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 23, 2016
June is almost over and summer is in full swing. Here in NC, a temperature of 99 is predicted for today. We're in full college preparation mode, having been to orientation last week where I walked six miles in two days in a heat index of 104. How many weeks till fall? Still, it is good reading weather as it's time to hunker down inside until fall comes with cooler temperatures. I received book certificates from both Barnes and Nobles and Amazon this week in the Apple settlement so I have plans to make for spending it. What new books or older books I've held off on will be winging my way shortly? Here's what's come through the door recently:
