Confessions of a Multi-genre Reader

Confessions of a Multi-genre Reader

Are you a crazed reader? Do you read more than book one at a time in different genres? Do you have one genre you just can’t resist? It seems so normal to me to have more than one book lying around in progress--nightstand, desk, living room. You get the idea, right?

Finally reading Little Women

Finally reading Little Women

In 1967 when I was eight, my mother gave me paperbacks of: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, andLittle Women for Christmas. I was, and remain, a vociferous reader from Dick and Jane primers onward. I’m never without at least three books...

Book Reviews: I’m a Tough Reviewer

Book Reviews: I’m a Tough Reviewer

Standards of living, standards of writing, standards of service. I don’t want to let these things fall by the wayside. Let’s be tough when we review ourselves sometimes and keep the critiques going and the desire to rise up a level or two. Let’s not become slobs either in how we dress or approach our work and our lives.

Book Review: Jacob T. Marley

Jacob T. Marley by R. William BennettFinishing Jacob T. Marley for at least the third time again left me wistful and contemplative. The lengths this author, R. William Bennett, went to in order to sound Dickensonian, are to be commended. The research and wordcrafting...

Book Reviews: Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Book Reviews: Anne Morrow Lindbergh

You've heard of Charles Lindbergh--everyone has. But I find his wife far more intriguing. Anne Morrow Lindbergh was one of the most eloquent and moving writers of her time--and of the current time. Every book is worth reading for a multitude of reasons.

Book Review: The Letter

My copy of the paperback, as happens with books that stir my mind, is dog-eared and notated throughout.The premise is a letter delivered upon the death of a woman where she tells an elderly man that he has a son—a son raised with a Christian fervor that excludes every other religion as inferior and requiring elimination.The catch? The elderly man is Jewish.

Bosch is still working as a volunteer detective with the San Fernando Police Department, where they’re called to the double vicious murder of father and son pharmacists. Current case in place, Bosch is also dealing with the newly contested conviction of a cruel killer he put away thirty years ago. Step into the story and enjoy a speedy, twisted ride.

Book Review: The Late Show

Book Review: The Late Show

In my reviews of Connelly's work I have often said that he does not always write a well-rounded female character. They are often minor players, there to support a male character. Yet there are times, such as with Bosch’s daughter, Maddy and her mother, Rachel, that they are intriguing and can stand on their own merits. With The Late Show and Renee Ballard is, perhaps, the start of something new. Is Renee rather confusing and rough around the edges? A little. But I have hope and feel it would be wrong to be hypercritical of a worthwhile author who has taken this gamble on a new series ... Doing that takes guts.

Book Review: Jeri Walker’s “Such is Life”

Book Review: Jeri Walker’s “Such is Life”

Knowing Jeri Walker from her blog (writing & editing), I had to read this book. The stories are hard hitting and leave you emotionally tied to the characters. Having also read Jeri's "The Two Yosemites," a travelogue, "Such is Life" is a drastically different...

Book Review: The Devil’s Architect

The Devil’s Architect By Duncan Simpson Straight from the start, The Devil’s Architect follows the pace and thrills found in the first of the trilogy: The History of Things to Come. Mr. Simpson continues to write in an eloquent style missing from most fiction these...

Book Review: The Wrong Side of Goodbye (Harry Bosch)

The Wrong Side of Goodbye by Michael Connelly My tough reviewing crumbled under the absolute perfection of this novel. I thought The Crossing was the best Harry Bosch to date—well, it was, but then came The Wrong Side of Goodbye. Bosch has been forced into retirement...

Book Review: The History of Things to Come

The History of Things to Come By Duncan Simpson Duncan Simpson writes descriptively in a style not seen very much anymore. It took me a chapter or two to get over my impatience as he used more words to say things than today’s typical novelist. By then, I was fully...
