Hello Readers!
As an avid reader myself, I always say I've never met a reader I didn't like. Books have a way of connecting and transporting us, while simultaneously teaching us more about ourselves and the world around us. Who would say no to that?
But now I need readers to see my book!
If you like:
Stephen King
John Irving
John Boyne
and the late greats like
John D. MacDonald

The White Crow.
The author is one of my favorites so I was pleased my request was approved. I had forgotten I read the first book in the Philomena McCarthy series so I had to go back and re-read my review. I enjo" Read more of this review » |

of
Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers:
"This one was not for me. After a while I found myself skim skim skimming to see if there would ever come a time when Caroline Fraser would stop with this dense thickety intertwining of murder, memoir, industrial history and her incessant Theory of Le"

| This book stylistically was the hardest book I’ve ever read because he switched between characters and scenes with no breaks, no lines, no chapters- nothing! It is so so confusing! One sentence one person is talking and the next it’s totally changed! ...more | |

| Most romantasy these days is barely readable but this one surprised me! It’s well written and plot driven. I enjoyed it! Yes I knew one of the twists from the very beginning but in a genre that has some questionable talent this one’s a standout | |

| I was fine with this book until pt 2 when it legit turned into a soap opera like Stefan style in Days of our lives. Not going to spoil it but gosh that was dumb and unbelievable. 2.5 stars rounded up. Not her best !! | |

“In bed that night I invented a special drain that would be underneath every pillow in New York, and would connect to the reservoir.

“Love of music, of sunsets and sea; a liking for the same kind of people; political opinions that are not radically divergent; a similar stance as we look at the stars and think of the marvelous strangeness of the universe - these are what build a marriage. And it is never to be taken for granted.”
