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, September 3, 2016
September is here and there is hope of summer heat and humidity dissipating in the coming weeks. Here in North Carolina we've had a fairly brutal summer and fall can't come too soon to suit me. I spend most super-hot days inside so you'd think I would have read more than ten books in August but Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Acorn TV takes up a lot of reading time. Here's the books that have come through the door lately:
1. Echoes Of Family, Barbara Claypole White, literary fiction, sent by publisher
2. The Sound Of A Wild Snail Eating, Elisabeth Tova Bailey, nonfiction, sent by publisher
3. The Orphan Mother, Robert Hicks, historical fiction, Vine review book

6. A Gentleman In Moscow, Amor Towles, literary fiction, sent by publisher
7. Father's Day, Simon Van Booy, literary fiction, Vine review book

Here's what I'm reading:

Happy Reading!
A lot of your books are new to me. Got to go investigate them further. It's always a good thing to find new authors.
