BOOK REVIEW: Homecoming by Kate Hasbrouck

Fair warning: I know this author, and have known her for a very long time. However, since my deal was that I would give her a fair review, I have attempted to remove all bias I have, and am critiquing only the work. (It helps that I haven't actually seen her in a long time.) … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Homecoming by Kate Hasbrouck

*SPOTLIGHT HOST* Book Review – Struck

I've often seen blog tours for one thing or another—learning about a blogger, promoting a new book, something else—but I've not often had a chance to be a part of one. When I saw the offer to be a contributor on the tour for STRUCK, I jumped. I'd never heard of the author, let alone … Continue reading *SPOTLIGHT HOST* Book Review – Struck

Book Review – Since You’ve Been Gone

I received a copy of this novel via NetGalley in return for an honest review. I've had a little bit of a hit-or-miss vibe with the books I've gotten from NetGalley. Sometimes they're lovely, other times they're The Chase. But I've had better luck with their young adult stuff than I have the rest, so … Continue reading Book Review – Since You’ve Been Gone

BOOK REVIEW: MANIFESTATION by Jason Cantrell

When I named a character in one of my projects Gabby because the name came to mind due to listening to Jason Cantrell talk about his main character all the time, I decided that I should probably read the book the name came from. Well, that and the fact that I've been chatting with Jason … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: MANIFESTATION by Jason Cantrell

Book Review: The Dark Space Between

It's really a pleasure to write this review, as I'm a colleague of the author and have been working with them in one fashion or another for a few years now. This is K. Baisley's premiere novel, and one that I know has been a long time in progress. Of course, when I heard that … Continue reading Book Review: The Dark Space Between

Book Review: The Great Gatsby

I was talking to someone online who'd checked out my blog and really appreciated my review of To Kill a Mockingbird, and noted that he'd really enjoy seeing my take on The Great Gatsby.  Anyone who knows me knows full well that this is not a challenge I can pass by. For years, I absolutely loathed Gatsby. I … Continue reading Book Review: The Great Gatsby

Book Review: A Woman in Berlin

This is a review written for my 4th semester of grad school, in which I was asked specifically to focus not only on the book itself, but how you approach the book as a writer.  I'm not often one to read nonfiction books. I can't say there's a specific reason why, but I suppose more … Continue reading Book Review: A Woman in Berlin

Book Review: The Once and Future King

This is a review written for my 4th semester of grad school, in which I was asked specifically to focus not only on the book itself, but how you approach the book as a writer.  Despite being an avid fan of such movies as Monty Python and the Holy Grail, until now I hadn't read … Continue reading Book Review: The Once and Future King

Book “Review” – To Kill a Mockingbird

I put the word "review" in quotes because I find it very difficult to put myself in any kind of position where it could even be dreamed of that I would be worthy to take apart this novel. Yes, I've tackled classics before (maybe someday I'll show you all my "review" of The Great Gatsby) … Continue reading Book “Review” – To Kill a Mockingbird
