I currently have a Goodreads Giveaway running for Ronnie, book #5 in the Between the Cracks series. (Ronnie is currently available for preorder on Kindle, and will be released soon) Ronnie is a sequel to Ruby, Between the Cracks which won the In the Margin Top Ten Books for Teens award ...

I am reading Guilt by Jonathan Kellerman. I think this is my second Kellerman book, and I am enjoying the twists and turns as they close in on the killer and what really happened.  ...

What are you doing to make 2018 great for you? Do you have a special project planned for the new year? A goal you are working toward? Maybe you want to learn a new skill, develop a healthy habit, reconnect with friends or family, or check something off of your bucket list ...

I don't read a lot of memoirs, but this is one that caught my eye. Jeffrey Archer is a bestselling fiction author, but he has also published nonfiction accounts of the time he spent in prison for a perjury conviction. Interesting reading if you want to hear some of the details of life behind bars. I just recently started the first book, A Prison Diary, and so far it is very interesting reading.  ...

I love the Icelandic tradition of giving books on Christmas Eve and spending the night reading, a practice known as Jolabokaflod, or the "Christmas Book Flood." What a great idea! Just to make sure that you have something to read for Christmas Eve, I have pulled together a collection of free, $0.99, deeply discounted, or Christmas-themed books for your Christmas Eve or holiday season reading! ...

My new book today is Blue Labyrinth, a Pendergast mystery by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. I haven't read any other books in this series, but it has some great, eclectic characters and I have been enjoying it. If you like Sherlock Holmes and Ellery Queen, I think you'll like this one ...

I am currently reading a book in the Decker/Lazarus Novels series by Faye Kellerman. Bone Box is book 25 in the series, just release in March this year. I am about a quarter of the way through, and so far am enjoying the twists and turns of the cold case investigation. ...

I'm currently working on All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr. This little book (545 pages, according to Amazon) is a Pulitzer Prize winner. I don't read a lot of war stories, but this one intrigued me. Two children whose lives are on a collision course. Opposite sides of the war, connected by radio waves, but unknown to each other. It's been a pretty good book so far, though the multiple points of view from multiple timelines can be confusing at times.  ...

Trapped in a cycle of abuse and manipulation, Ronnie attempts to escape her past and build a stable future for herself. A heartbreaking story and powerful message. ...

Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce series is new to me, and I'm glad I picked this one up. The Dead in their Vaulted Arches is apparently #6 in the series, though Amazon doesn't tell you the volume number, so you have to go to another site to find out! I am enjoying reading about this precocious little poisoner—er, amateur detective—and her family, friends, and enemies. Flavia is in the sad circumstance of trying to solve her long-lost mother's murder, but she seems to be up to the task.  ...

It's Cyber Monday, and I have put Mito, the first book in the Medical Kidnap Files on for $0.99 on Kindle for today only! ...

Unless you or a close friend is afflicted with Non-24-hour sleep–wake disorder (N24), you have probably never heard of this circadian rhythm disorder, which can be debilitating to those who suffer from it ...

Allergen-Free Assignation, the latest book in the Auntie Clem's Bakery series is free for Thanksgiving through Black Friday and Cyber Monday! I have other deals coming up Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so come back and see them! ...

I picked up the second book in Lois Lowry's Giver Quartet, Gathering Blue. Lowry has a way with words, and I am quite enjoying the story. I love her characters and the way she describes the communities they live in. It's easy to fall in love with Kira and young Matt.  ...

Book Three of Auntie Clem's Bakery, Allergen-Free Assignation is available today! Erin Price, gluten-free baker turned sleuth, is happy to be dabbling in a murder that this time is too old and too cold for her to be considered a suspect. As Erin begins to unearth the buried secrets of Bald Eagle Falls, she is forced to confront her own family’s dark history, a history which she knows little about. But there are others in the small town who are interested in the Price family; people who are determined to end her investigation at any cost.  ...

I just finished a new (to me) James Patterson thriller, Private Down Under. I have read a couple of the other Private books, and quite enjoyed them. This one wasn't quite up to the same standard as the usual Private titles. There were three separate cases, and I thought that at some point they were going to intersect, but they did not. They were just three separate, unrelated cases. Besides that, there was a strange combination of metric and Imperial measurements in the book. ...
