My second-to-last post of mini-reviews for the year! This particular list contains first three books that were a solid four stars, then one that was merely three stars, and finishes with a whopping five stars. What are the books in question, you ask? Here you go! The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien Continuing my second read-through of The Lord of…

Five more books, and as always, it’s a wildly mixed bag! My reading habits are diverse, and I love that. We have everything from two- to five-star reads on this list! The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien Okay, so my relationship with these books is complicated. I absolutely love The Hobbit and have read it multiple times. The…

The particular period in which I read these five books was the early postpartum days with my third baby. I say this so that you can keep it in mind as you begin to notice a theme in these reviews — a lack of much retention! Between sleep deprivation (I read a few of these mostly in the middle of…

Another week, another list of five books I read last year, complete with one- or two-paragraph reviews of each. This week’s collection is, as usual, quite eclectic with some books I loved and some I most emphatically did not. Long Days of Small Things: Motherhood as a Spiritual Discipline by Catherine McNiel A friend gave me this one at my…

I’m back with five more 2021 book reviews, and this is a post I’m really excited about because all of the books on today’s list were such joys to read in such VERY different ways! Three of the five, as you’ll see, are rated five stars, which is an honor I bestow sparingly. And the four-star ones could more properly…

Finally here with five more mini-book reviews from last year! It’s been a very busy couple weeks, so I didn’t get around to posting one last week. But we are now more than halfway through last year’s book list! And as usual, today’s post is a very eclectic mix, but then, I’m a very eclectic reader. The Blue Castle by…

I’m here for five more 2021 book reviews! This post, as usual, contains quite an eclectic selection, and the books vary widely from among my favorite to definitely NOT favorites! Live Wire by Harlan Coben As has happened a few times, I ran out of audiobooks to listen to for awhile and chose one of the Harlan Coben books off…

Returning for five more mini book reviews for my 2021 reads! I’ve already read more books this year than I read last year total, so I’ll have lots more reviews for you next year! But one year at a time. Here are five more snippets of thought about the books I read last year. The First Four Years by Laura…
Have a Very Bookish Thanksgiving!
I don’t think I even posted last year when I released a novella as part of the A Very Bookish Thanksgiving collection! Last autumn, myself and some other authors did this project together and it was a really wonderful experience. This year, myself and some of the others are releasing our novellas as individual ebooks. Mine is called Grand Intentions,…

Well, you may notice that I did not return the next week for the last installment of my short reviews. Nor the next month. It is now more than eight months later! Shortly after the last post, I was busy with a family crisis, then “snowvid” hit — record low temperatures here in Texas — which caused a pipe to…
