Once in a while, a book comes along that's just completely different from anything else. It can't be classified into any genre, or have any sort of label slapped on it. But it makes the reader think, and smile, shed a tear or two, possibly spend some time reminiscing on their own life, trying to... Continue Reading →

Bea Pinkerton is a bestselling author ... well, she was. Right now she's suffering from writer's block and she's way over her deadline (again!) Only this time, instead of her understanding, warm and friendly agent holding her hand and telling her that everything will be ok, she's been replaced by the no-nonsense, all-business Vesta who...

I finally finished giggling long enough to write my review! This author has such a way with words and a particular turn of phrase that I found laugh-out-loud funny. Nora (Eleanora actually, but the only people who call her that are her mother and her stuffy younger sister, Faith) is approaching her 40th birthday. She's... Continue Reading →
I thoroughly enjoyed this - Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson. Her style of writing in short, sharp chapters makes it so easy to keep reading and virtually impossible to put down!
