This is a very exciting month for me because I started the month with some of my favorite authors and characters. These books make great Christmas books for readers but real fans can’t wait that long! I used the picture above because I believe it’s important to support our authors and I am impressed that…
2014 Books of the YEAR!
2014 flew by! I was just reviewing the best books of the year and it seemed like I just read them yesterday! I was checking the stats for this blog and it looks like the most read post was last year’s Top 25 so I have decided to make a “Best Books of the Year”…
2014 in Review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,000 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 17 trips to carry that many people. Click here to see the…
Nov 2014 Book Reviews
Kind of a slow reading month for me. I blame it on a couple of things including traveling a lot but I think the main cause is that I now need reading glasses 😦 I read on my commute to work and I was getting a headache everyday that didn’t seem to go away. After…
October 2014 Book Reviews
The final book in Ken Follett’s Century trilogy was released this month and I couldn’t put it down. After I finished it I posted this on my Facebook page “Edge of Eternity was one of the most emotional books I have read in a LONG time! The last 40 years of the 1900’s were jammed packed…
September 2014 Book Reviews
Two amazing series ended this month. They were long but in the “it can never be long enough” way that fans of Harry Potter and Game of Thrones understand. There is always the sense of loss after a great series but unlike a breakup or your favorite restaurant closing the books will always be there….
August 2014 Book Reviews
After visiting the Mob museum last month in Vegas I got super interested in books about the mob – even one of the “beach” reads was mob related. Most of them were really long though so I didn’t read as many books as I thought I would…AND… I was more social than normal during…
July 2014 Book Reviews
I ran away from home for the 4th of July. I live near San Francisco and it’s true…the summer’s are cold (the coldest winter was a summer spent in San Francisco)! I went to Las Vegas to warm up and to sit by the pool and read. I read ten books in five days! When…
June 2014 Book Reviews
I don’t know where this picture came from originally but four different people sent it to me on Facebook. For those of you who don’t recognize the beat, it’s Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-A-Lot era 1992. The original talks about women with big butts so both the original and this version apply to me….
May 2014 Book Reviews
I officially hit the 1000 book mark on Goodreads this month! I know I have read more but being official means a lot. Besides where was Goodreads 30 years ago when I started reading. I am sure there are many books that I can’t even remember I have read. I know there is one series…
April 2014 Craisie Book Reviews
This was definitely me last weekend. I had finished The Cairo Affair before lunch but needed something to read for lunch so I started The King. OMG…I couldn’t put it down! I had so much work to do but I couldn’t stop reading. It was 551 pages and I read it until I couldn’t keep…
March 2014 Craisie Book Reviews
With all the rain that we have had and the fact that my favorite authors released new books I have stayed up later than normal this month. The Chase by Janet Evanovich NYPD Red2 by James Patterson The Undead Pool by Kim Harrison The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker Cress by Marissa Meyer…
