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, May 20, 2016
It's a week of lasts in our house. Last prom, last chorus concert, last awards ceremony, last day of high school and last dance recital! I unplugged and threw away my alarm clock yesterday as I no longer have to get up on someone else's schedule. My favorite time to read is in the morning in bed but I only got to do it on the weekends. Now I can do it anytime. The sadness of my daughter graduating and moving on to college is setting in, but I'm excited as she moves on to the next stage in her life. She got the AP English award this year, so she's on the right track with reading! Here's the books that I got recently:
1. Auntie Poldi And The Sicilian Lions, Mario Giordano, mystery, sent by publisher
2. The View From The Cheap Seats, Neil Gaiman, nonfiction, sent by publisher
3. Orchard, Jack Bailey, historical fiction, sent by publisher
4. I Do It With The Lights On, Whitney Thore, nonfiction, sent by publisher
5. Behind Closed Doors, B.A. Paris, thriller, won in contest
6. Red Platoon, Clinton Romesha, nonfiction, sent by publisher
7. The Mother, Yvvette Edwards, literary fiction, sent for book tour
8. Monsters: A Love Story, Liz Kay, contempory fiction, sent by publisher
Here's what I'm reading:
1. The Silkworm, Robert Galbraith, Kindle Fire
2. Lady Cop Makes Trouble, Amy Stewart, Kindle
3. The Lore Of The Evermen, James Maxwell, audio
4. The Portable Veblen, Elizabeth Mckensie, paperback
5. Murder At Breakfast, Beth Gutcheon, paperback
6. Lexicon, Max Barry, hardcover

Happy Reading!
