Review 35: Okay by Katherine Marple

Review 35: Okay by Katherine Marple

Sixteen is a pivotal age, stranded between childhood and adulthood. At sixteen life ranges from ecstasy to despair and the cause of the emotion can be trivial or momentous. I remember wanting to be taken seriously, to be treated more as an adult than a child.

Review 32: I Rode With Cullen Baker by RLB Hartmann

Review 32: I Rode With Cullen Baker by RLB Hartmann

As I Rode with Cullen Baker opens, we are met with a scene evocative of Gone with the Wind with Tara burning in the background. Set in the South in the midst of the civil war, fifteen year old Jessica Linville watched while the Federal cavalry burned her house to the ground.

Review 30: Death at Disney by Julio J. Vazquez

Review 30: Death at Disney by Julio J. Vazquez

From the very first word, Death at Disney evoked a strong sense of the 1950’s cop show, Dragnet. Not because the story is a period piece, but while I read the opening I could hear the narrator for Dragnet in my mind, becoming the voice of the main character, private investigator, Albert Cummings.

Review 29: Leah by J. M. Reep

Review 29: Leah by J. M. Reep

Have you ever been in a situation in which you have been uncomfortable? Where you don’t know what to say? Or, when faced with a new task tend to panic? If you understand any of those feelings, think how Leah Nells feels, because every minute of every day is a struggle for her to get through.

Review 28: Shadowland (The Mediator, Book 1) by Meg Cabot

Review 28: Shadowland (The Mediator, Book 1) by Meg Cabot

Right off the bat, I’ll ‘fess up – I’ve come to the Meg Cabot party a little late. Meg started writing her young adult novels after I had already passed through that stage of my life and in fact after I had written my first young adult novel. After taking a too long break from writing, I am back to it and forging ahead, and along with that, I am reading more than ever. I knew I wanted to read some of Meg Cabot’s work, but didn’t want to start with the Princess Diaries series as it was ten books in length, and knowing me, I would have to read them all one right after the other and I had a book of my own to write.

Minnie: In the Footlights

Minnie: In the Footlights

One of the things I absolutely love about reviewing books, is I get to hear from excited authors about fun things that are happening with their work. Sometimes it might be an upswing in sales, or interviews which help broaden the exposure.
