Mating for Life
by Marissa Stapley
Love the characters and the format (3/22/2014)
I really enjoyed the format of this book. Each chapter is told from the viewpoint of that particular character. I feel like as a reader this helps you to learn each character in the story in a more intimate way, versus just from the voice of a narrator. It was also exciting …more
Song of the Spirits
Song of the Spirits: In the Land of the Long White Cloud saga
by Sarah Lark
Long, but worthwhile and exciting (8/6/2013)
I admit, when I opened the mail and saw the size of this book, I was overwhelmed. Once I began reading, I was done with it within 3 days.
While the book is certainly long, and in parts very wordy and descriptive, it still holds your attention. Even though it is part of a …more

Flat Water Tuesday
by Ron Irwin
A little slow going, but worth it (6/2/2013)

When Women Were Birds: Fifty-four Variations on Voice
by Terry Tempest Williams
A quick, insightful read (2/24/2013)
I was nervous to begin this book, described on the cover, by the author, as "fifty four variations on voice." I was afraid it would seem disjointed and I wouldn't "get it." Surprisingly, the pages just flew by and before I knew it, I had finished from cover to cover in just …more
Where You Can Find Me
Where You Can Find Me: A Novel
by Sheri Joseph
Far Fetched and Perverse (2/13/2013)
I found this book hard to get through. It was a slow read, difficult to pick up again.
I found the story a bit far fetched, with plot lines I just found unbelievable. I could not get past these holes to fully believe the book or actions of the characters.
I also do not agree …more
