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, February 20, 2018
It's almost the end of February with spring on its way. My daffodils will be blooming sometime this week and I can't wait to see them; they are so optimistic and happy. I've been reading a lot but haven't finished a lot. I've only finished two books this month which may be a record for me but that number will go up by the end of the month as I have several that I'll finish before then. Sports are almost over for me for the year and that's when my reading goes up. I watch football all the way to the end; with college basketball I watch only till the Tarheels are out of the Big Dance. Last year, of course, they went all the way and won and I can only hope they do that well this year. Here's what's come through the door:
1. Snow City, G.A. Kthryns, thriller, sent by author
2. How Hard Can It Be?, Allison Pearson, women's lit, won online
3. Autumn, Ali Simith, literary fiction, purchased
4. The Burial Society, Nina Sadowsky, mystery, Amazon Vine review book
5. The Standard Grand, Jay Baron Nicorvo, literary fiction, Amazon Vine review book

Here's what I'm reading:
