The Child Book Review
One of the things that I didn’t realize when I was working on my review of The Widow by Fiona Barton was that it was the first in the Kate Waters trilogy.

Tesla: Inventor of the Modern Book Review
It has occurred to me that I have never reviewed a biography on this website.

The Great Alone Book Review
I rarely watch soap operas on a voluntary basis because they rely on over-the-top dramatics, dialogue, and acting, and there is only so much that I can take.

Imagine waking up on a spring morning. What is the first thing you hear besides your alarm? It will probably be a bird chirping or trilling.

This novel was a challenge in a way that I never would have expected. When I work on reviews, I usually look at what other people have said on Goodreads and Amazon. However, no one has evaluated this book, and this remains true to this very day. So enjoy the very first review of Richville,Continue reading “Book Reviews From the Vault: Richville, Another Tale of Travail and Treachery”
Once Upon A River Book Review
Every now and then, I will read a book that is good in every way but one. That aspect will bug me so much that it makes me like the overall book less.

I get a lot of requests to review books by various authors. Buy My Book: Not Because You Should, But Because I’d Like Some Money by John Marszalkowski was my favorite because it was the very first inquiry I got. It also helped me to open more doors in the book reviewing industry, and IContinue reading “Book Reviews From the Vault: Buy My Book, Not Because You Should, But Because I’d Like Some Money”
