Solid Examination Of The Topic Told Mostly Via The Stories Of Those Involved. To be a bit more precise, if the topic at hand is "the rise and fall of the death penalty" throughout the United States generally... this book doesn't fare as well. While it does make va

Doan Does It Again. I titled my review of Doan's LADY SUNSHINE "Cinematic" and my review of her THE SUMMER LIST "The Boys Of Summer", and I can tell you that despite the few years away, Doan has not lost a single step in he

Wild NYC 80s Romp. I really can't say enough great about this book. The fact that I was able to read it at least partially in a not-so-smoke-filled cigar lounge made it even better personally, if only because it made it that much eas

WWII Historical Fiction *Action* Book. *With A Bibliography*! Yes, you read that right. Not only do we get a kick ass action/ adventure tale set during WWII, but this one is so accurate that it actually has a bibliography longer tha

Negative On Everything. Straight up, this is the most depressing book I've ever read other than The Road by Cormac McCarthy - which is the singular *worst* book I've ever read. Kendzior's all-encompassing and ever present sense of doom drips from every page, and it is truly exhausting to even read a book that is this utterly bleak.

For this blog tour, we're looking at yet another solid entry in this (loose) series. For this blog tour, we're looking at The Spanish Daughter by Soraya Lane.

First, the review I posted to the book sites (BookHype.com / Goodreads.com /

Excellent - And Short-ish - Tale Of The Power Of Friendship And Community. In this latest entrant in this saga of four

Did Carpenter Steal My Life? (No, She Didn't.) Hmmm... a book set in the real-life Bartow County (if in a fictional town within it) along the real-life Etowah River and some real-life roads (and some fictional ones). Featuring a veteran of a war named Major. Where an old Confederate area mine plays a major role. With (fictional) long-time area families being a key component of the story.

And I, a reader who is a native of the real Bartow County, whose great-grandfather was a WWI POW named Major, who went to high school not far off one of the roads in question (which runs through the northern section of Bartow County in real life, fwiw), who knows exactly where the real-life Cooper's Furnace and several area mines (including several similar to the fictiona
