I managed to read a stack of books in June. There is definitely something for everyone in my June book reviews, unless you never read, and then I don’t know what to say. Bless your heart, maybe?

If you love a heavy tome of a story, Cloud Cuckoo Land is for you. Women’s Fiction, Cozy Mystery, Essays, Humor, Time Travel—it’s all here.

It’s book review time! There are some real treasures in these March 2022 Book Reviews. A couple of these novels were published several years ago. Others are fairly new to the world. Two were written by Irish authors (McCann and Grissom)—appropriate for March, I think.

I didn’t read as much as I expected because I had several false starts at the beginning of the month.

Those are my preferred methods of book buying/reading too. But my link is included in case you want the convenience. Continue Reading
