Welcome to my blog!

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." -Dr. Seuss

Thanks for stopping by. I really hope that you take something away from this blog, even if it's just a book recommendation that leads you to a new series or new author that you will enjoy. I know that by keeping this blog, it's encouraging me to try new genres and to expand my horizons as far as reading new books, rereading old, and I'm even inspired to read the classics that I've missed. Because I'm a mom of four, I'll also be adding children's books into my reviews as I try to spend time reading with my kids on a regular basis. So why not review those as well and share them with you?

Books, for me, have always been great escapes. I remember being stranded on the island with the Swiss Family Robinson when I was 10 years old and it was a great place to be as I was having a rough childhood at the time. I flew away with Peter Pan and traveled with Meg through wrinkles in time, in Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time. Now that I mostly read 'grown up' books, I don't travel to islands but I do live in someone else's world (or mind) for a while and it's a great way to get away from it all even if for a short time every day.

Enjoy my blog and as always, happy reading!

Club Dead by Charlaine Harris




Club Dead
by Charlaine Harris













The next book in the Sookie Stackhouse saga. I'm not going to give thorough reviews any longer because they all seem to read the same way. Easy and enjoyable reads.





I liked this story alot, same as the others, but there was one element that bothered me a tiny bit. Sookie let Vampire Bill take advantage of her to a certain degree. There was a good explanation for it...that I know from reading the other books and the knowledge I have of vampire relationships (haha) but if you picked this one up first (which technically you do not have to read these in order as they don't seem to be numbered per se) you would think Sookie was an idiot and Vampire Bill was a typical jerk of a cheatin' man.

So yes, it's a good story and if you like the first few, keep reading...this actually added some more characters that were likeable, gave more depth to the Sookie/Eric relationship and gave "Bubba" a bigger role as his former self. LOL.

No Star rating on these anymore...only on the ones that are not part of the Sookie stories!

Happy Reading!
