I thought it would be fun to rank some of the books I read in 2016 according to various categories.  I read 82 books this past year, and some I definitely enjoyed more than others.  This was one, if not the most, prolific year of reading I can recall.  Let's get right to it, shall […]

Time for some Fall book reviews!  I read these books in October, November and December and hope you will enjoy some of them as much as I did. By the author of "Wayward Pines", "Dark Matter" is a suspenseful and strange novel that takes place in not just one, but several parallel universes.  I've never […]

I picked up a new book recently that I wanted to share with you.  If you enjoy Civil War Reproduction fabrics and quilt projects, I think you might really appreciate these books by Carol Hopkins.  The first book I ordered was the most recent one, Civil War Legacies III.  I enjoyed it so much I […]

The following books are ones I enjoyed, but maybe are not the literary quality of the ones from yesterday's post. Lisa Gardner is a prolific author, whose books I am currently obsessing over.  I started with her Detective D.D. Warren series and have read the following, one after the other:  Alone, Hide, The Neighbor, Live […]

I've read some really good books since the beginning of the year, and thought I would share my favorites with you.  The books listed below were my absolute favorites.  I joined the Book of the Month Club in February, and have been enjoying it so much.  These days, you pre-pay for your year's membership (they […]

This will be a longer post than usual.  As you know, I am an avid reader and love to share some of the books I have enjoyed from time to time.  If you are interested in hearing about some good books, grab yourself a cup of coffee and make yourself comfy for awhile! Girl Underwater […]
