⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] What a fabulous read. I just love finding new and addictive detective series, particularly those with a strong female protagonist. And the icing on the cake, - the dual setting of this book, with the story - alternating between Long Island, NY and in and around County…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] My stop today on the @RandomThingsTour #BlogTour for #TheMaidens Just, wow! Another home run from the Master of the crazy-twist-ending-out-of-nowhere, I admit I did not see this one coming (although I did get part of the way there…) A wonderful mixture of character-driven psychology, gruesome Greek mythology,…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Easily one of the best books I’ve read this year. Katharina is a sprawling, immersive and meticulously researched account of the early years of Katharina Von Bora, the fascinating and little-known woman who became the wife of Martin Luther, the German priest who triggered the Protestant Reformation, in 1525.…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ How do you bounce back from a failed romance, a brief love affair with your very best friend, that ended suddenly, without warnings or goodbyes, leaving you to realize it really couldn’t have been love after all, - for both of you. Makiya (Ki) is living that dilemma every…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delightfully original. Thoughtful. Provocative. Which of us does not, at times, wear a “mask”, sheltering us at our most vulnerable, and providing a liberating newness of face and of spirit? What makes a true hero? Is it really nothing more than doing the best you can to process whatever…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Today am on the HQ Book tour, reviewing the book “Out of Sight” by Paul Gitsham which was just released on June 4, 2021 and is Book 7 in the DCI Warren Jones series. (Note: This is the first book I read in this series, and I enjoyed it…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a perfect cookbook! This beautiful book, the second to be presented by Antoni Porowski, our favorite foodie from Queer Eyes Fab Five, is packed with recipes for easy and healthy dinners for the work week, featuring “big” Salads, Vegan and Meatless meals, and Eggs For Dinner, as well…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book really surprised me. I admit I was curious - what would a Martial Arts Master, himself childless, have to teach about raising children? Reading Part 1, the first few chapters, confused me a little and I struggled a bit to get into the casual conversational writing style,…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book crushed me. My normal practice is to begin to write, immediately upon closing a book, to let my impressions flow to form my review, raw and real. My feelings upon closing this book would not allow for this. Such a huge crushing weight settling on me made…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Where to start? This is a very unusual book. What do you get when you cross sci-fi /fantasy as in “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy”, with a budding romance, ambitious philosophical yearnings, theological history, Mexican drug cartels, murder, money laundering, and last but not least, an earthly visitation by…
