COMPOSITE CREATURES – Caroline Hardaker
As much as I wish I would like every book I read, and I’m sure every author wishes everyone would like their book, sometimes an author, at least a book, and a reader don’t connect. That would be the case for me and Composite Creatures by Caroline Hardaker. The earth is toxic. Air, soil, water. The years Continue reading

THE AENEID – Virgil
Somehow I managed to get through high school and college without ever having read The Aeneid. I’m happy to have finally corrected that. Inspired by Homer’s slightly better-known, more familiar works, Virgil’s The Aeneid takes the hero, Aeneas, a survivor of the fall of Troy, and tells his story of war and defeat, his loves and passion, and Continue reading

ALL’S WELL – Mona Awad
Well, this didn’t work for me at all. A one-time theatre professional, Miranda Fitch, is now a college professor and she’s close to losing this job. She is addicted to pain-killers for her chronic back pain. She loathes herself, her students, her life. She has selected Shakespeare’s All’s Well That Ends Well – one of his ‘problem’ plays Continue reading

THE GIRL IN HIS SHADOW – Audrey Blake
Historical fiction has become immensely popular (or perhaps I’m just becoming more aware of it). For me, I like bringing history a little more into focus – the reminder that events from history are surrounded by people. People who lived, loved, and who did things that changed lives. What I don’t like about historical fiction is the (necessary) blending Continue reading

AND THE EARTH WILL SIT ON THE MOON – Nikolai Gogol
Nikolai Gogol. Like many, I suppose, I first encountered the work of Nikolai Googol while in college. I found his stories “The Nose” and “The Overcoat” entertaining, original, with some biting social commentary … exactly the sort of writing a university student might really get into. This collection includes Gogol’s arguably three most famous short Continue reading

A secretive organization called The Cabal believe that Lorelai “Lori” Palumbo has committed unspeakable crimes in the past and now she must pay.

GAME ON – Janet Evanovich
Stephanie Plum is on the hunt for an international computer hacker – Oswald Wednesday. Stephanie is not the most technology proficient sleuth and she’s probably going to need some help.

The time has finally arrived. October “Toby” Daye is going to get married. She’s been engaged to her fiancé, Tybalt, the King of Cats, for some time now.

LAW OF THE LAND – Elmer Kelton
In the 1950’s (and a few decades prior) it was pretty easy to find and read some short western fiction if that was your literature of choice. There were scores of western pulps. Today, western readers are generally limited to a few publishers of western novels by a very few western writers. Law of the Continue reading
