My Thoughts

I know horror films aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I've been a fan of the genre since I was a little bitty kid in the 1980s. I guess you can say I have a soft spot for any horror movie-related book, such as Evil Seeds: The Ultimate Movie Guide To Villainous Children, which I will post a review of on the 13th.

[Review] - Together Forever by Jody Hedlund

[Review] - Together Forever by Jody Hedlund

There's been a paperback copy of Together Forever by Jody Hedlund sitting on my desk for over three years, and I'm finally getting around to reading it. What's the holdup? First off, I wasn't aware it's book two of a series until after its release. Secondly, the plot involves an 'Orphan Train.' Ironically, that's the name of the series, which I would have known if I paid more attention to the cover. I have nothing against orphan train stories, but there are too many books covering the topic. And after a while, the plots become a bit stale.

[Review] - Blue Man by John L. Moore

[Review] - Blue Man by John L. Moore

On my 40th birthday, I'm spending the afternoon writing this review for Blue Man (Available on Paperback and Kindle) by John L. Moore, the award-winning author of The Breaking of Ezra Riley. My reading schedule is tight for the next three months, so signing up to be part of a book blog tour wasn't part of my plan. Once I got a glimpse of the cover art, I became intrigued, read the synopsis, and joined the book tour.

[Review] - Far Side of the Sea by Kate Breslin

[Review] - Far Side of the Sea by Kate Breslin

It's another day, and here's another book from my TBR stack that's been collecting dust on my desk. The title is Far Side of the Sea, written by Kate Breslin and published by Bethany House in 2019. It's set in my least favorite historical setting - World War I. Typically, I don't care to read about the era. I prefer my historical romances set in the 19th century. Nevertheless, like any reading champ, I turned to Chapter One on page 9 and gave the novel everything I have, which means it received my full attention in between rounds of coffee.

Good Morning, Everyone! 

 

I like to thank everyone for their kind words last week regarding my ailing grandmother. It's been an emotional year for me, and I'm hoping 2022 will be a better year, not just for me but for everyone.

[Review] - Dangerous Illusions by Irene Hannon

[Review] - Dangerous Illusions by Irene Hannon

Once upon a time, Christian romance mysteries were unique reads for me. Well, that's until the subgenre became crowded with too many new authors, and the stories became too generic for my liking. I tuned out sometime in 2017, around the time Revell published Dangerous Illusions by Irene Hannon. Revell sent me a review copy, and it's been sitting on a desk collecting dust along with a few other books. At long last, I picked it up, cracked it open, and read it.
