This author has a way of taking the drama to the next level and still managing to provide a cliff hanger that brings you back for the next in the series. SYNOPSIS Dark schemes unfoldโand Sophieโs loyalty... Continue Reading →

Cybils Awards – I’m a Round One Judge!
I cannot believe they picked me. Even though I was a Round One Judge for middle grade last year, I was sure I wouldn't be selected this year. I think enjoyed myself so much last year, I knew what I would be missing this year if not chosen. I haven't hit refresh on a webpage... Continue Reading →

Nonfiction Book Review: The Organized Mind by Daniel J. Levitin

Stuffed full of examples how we are consuming too much information, the book was solidly scientific but offered scant advise on how to actually make your life easier. SYNOPSIS New York Timesย bestselling author and... Continue Reading →
