Review 45: The Bear In A Muddy Tutu By Cole Alpaugh

Review 45: The Bear In A Muddy Tutu By Cole Alpaugh

By LK Gardner-Griffie on April 18, 2011

Who could resist a title like The Bear In A Muddy Tutu? Certainly not me. Then I glanced at a few sample pages and I was hooked. The beginning of the book was strongly evocative of Peter Hedge’s What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? with perhaps the characters of Gilbert and Arnie rolled into one.

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 30, 2011

Upon graduation from college, the road of life stretches in front of us. We have seemingly unlimited potential and just need to hop on the road and start moving forward.

Review 39: Hit List by Darcia Helle

By LK Gardner-Griffie on July 29, 2010

What would you do if you came to visit your mother one day and found her huddled in the closet, rocking back and forth, clutching a baby blanket tightly in her hand? And how does the confused and fearful woman connect to a mafia like-gang, drugs, a baby ring, sleezy cops, and an unknown assasin?

Anna Tan’s Review of Misfit McCabe

Anna Tan’s Review of Misfit McCabe

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 13, 2010

I am a voracious reader. Science fiction enthrals me, fantasy rivets me, romance gives me goose bumps and detective stories intrigue. There are books that grip me so that I can’t sleep until I find out the ending, and there are books that make me laugh out loud. However, very few books make me want to cry – LK Gardner-Griffie’s young adult novel, Misfit McCabe is definitely one of them.
