Book Review: Sting by Sandra Brown

I’ve been reading Sandra Brown off and on for years. Her past couple of releases have been on my “I must have it on release day!” list. The same was true for Sting but unfortunately this book didn’t quite live up to what I’ve come to expect from Brown. Continue reading “Book Review: Sting by Sandra Brown”

Book Review: Cake Icing, Butt Budder & Tea Lids by Renee Andrews

Book Review: Sweet Tomorrows by Debbie Macomber

Sweet Tomorrows is the fifth and final book in Macomber’s Rose Harbor series. I’m usually a stickler and recommend that readers read a series in order. I stand by that advice but I’ll admit (and it’s hard to) that Sweet Tomorrows can be read without having read the previous books. Macomber does an excellent job of filling in the details so that the reader won’t feel lost. The series is a good one, so do go read the other books if you haven’t.

Book Review: The Name of the Wind & The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss

You might ask yourself why on earth is this chick reviewing a book that came out years ago? That she read years ago. That we’ve all read. And that we might have a very strong love hate relationship with. The answer is simple Continue reading “Book Review: The Name of the Wind & The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss”

Books and Buddy Reads: Stars of Fortune and Bay of Sighs by Nora Roberts

Are you in a book club? Do you ever participate in group/buddy reads? Does reading a book with others change your overall perception of the work? I recently read the first two books of Nora Roberts’ The Guardian’s Trilogy, Stars of Fortune and Bay of Sighs, with friends and it made me wonder…
