For this blog tour, we're looking at a book I haven't had a chance to read yet (see below), but which sounds very promising. For this blog tour, we're looking at The Liz Taylor Ring by Brenda Janowitz.
Life Is Messy And Beautiful And That Is What Makes It So Wondrous. The title here is ultimately the message of the book - that no matter how messed up things get or seem, there is also great beauty to be found even in some of the most messed up situations one finds themselves in. The true power of the tale lies in its ability to show how even at our most broken - both visible and not so visible - families can still come together and work through differences. Truly an excellent look at a few different generations of very broken characters in a wide variety of ways and how they all come together. Very much recommended.

For this blog tour, we're looking at a book I haven't had a chance to read yet (see below), but which sounds very promising. For this blog tour, we're looking at A Lullaby For Witches by Hester Fox.
Gothic. Witchy. Near Perfect Blend Of Historical And Modern. This is one of those witch tales that blends the modern and the historical particularly well - in this case, via a ghost witch. We see her travails in her own mortal time in the middle of the 19th century... and we also get a remarkable view of the life of a museum worker in 21st century New England as well. How these two blend - and why - is what makes this book so remarkable. Fans of Nick Winters' Hollywood Scent will particularly love this, as both books share a particularly creepy finale mechanism (and indeed have similar *general* arcs blending historical and current). Overall a great creepy witch tale, perfect for cold gray days by a campfire. Very much recommended.
