CHILDREN'S, FEATURED
Summer League by Melissa M. Williams
I must admit I volunteered at the local school to read this to a group of children. Let me put it this way. It took me about 2 weeks – their story hour was really only 15 minutes long each time – but they really enjoyed this. That makes it a winner in my book. Kids [...]

A Multi-Site Church Roadtrip
This book is a great how-to for churches that would like to expand their congregations. It shows examples of how other churches did it and how to avoid pitfalls. While an interesting book, this book is targeting church leaders and those that help make decisions. I must say that although church expansion has always happened, bringing [...]
FEATURED, FICTION, INSPIRATION
Keeping Faith by Cindy Bradford
This book surprised me. I knew the subject matter was touchy (young boy abused by priest) and was a little worried about how it would be handled. Expertly. Ms. Bradford has managed to write a heavy subjected book in a way that we feel sadness, happiness and shock all at the right spots. I like that [...]

Recollections: a Baby Boomer’s Memories of the Fabulous Fifties by Jim Chambers
Storyline: In this book, Jim Chambers shows us the views of the Fifties as he remembers them. It was a fun book for me as I am all about the 50’s. Story Characters: Jim is a likable guy. His short stories are definitely fun to read and I always enjoy reading first hand accounts of experiences and eras. Writing [...]

We Interrupt This Date by L.C. Evans
REVIEW OF STORY LINE: This was a great story. There were times where there were too many different things going on at once (pawn shop, mother, sister, friend, Jack) and it seemed a little flighty, but regardless of that, it was a great story. This book didn’t read like a story. It felt like you [...]
HORROR
Moonlight by Keith Knapp
Posted on 08 March 2010
I started off really digging this book. The fact that all the lights went out and all of a sudden there is no law and you don’t know who is good and who is evil, that piqued my interest. However, it must be done with a new twist and this topic has been written about [...] Continue Reading
HORROR, NON-INDIE
Ill Met By Moonlight by William F. Nolan
Posted on 06 March 2010
Let me just start this by saying “HOW DID THIS BOOK GET LOST IN MY PILE!?!?!!?!?!?” Loved it! Loved the short stories, the poems made me smile (and at times cringe – “darkies”) and the sketches were awesome! If you can get this book, run and get it. There are limited copies and the price is [...] Continue Reading
CHILDREN'S
Iggy the Iguana by Melissa M. Williams
Posted on 06 March 2010
Let me start this review by telling you what my son said: No no mommy. This book stays here with me. Leave it here because I like it. For those of us with kids, you know how difficult it is to get them focused on one thing and having them like it enough to want to hold [...] Continue Reading
FICTION
“Two Scoops” Is Just Right by Alex Carrick
Posted on 06 March 2010
I couldn’t stop laughing while reading this. Even now, while thinking back to some of the stories, I have to chuckle. Alex Carrick talks about everything from family, to recycling, to death. He writes in a way that he would speak to you if you were in front of you. There are 78 short stories in [...] Continue Reading

Merlin’s Harp ~ Anne Crompton
Posted on 04 March 2010
Thank you for visiting from http://bookworm0440.blogspot.com This was my first exposure to what is known as Arthurian literature, so I must admit I was a little nervous to dive into it. I found myself enjoying it, not only was it a quick read, but found that although it has an exotic sounding genre, it’s somewhat generalized. However, [...] Continue Reading
