The Rabbit Back Literature Society by Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen

Part of the joy in reading comes from perspectives: from the author, from the characters they create, and even their cultural differences. Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen has created a story that, at the outset, feels very light and fun, but not unlike the more sanitized stories from the Brothers Grimm, hold a darker edge just below that surface. A story that is almost pure magical realism in feel, there is a touch of mystery and some psychological games mixed in the twisty plot.

Book Review:

Poignantly depicting the ramifications of ‘A Small Indiscretion’ on life many years later, Jan Ellison uses flashback retelling and current concerns to follow the life of Annie, and how she believes her choices made at 19 years of age are affecting her life now some 21 years later. Read more

Since You’ve Been Gone by Mary Jennifer Payne

Another debut novelist on the blog today with a story that will appeal to teens & tweens ….

Book Review:

I’ve been back and forth while writing this review, wondering just what was prodding me to be uneasy with the story. Mary Jennifer Payne writes beautifully: her descriptions and emotional impact is clear to see, and the character of Edie is instantly sympathetic whether an adult or teen is reading. Read more

The Flirting Games: The Flirting Series #1 by Stella Wilkinson

Let’s travel to a British boarding school, where the live-in students are learning their lessons in maths and language, but also lessons of life. Stella Wilkinson pens a solidly ‘teen’ read, with voices and attitudes most appropriate for the 13 – 18 year olds that are the focus of this story.

Book Review:

Every now and then I want a cozy mystery that has a premise that is a bit off the beaten path – and with a talking dog – this fit the bill perfectly. The writing team of Waverly Curtis created a fun and funny story full of people and the pets they love, with plenty of humor and a nice mystery to solve. Read more

Light My Fire: Dragon Kin #7 by G.A. Aiken

Book Review:

In the synopsis the ‘catch me’ line was “How could she not when I am just so damn charming?” Well, they were right – this story is damnably charming, and I am thrilled to have been given the opportunity at a new to me author. Did I mention that I giggled, chuckled and even laughed out loud repeatedly? I just may have done that without caring who was looking or commenting. Honestly, there were few times that Celyn spoke that I didn’t want to laugh. Read more

A Second Bite at the Apple by Dana Bate

Book Review:

When choosing a book, most often it is the cover that encourages me to read more – then I look at the synopsis. If I have an ‘ooh moment’ there, then I’m grabbing the title. With a foodie / romance / chick lit theme, I just couldn’t resist this title.

And Dana Bate did not disappoint. Far from being a passive read that just entertains, the protagonist, Sydney is teetering between funny and confident and a hot mess: from being let go from her job, to finding a new position for a rather difficult boss, but in the food industry that she so desperately wants to break in to, her trajectory and learning curve in this book are amazing.

AudioBook Review: Juliet’s Nurse by Lois Leveen

AudioBook Review:

A story told in two parts from the wet-nurse cum companion and dedicated servant to Juliet Cappelletti, Lois Leveen has taken a unique twist to present a viewpoint on Shakespeare’s classic Romeo and Juliet.

The predominant voice is that of Angelica, recently having lost her own daughter Susanna, she is put forward as a suitable wet-nurse for the newly born Juliet. Angelica is far more direct and un-stinting in her speech, her lack of euphemisms for bodily functions and refusal to be embarrassed about bodily functions, as well as her rather bawdy discussions Read more
