The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern by Lilian Jackson Braun My rating: 4 of 5 stars Background The summer after I graduated from college, I started missing regular reading… during school, I had less personal choice and recreational reads, as all the college textbooks and novels were the priority. IContinue Reading
All That Remains by Patricia Cornwell My rating: 4 of 5 stars The “Kay Scarpetta” mystery series by Patricia Cornwell was one of the first adult mystery book series I began reading. I also started these very young, around 13 or 14, which may not be the best thing forContinue Reading
Beowulf by Unknown My rating: 4 of 5 stars Beowulf is thought to have been written around the year 1000 AD, give or take a century. And the author is the extremely famous, very popular and world renowned writer… Unknown. Got you there, didn’t I? LOL Probably not… if you’reContinue Reading
The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie My rating: 4 of 5 stars If you’ve read my reviews before, you know I love mystery fiction, and in particular, the classics. Agatha Christie died in 1976, and I was born the following year. Two things come to mind… (1) It’sContinue Reading
The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown My rating: 4 of 5 stars Dan Brown is one of my favorite authors. I know there are several of my online and in-person (sounds so weird!) friends who disagree, but ultimately… you have to acknowledge the amount of time and dedication he putsContinue Reading

It was really a 3.4999999 and I had to unfortunately round down. Now that I’m reviewing more ARCs, I findContinue Reading
Explosive Eighteen by Janet Evanovich My rating: 3 of 5 stars After 18 books in this series, I can’t always give out a 4 just because I laugh so hard I nearly pee myself. Evanovich has to work harder and harder to keep the high mark stars… but in allContinue Reading
My rating: 3 of 5 stars to Jonathan Richards‘s book, Nick and Jake: An Epistolary Novel, published in 2012. I’m not ashamed to admit it, but I had to look up the word “epistolary,” as I had no clue what it meant. Usually I’m good at determining the meaning of aContinue Reading
