Picking up bits and pieces of gardening wisdom over the years from family and friends, along with simply learning by trial and error, I’m always up for honing my knowledge. However, the sheer volume of gardening manuals and how-tos out there make selecting the best books to meet my needs anything, but easy. The title […]
The title of this trilogy says it all Monsters + MASH equals lots of zany supernaturals, out of this world war, and a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital group of personnel for the ages. If you have to serve in the army of the gods at the edge of a war zone on another plane, this […]
I started this Detective Ford series, because Steve West was narrating, but a British police mystery is a favorite genre as well. The main character is a single dad, who lost his wife in a tragic accident. He has felt considerable grief and guilt. Now six years later, Ford has a teenage son and a […]
I have been really enjoying the Carter Archives series, which is a science fiction with police cases. I would read these in order to give the proper world-building and character development. Carter like all good UF heroes is gathering his misfit allies. We see some known characters like Gellica and Paulus, Bryyh, Guyer, and Talena. […]

Spellmaker is the follow up to Spellbreaker and together they form a duology. I loved Spellbreaker and was thrilled to read more in this world. I would read these in order. Luckily, the author does a very small bit of reviewing details, and in a natural way, so it is easy to get into the […]
I struggled to get myself to read Heartbreak Bay, only difficult, because I know it is the last in this Stillhouse Lake series. But it is also the last book from an author I have loved, in every genre she has written. The only series I haven’t read of her work is the Weather Warden […]
