I don't know about you, but the few months of the year always fly by for me. I'll put something off for a couple days and look up to realize weeks have now passed! But I'm back now and happy to share some more great books. On the surface, they all look wildly different, but … Continue reading Reading Roundup #88: Inner Voices
Starting back to work after a gloriously lazy vacation means I'm back to tired and overwhelmed by all the interaction with people (there are so many!). But at least I still have good books! So, this is just a quick pop-in to share a few favorite from the past couple weeks. Hopefully, I will be … Continue reading Reading Roundup #87: Better Than Reality
A cold front came in over the weekend, and I'm relishing the opportunity to layer up and hunker down with a good book in the evening. And this round of books is great for the coming winter, with plenty of smoke and mirrors going on... sometimes more humorously and sometimes quite seriously. First up is … Continue reading Reading Roundup #84: The Perfect Reading Weather
Sometimes you hit a steady stream of just Great Books, sometimes you're stuck wading through disappointments, and sometimes you get a healthy mix of good and less good, which is where I'm at right now. And frankly, I think it's a pretty good place because, even if all of these books didn't steal my heart, … Continue reading Reading Roundup #82: Life is Like a Box of Books
Opening yourself to another person can be downright terrifying, but whether they realize it or not, all our characters this week desperately need someone to love.

Killers of a Certain Age delivers all the fun and action of the Angels but with a little more rage and a lot more cold blooded murder. Needless to say, I love it. After … Continue reading Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn
Well, it's happened: I've fallen into obsession with another long series. I tried to pace myself with the Vorkosigan books — I really did!! — but somewhere around last Friday I lost all control, and here we are, three full books and three short stories later, and with no sign of slowing down. I did … Continue reading Reading Roundup #79: Here I Go Again
Sometimes, we know exactly what we need, and sometimes, it takes a little longer to figure out... and a lot of work to make it happen. This week, all of our characters are fighting for what they need, whether it's love, survival, or simply a sense of purpose. Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch: … Continue reading Reading Roundup #78: Something More
There is no joy quite like sharing a book with a friend, and this week was chock full of recommendations and book talk with dear ones. And not only did it lead to lots of fun but to a few new favorites, as well! A Lady Awakened (Blackshear Family #1) by Cecilia Grant: I have … Continue reading Reading Roundup #77: With a Little Help From My Friends
This week, our protagonists struggle with their finer and more monstrous instincts, seeking peace in the face of difficult circumstances. Each has their own demons (some more literal than others) and pushes the reader to ask, "Who is worthy of love and happiness? And what price are we willing to pay for these things?" Sophie … Continue reading Reading Roundup #76: Heroes & Villains
