Review: Sadly, when I hear the name Ross I automatically think of Friends Ross Geller. Poor pathetic Ross who for ten years pines over Rachel. Ross Poldark by Winston Graham could have easily fallen into this mold, pining for Elizabeth for the next ten books. Fortunately we are spared. I am a sucker for melodrama, […]

First Impressions By reading the title Snow White Must Die, one would think it Nele Neuhaus has written a was a Snow White retelling. It is dark like Grimm’s Tale, but the comparison stops there. Impressions While Reading Pia and Oliver were fantastic detective characters. Their star power as a team reminded me of Rob […]

It is another opportunity to knock some books off my tbr, (I’ve managed a pathatic two so far) the only hitch is that they must have a beach settting.

First Impressions The Bishop’s Wife by Mette Ivie Harrison could have been a good mystery novel if it focused on the murder of Carrie Helm. Impressions While Reading Biddy Linda Wallheim, amateur sleuth took center stage. She had to insert her nose into everything Gladys Kravitz style. What most annoyed me was her obsession with […]
“Classic’ – a book which people praise and don’t read.” Spoken by Mark Twain these words could not be truer. Classics I feel are the basis for popular art, think of the constant spewing of Jane Austen retellings or adaptations of Shakespeare because these stories are timeless and have transcended centuries. I have my comfort […]
The Far End of Happy was an intense read and never knew what Jeff would do next, nor the repercussions that Ronnie’s decisions created. It had page-turning chapter endings and thoroughly kept my attention, but, unfortunately, Ronnie’s mother Beverly and Mother-in-law Janet bickered throughout the novel creating a Jerry Springer show vibe, minus throwing chairs.
