Sarah Butland – Imagination Captured

Writing his Alex Cross series brilliantly, filled with mystery, murder and racy detectives made it almost impossible to imagine this skillful writer taking on a romantic story of loss and love. Patterson blew my assumptions away with the first compelling chapter and kept me riveted until the very end. The only novel I almost cried […]

I absolutely adored this novel and cannot wait to read another one of Rice’s books. The characters were easy to relate to which made the story impossible to put down. Following Sarah Talbot through her journey of cancer made me hope for miracles and pray silently for her. Even though I knew she was a […]

A fan of Mary Higgins Clark I was eager to read what her daughter had to say on her own and was surprisingly very disappointed. Burned had so many characters that I found myself not caring enough about any one of them to be curious about the outcome. The story had great potential but I […]

You can’t judge a book by it’s back write up but when time is limited I often do. The first thing that caught my eye, of course, was the cover of this book, the title and the subtitle “Deep underground, evil awaits its prey and then I read the back and immediately knew I had […]

Once I read The Pigman I had to read the sequel, The Pigman’s Legacy. I found this a great follow-up to a fantastic read as it continued the story and format of Lorraine and John who could be anyone you know, even yourself. Everyone has a Pigman in their life, I’m sure of it, and […]

A friend just reintroduced me to the good works of Raffi, a Canadian writer, singer and entertainer who believes in Children Honouring and so has started his own organization to promote this. He also stands by not promoting his work to children as they do not need to be inundated with marketing ploys. Raffi is […]

A novel my husband read in school and couldn’t stop talking about many years later I had to read The Pigman and I’m absolutely glad I did. Not only is it a fantastic read I feel it gave me even more insight to my awesome husband and the past I was never a part of. […]

With so many books on the shelves for children how do you know which one is the right one for your own child? I have a newborn and have been given many books already (people know I’m a fan of reading) and have found some “classics” to be books I don’t want to read a […]

Giving birth to my first child was a daunting experience even though I made every effort to remain positive throughout the entire pregnancy. I put forth the best of intentions to have everything go smoothly – concentrating on the date of birth and how long the delivery would take. I was surprised by the outcome […]

When I was reading Digital Fortress I had friends telling me how much better Deception Point was but I remained doubtful. A huge fan of Dan Brown for many different reasons I enjoyed reading each of his books and can’t wait to get Matter, his book of poetry. Deception Point took me on a ride […]
