ReReview: Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon
Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon My rating: 5 of 5 stars The review below was from my first reading of the books. Now, because of the new series, Bone of My Bone (BOMB), I am reading and rewatching everything again. I am still so excited about the series. I finished this a couple of days ago and am already onto Voyager. I am still amazed at these books and shows. ~~~ If my mind has not been…
Re-review Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness
Shadow of Night by Deborah HarknessMy rating: 5 of 5 stars Below is the review I made the first time I read this book. I find it says more than I was planning to say. My current review would have just said how much I loved this time-travel adventure between the witch and her vampire husband. Check out the old review for the rest. ***** After a bit of research, I realized that I had read the first…

Review: The Secret Benefits of Invisibility by C.W. Allen
Review: The Secret Benefits of Invisibility by C.W. Allen
The Secret Benefits of Invisibility by C.W. Allen My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was just as fun as the first book in the series by C.W. Allen. Ivy Tara Blair (Narrator) is excellent at acting out the different characters. If you need a break from overly adult, angsty books, this book and the first one will make you feel better. I bet it would be a fun read-aloud book for parents and kids. I loved…

Review: The Book Woman's Daughter by Kim Michele Richardson
Review: The Book Woman’s Daughter by Kim Michele Richardson
The Book Woman’s Daughter by Kim Michele Richardson My rating: 4 of 5 stars I didn’t realize until the author’s note at the end of this book that this is book two of a series. So it can obviously stand alone. I was lucky to find it on Libby as an audiobook. I don’t know if the book reads with quite the accent of the narrator, Katie Schorr, but I think she adds authenticity to the story. I don’t…

Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is my second reading of the series. I noticed I haven’t changed my star rating. I’m still only giving it three stars. Jim Dale is part of the reason for this rating. His voice is suitable for all the males in the book but is horrid with the females. I do feel the grumpiness of Professor Minerva McGonagall and the…

The Believers by Katie French My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I finished this book a couple of days ago. Snow, elections, NaNoWriMo, and other distractions got in the way of my review. Sorry.
This is the second book of the Breeder series. The story of the girl looking for her mother and aunt continues. It is far from an easy feat. But Riley and her boyfriend and her brother try to find a way to them.

Review: So Bright the Stars by Cidney Swanson
So Bright the Stars by Cidney Swanson My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Yay! Another well-done sci-fi/Mars book! I would have loved to read this as a teen but love just as much as a septuagenarian. This is the second book in this series. The main character is now on Mars and is trying to fit in with the society that is already there.
Cidney Swanson has researched well to keep the story believable. Without…

Review: Earthseed Octavia E. Butler
Review: Earthseed Octavia E. Butler
This is my second reading of the first book of this box-set Find my first review here.
This reading, I was surprised at how current this dystopian story feels. It was only a year ago that I read the first book. Yet now, this seems so scarily close. The author died in 2009, so it was before all of this. How prescient!
As I mentioned in the previous review, I didn’t know what happened after the…
