LADY OR THE TIGER – Heather M. Herrman

This is one of the most impressive books I’ve read in a long time. Part western, part mystery, with a hint of macabre, Lady or the Tiger ticks all the right boxes when making a checklist of what makes for an excellent read. Belle King was an infamous teenage serial killer and when she willingly walked into Continue reading

THE LAST WIZARD’S BALL – Charlaine Harris

I was a little late to the game in reading this Gunnie Rose series, just as I was very late in reading Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse books (ie True Blood) but I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how much I’ve enjoyed both of these series. The Gunnie Rose series is a sci-fi, paranormal western where the Continue reading

THREE DAYS IN JUNE – Anne Tyler

I have been reading Anne Tyler books since the early 1980’s when a college professor had us read Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant for a modern lit class and I then went and found and read everything she’d written prior to that. You could call me a fan. She captures the extraordinary moments of ordinary people better Continue reading

THE GODLESS – James A. Moore

Looking over my review of book #4 in the Seven Forges series, I clearly believed that to be the final book. Five years later and The Godless was published, which I read and reviewed in October of 2021. Although my review was previously posted, I read the five books of the series in order (some for the Continue reading

CITY OF WONDERS – James A. Moore

This is the third book in James A. Moore’s Seven Forges series. It should be no surprise that it’s gritty, violent, exciting, full of heroic men and women, magic, and vengeful gods.

MALÖRT: THE REDEMPTION OF A REVERED AND REVILED SPIRIT – Josh Noel

Tell me about a book of a spirit that I’m not familiar with, and I’m interested. Tell me it’s roots are of Scandinavian origin and I’m very interested.
