Our Bookbag title today is from a genre I don’t often read – women’s fiction. I chose to read this one, In the Context of Love by Linda Sienkiewicz, partly because I’ve come to know Linda via the interwebs over the years and partly because it’s been a finalist for several awards (this list comes…

Today’s book is one I read years ago and is one of my favorites: His Majesty’s Dragon by Naomi Novik. It’s a historical fantasy story that takes place during the Napoleonic wars and stars an English Captain, but the primary difference between the real deal and this book is in the book, the battling countries…

Today’s review is one I’ve looked forward to writing more than others because it’s unlike anything else I’ve read. Allow me to introduce you to The Gospel According to Satan by Daniel Ferguson. I beta read it in January, and having grown up in an evangelical family, I can safely say this book will ruffle plenty…

Today is the last of three consecutive days of memoir/self-help type books (they coincidentally happened that way). Today’s Bookbag book is The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and Janet Mills. Like yesterday’s book, it’s a wildly popular best seller (on the NYT bestseller list for over a decade, according to the description on Amazon).…

While I read many indie books, sometimes I indulge in a trendy best-seller if it catches my interest. I mean, it’s popular for a reason, right? Hopefully, that reason is it’s a great read. Now, we all know some duds make it to the top. I’ve put down a handful of acclaimed books for various…

Yeah, I cheated a little with this one. But there aren’t numbers in the alphabet so I figured I could get away with it. Our Bookbag book that starts with D but not really is 100 Days of Solitude by Daphne Kapsali. This wonderful book is a memoir, wherein Kapsali records her experiences each day…

The C title I chose for the Bookbag is my most recent read, in that I’m not technically finished reading it. My Kindle says I’m 87% finished and OH GOD HOW DOES IT END?? HOW?? Sorry. I’ll pull myself together. The next book in the Bookbag is Crow Vector by Lou Cadle. Crow Vector is a…

Welcome to Day 2 of our Bookbag tour, which brings us to Blamed by Dana Griffin. As you may have discerned from the cover, Blamed is an airline thriller. It stars Bill Kurz, a veteran airline pilot who begins his story in the cockpit of his crashed airplane. The crushing pain radiating up from my…

Welcome to Day 1 of the A-Z Bookbag, where I’ll spend the month of April discussing books I’ve read and enjoyed. If you’ve read the book, add your thoughts in the comments. If you haven’t and it looks interesting, add it to your TBR pile (what’s one more book, right?). Clicking the linked title will…
