicles. Thank you so much to Kevin Hearne for his participation in the Read-along and all my friends and reviewers. No doubt since Scourged is the final book there will be some spoilers. Urban fantasy is a favorite. Usually, […]
I loved the first book in the Molly the Maid series. Molly is a unique character but so hard-working and honest. Her practical attitude is uplifting. I’m thrilled to see her progress. She is often overlooked by those who are focused on social classes or view a maid as just a menial laborer. Molly is […]
Besieged is a large collection and after Staked I wasn’t quite ready to leave this world or wait for the next audiobook, so I decided to download this collection. Brilliant, funny, sad, and interesting, I delighted in these tales shared around a campfire. Atticus, Granuaile, and Oberon are enjoying a quiet evening around the campfire at their […]
I was thrilled to continue with the Midsolar Murders. The characters and world had a good foundation laid in the first book Station Eternity which is where Mallory and Xan and several aliens live. The station itself is sentient, bonded now with Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Brown decides to take a trip and leaves Mallory to […]
I always enjoy stories with aspects from other cultures and Blood Sisters has some of the Native American history. I didn’t know until the author’s note how much of it is based on a true story. The government and its agencies have been very unfair and even cruel. Syd Walker is an archaeologist with the […]
The English Experience by Julie Schumacher popped up in my library recommendations. The funny synopsis and snappy cover art were reason enough to add it to my TBR list. Upon further investigation, I found it was the third book in the Jason Fitger series; so naturally I had to begin at the beginning […]
I am excited to have a new series from Benedict Jacka! I read a bit about the magic on his website before reading the book. It was short reading and gave me a bit more of a foundation for the story. I like the main character, Stephen, who has some long-time friends but really no […]
The Unorthodox Chronicles series is written by Jim Butcher’s son, James. As with most urban fantasy, each book further develops the world and characters so I would read them in order. Often when starting a series, I am just trying to understand how everything works. Now I wanted to see what the story would be […]
I don’t read a lot of nonfiction and reviewing doesn’t seem quite the same as fiction. Usually, there are characters and plot and dialogue to explore. So a different way of looking at things is needed. I chose to read Democracy Awakening because I have been reading the author’s Facebook posts, Letters from an American, […]
