My Book Review of Wondrous Strange by Leslie Livingston

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Not my typical choice for a novel I am very thankful I won it and had the pleasure of reading it.
Wondrous Strange takes its readers on a wonderful adventure of faeires, magic and mystical creatures while expanding our imagination and wonder.
Becoming accustomed to reading possible real life scenarios, feasible murders and crimes, I had [...]

My Book Review of Random Acts by Taylor Smith

Monday, March 8th, 2010

I fell in love with this story long before realizing it was written by a fellow Canadian author and then fell in love with it all over again when I did.
Throughout this story of a serial baby snatcher I looked down at my son and thanked the universe for protecting my first born and [...]

My Review of Roses Are Red by James Patterson

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Patterson did it again! He wrote an Alex cross series and didn’t tie up every lose end like I’ve become accustomed to reading. I quite enjoyed this read as it was a novel, a story line, an author I was more familiar with and enjoy the temporary relief of not having to decide if I’m [...]

My Review of Black Water by T.J. MacGregor

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Black Water captured me much like an episode of Medium. It grabbed me with the first chapter by having me connect with Mira and her daughter Annie and then suddenly shook me so hard I was confused.
MacGregor took me from a simple time in 2003 which I could relate very well to and then [...]

Pop Goes the Weasel by James Patterson Book Review

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

A little tired of Alex Cross and his crime busting moves I stayed away from the series for a few books and then went back. I’m happy I gave him another shot as this book had me curious from page one (of course part of that curiousity was due to reading the books out of [...]

My Book Review of Late Nights on Air by Elizabeth Hay

Friday, February 12th, 2010

A book I picked up only because a friend recommended it which was the only reason I continued through the first 150 or so pages. Fortunately, I knew my friend wouldn’t let me down and I read on resulting in my being won over by Elizabeth Hay.
A tale of employees working at a radio station [...]

My Book Review of Sandra Brown’s Play Dirty

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

For my first Sandra Brown novel I am hooked. She tells a compelling story which had me doubting my instincts, loving the characters and hoping/ trusting friends would resolve their deep rooted problems, personally and as couples.
Play Dirty describes the tribulations of Griff, a former NFL player who was found guilty of cheating during the [...]

My Review of Idle Thursday by Kelly Moran

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Throughout this books entirety I had to keep checking Facebook to ensure there wasn’t an RIP Kelly Moran group created. It’s description of life and death was so beautifully composed that I was worried for the health of the author, not to mention her husband and children.
This short novel is filled with questions we all [...]

My Book Review of The Intention Experiment by Lynne McTaggart

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Wow, what an amazing book. At first I was completely overwhelmed with the convoluted way of saying what needed to be said but I read on, realizing that the message needed to be explained thoroughly for it to be trusted. With scientist after scientist being referenced, including: Fritz-Albert Popp, Sai Ghosh, Ingo Swann, Helmut Schmidt, [...]
