Greetings, fellow readers! It's great to be back from my hiatus with a blog tour stop and giveaway for Layover by David Bell. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit this but, for whatever reason, I hadn't read any of his previous books. On the brighter side, that only made me more excited to read this one so I could see for myself what all the fuss is about. And see, I do! We start off with our ...

Review: The Bird Tribunal by Agnes Ravatn
I'm off to Book Expo later this morning but wanted to sneak in one more post before I go. This one is long overdue owing, for the most part, to my lack of technical skills. There is really no excuse but, you see, this is the first time I have successfully installed a Mobi file onto my Kindle. I will not say how long it took.My previous attempts all ended in frustration and wine. This time, ...
Blog Tour and Giveaway: The French Girl by Lexie Elliott
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The French Girl by Lexie Elliott! I love an unreliable narrator and one that come with a whole host of suspect friends is even better!

So basically he's a little nerdy, very smart, and, because he's now been drawn in to a murder investigation, a bit of a rogue Magnum, P.I. I'm not one for bookish crushes but if I were, he'd be a candidate. Next, there's the plot. What starts out as one dead ...
Review: The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen
As my Aunt Betty would have said, "HOLY MARY, MOTHER O' GOD!" Just when I thought I understood what was going on, along came Part 2 and I'm begging for confirmation that my head is spinning in the right direction. The Wife Between Us was exactly what I needed to get me out of my two-book DNF reading slump. It started out a bit slowly which concerned me for the first few chapters but I now ...
Review of “Inherit the Bones” by Emily Littlejohn
"...I've always thought there are currents running through our world and our lives, threads if you will, that touch and connect all things. Events, years after they've happened, leave faint fingerprints that linger and change the surface of places over time." A murdered clown. An unknown murder weapon. A surprise ID. A pregnant lead investigator. Her partner with questionable professional ethics. ...
