He tells his colleague, Inspector Mike Burden, about the murder of Elise Caroll, which happened when he was new to the force. Eric Targo, the murderer has stalked Wexford, almost taunting him about […]
The “Edge of Doom” is Elizabeth Horrocks’ debut book. It is an Arthurian novel with a difference. The characters of Ellie Tollet and Lance Poole meet up in a computer class at their local education college and then travel back through time. Each period of time they visit is brought to life through the happenings […]
One of my Christmas presents this year was a lovely book, “Midnight Fugue” by Reginald Hill. He’s one of my favourite authors and he created the Dalziel and Pascoe police pairing often seen on TV.
The story is set over a twenty four hour period and Dalziel is back at work after recovering from a bomb […]
If you, like me, count the days until Starbucks rolls out the red cups every year, you will love Holiday Grind the latest in the Coffeehouse Mysteries by Cleo Coyle.
Published on November 9th, the newest installment in the chronicles of Clare Cosi and the Village Blend cafe is set at Christmas time - and […]
Libba Bray is funny, sassy, and amazingly talented. She’s also a phenomenal writer of vastly entertaining YA novels, the most recent of which is Going Bovine. She recently sat down with us to answer a few questions. We hope you enjoy her responses as much as we did.
We all know you as the author of […]
It was the spring of 1997 and I was treating one of my dearest friends and colleague, after hours in my clinic after a long day of seeing very complicated orthopedic medicine and chronic pain patients. Ron was a 57 year old psychologist who was scheduled the following morning to have a thoracotomy performed […]
“Do you have a sense that the world is about to change forever?” the back of this book asks. “Do you believe that you’re here on Earth to assist that global shift? Have you ever noticed magical abilities to see, feel, hear, move and transduce energy?”
If you’ve answered yes to these and other questions […]
Prayers for Sale, like other books of mine, deals with redemption. I’d never thought much about that until you asked me to write about “lost and found.” Lost and found is what redemption is all about. The dictionary—I just checked this—defines redemption as the act of setting free or rescuing or ransoming. […]
A guest review by Becca Rowan
Three professional women living in New York City, navigating the trials and tribulations of career problems, relationship disasters, and the expectations of high society, while re-inventing their lives in meaningful and often surprising ways – what could be more different from the life of this reader, a middle aged woman […]
A guest-review by Seana Duncan
Jennifer Weiner can always be counted on for a good, hearty read. Something you can curl up with on a rainy Saturday or breeze through on a lounge chair poolside. Her latest novel, Best Friends Forever released July 14, 2009, doesn’t disappoint.
Our heroine is Addie Downs, an overweight, socially awkward young […]
This month in our REVIEWS section, I reviewed the latest offering from the fabulously funny Jennifer Weiner, Certain Girls . This novel is a mother-daughter story, that’s also a sequel to Weiner’s very first novel, Good in Bed.
In honor of Mother’s Day, and because the nice folks at Atria Books have made it possible, we […]
My beautiful daughter had read this book and passed it on to me. In this way I try authors that perhaps I wouldn’t have chosen in a bookshop or a library. Reading new authors is always exciting and this author is no different.
Simon Kernick’s book is very readable. The main character Tom Meron is likeable […]
I managed to get through my heavy bridesmaid duty years unscathed. My brides were very laid back, chose gowns that flattered my figure, and one of them even asked me not to plan a bridal shower because she found them annoying. I was lucky.
For those who aren’t or weren’t quite as fortunate as me, Liz […]
I’ve read a lot of business books over the years, but only a few make the cut as books I’d recommend to a colleague, friend, or family member. Here are some of my favorites:
Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen
There’s a saying that if you want something done, give it to […]
P.D. James is the Queen of Crime writers (in my modest opinion) and her Adam Dalgleish novels have been successfully televised for many years. She writes characters that are believable shades of grey and draws you in to understand the motive behind the latest murder.
Her most recent novel, “The Private Patient” is set in a […]
I thought it would be a fun change of pace to do a review as a comparison between a book and movie, as opposed to our regular book review format. Over my winter break, I watched my brother’s girlfriend with her head buried in a book. She was entranced with the novel, The Other Boleyn […]
