I originally read Road to Reckoning because I thought it would be interesting to read of the birth of the revolver, even if from a fictional standpoint. That portion of the novel was very interesting and caught my eye but it was the characters that drew me in. Even though told as an old man, […]
The Riddle of Sphinx Island was an interesting read. I would be remiss not to compare Major Payne and Antonia Darcy to Nick and Nora Charles, with quick wit and smarts all they were missing was Asta. The story was entertaining with a cast of eccentric characters, reminding me of the 1985 movie Clue. It was great […]

I discovered Netgalley last year, and became a kid in a candy store. Since then I have acquired several arcs (both e and physical books) and while they are my priority it is always nice to have a little motivation or push to read them. Yesterday, I discovered Review Copy Cleanup hosted by NYX […]

Anne Rice’s descriptions on a vampire’s day-to-day or night-to night life were fascinating; from the transformation to mortal to […]
Sharp Objects is a well-paced novel keeping the reader in suspense throughout. I tried to savor the last thirty pages but became such a page-turner as the murderer became uncovered I had a hard time doing so. Even after it appears that it is solved, cased closed, the Epilogue tells us differently, it uncovers an […]
The first half of the novel or Daisy as a child and young adult is interesting and a good read, learning about her parent-less childhood with a co-guardian who has sexual feelings for 11-year-old Daisy Goodwill and eventually marries her 20 some years later, but also reading about her brief marriage to her first husband […]
Winter’s Respite Read-A-Thon hosted by Michelle at The True Book Addict starts today. My goal for this week is to read at least two books and read two hours each day. That seems manageable to me. I usually promise a check-in post during the read-a-thon but I need to face the music and come to […]
