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, April 7, 2017
April is here and spring is in full flower. I love seeing all the dogwoods and azaelas blooming and the skies turning bright and Carolina Blue. Speaking of Carolina, we just won the national championship and of course, I've watched and cheered on the team all the way. This year was particularly interesting as the Gamecocks (from USC where my daughter is attending) made it to the Final Four as well as the Tarheels (where my son went). I was glad not to have the two face off for the championship. This is also a birthday month in our house with both my daughter and me having our days this month. That means lots of lots of books coming in, as both of our favorite gifts are books. All in all, it's been a great month. Here's what's come through the door lately:
1. Age Of Myth, Michael J. Sullivan, fantasy, purchased
