Welcome to Booksie's Blog! I write reviews of what I've read, some of which were books sent by publishers or authors. If you would like for me to read and review your book, please contact me. I'd love to have the chance to review for you although I don't usually read to deadlines. My email address is skirkland@triad.rr.com I can't accept everything but I do read and review everything I accept. I average about 10-12 reviews a month. I tend to favor physical books over ebooks for review.

Booksie's Shelves, June 11, 2014
Summer is here, along with lots of heat which makes for long reading days. We're in the throes of hopefully the final SAT and then ACT this weekend and my daughter is already reading books for her senior English class. I'm about to explore the only dental procedure I've never had, an implant after a crown came off and the root is broken. I'm nervous about this one. Still, there are always books to take one's mind off one's woes. Here's what's come through the door:
1. Girl Underwater, Claire Kells, literary fiction, sent by publisher
2. Ally Hughes Has Sex Sometimes, women's fiction, sent by publisher
3. Taking Leaps And Finding Ghosts, Janet DeLee, mystery, sent by author
4. Music For Wartime, Rebecca Makkai, anthology, sent by publisher
5. The Sunrise, Victoria Hislop, literary fiction, sent for book tour
6. Arm Of The Sphinx, Josiah Bancroft, fantasy, sent by author
I'm currently reading:
1. The Innovators, Walter Issacson, Kindle
2. A Dance For Dragons, George R. R. Martin, hardback
4. Barracuda, Christos Tsiolkas, hardback
5. Blood Moon, Alexandra Sokoloff, paperback
6. The Orchid Affair, Lauren Willig, hardback
7. Michael Jordan, A Life, Roland Lazenby, hardback
