Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
Have you ever started a great book and had it interrupted by a cold or some other bug that sneaks up on you quickly? That was me reading Haunted Warrior. I started it just as I was starting to feel slightly under the weather. It was a perfect distraction until the fever kicked in, and... Continue Reading →
I have never met a book by Ms. Cates that I didn't love. Yes, I mean "met." Her storytelling and story-building skills are so well-honed that I find myself quickly wrapped up in the worlds she creates.

I love it when books cause me to picture scenes in them days after I finish them. Beautifully written, The Secret Gift is one of those books! I found it thoroughly engrossing and devoured it quickly. Days later, images from the story popped into my head randomly and made me smile. I did, however, have... Continue Reading →
When I read the description of this book, it grabbed my attention so much that I immediately read the first two in the series. I am so glad I did. Although A Touch of Magic stands well on its own, reading the first two added more depth to an otherwise wonderful story. Ms. Boucher's writing... Continue Reading →
I love Cynthia Wright's writing style. However, I was a little wary when I first started reading His Fiery Angel. When we first meet Camille, "fiery" is an understatement. To be honest, she drove me a little nuts…at first. Benedict had me intrigued at his first interaction with Camille. However, when he returned to his... Continue Reading →
For most people, yesterday was just May 4, 2024. Hopefully, for those, it was an ordinary Saturday. For the rest of us, yesterday was May the 4th, also known as Star Wars Day. (May the 4th be with you!) And for some lucky few, it was a day to reminisce about a time (or two,... Continue Reading →
