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, August 17, 2015
Summer is winding down and the heat and humidity will be leaving at last. School is starting with its hopes of new beginnings. There are always lots of new books on the market. My daughter will be a senior this year with all that brings, college applications and senior trips. My son's birthday is soon and like me, he loves to get new books for birthday presents, along with a special dinner of Mom's chicken casserole. I've got the new Neal Stevenson, Seveneves, on the way to him along with a sci-fi surprise book.
