Book Reviews, April 2021:

I didn’t do as much reading in April as I would have liked. When the garden calls, reading takes a back seat to weeding and planting and mulching. Still, I managed to squeeze in a few pages.

From the islands of the Pacific Northwest to the swamps of South Carolina, I met immigrants and foster children, the homeless and reckless and those simply treading water. Oh wait, that’s all of us, right?

I hope my April book reviews stir your interest and maybe even send you off to the local library or indie bookstore. A girl can’t garden 24-7.Continue Reading

Hello my devoted reader friends! Another month means more books to read and review. My book reviews for March 2021 are a mixed bag in every sense. A couple of the best-sellers I couldn’t wait to get my hands on turned out to be disappointments. My absolute favorites were those you’ve probably never heard about. This is why I strongly believe it’s important (and rewarding) to seek out books written by unknown authors.

Books with the largest marketing budgets may not necessarily be the most compelling or best written. At least, that has been my experience.

Of course, to each his own. The ones that spoke straight to my heart may not be your cup of tea. Those that I barely finished may be your end all be all.

That’s okay. And aren’t we glad?Continue Reading

Oooh, I’m excited to share my book reviews for February with you. And what a varied group they are. I didn’t plan it. Often my books are simply devoured in the order they become available at the Fayetteville Public Library. (I have a long wait list of books at the library. Doesn’t everybody?)

Three of these books were recommended by friends. Yay for recommendations!

From Mexico to Paris, dusty Oklahoma to a lush forest in Pennsylvania, I was awed, angered, amazed, and thoroughly entertained by these reads.

I hope you will find your next read in this group of stories. Continue Reading
