CROWDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE – Dr. Bo Brock
It definitely takes a special sort of person to go in to the business of helping and caring for animals. Maintaining a sense of humor definitely helps as animals can often be even more unpredictable than humans as patients. Veterinarian Dr. Bo Brock not only maintains his sense of humor, but shares it through a… Continue reading

THE JOLLY CORONER – Quentin Canterel
This was certainly one of the most interesting books I’ve read in quite some time. I’m not sure how one would define this. Quirky romance? Bizarre-o horror? Oddball thriller? I also don’t think I’ve ever gone through as much of a pendulum swing in liking/disliking a book, while reading it, as I did with this.… Continue reading

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE – Ian Fleming
Of course I am familiar with the James Bond films, and while I own a number of the books, I hadn’t gotten around to reading any of them (still haven’t). When I saw this audio book available at my local library, I decided my commute to work would be a great time to finally experience… Continue reading

This is often because publisher’s aren’t particularly good about letting the reviewer know it’s the middle of a series. Such is the case here. Blood Will Follow is book two in… Continue reading

SUGARLAND – Martha Conway
When the offer to review this book came through, I was very excited. A mystery … a favorite new genre for me. Set in the 1920’s … one of my favorite eras for researching and writing about. And jazz music … easily my favorite musical style. And I looked over the information about the book,… Continue reading

THE COPPER PROMISE – Jen Williams
Although this book is just recently released by Angry Robot, it has been out for a little while (self-published, I believe) and it has been on my radar to read. Being a fan of many of the Angry Robot line of books, this looked like a good time to give it a go. There is… Continue reading
