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 1, 2018
September has arrived and hopefully, autumn will be close behind. Here in the South, we don't really get fall temperatures for six or eight more weeks, but I'm ready to decorate my door with my fall wreath and put out my glass pumpkins all over the house! Last year I even made a glass pumpkin at a workshop which was fun. We have delivered the college age daughter back to school so I'm back to days on my own, which translates into lots of reading. I read twelve books in August and hope to match that in September. Here's the ones that have made it through the door:
1. The Island Of Always, Stephen Evans, literary fiction, sent by publicist
2. Trust Me, Hank Phillippi Ryan, thriller, sent by publisher
3. Grace Williams Says It Loud, Emma Henderson, literary fiction, purchased
4. Stygian, Sherrilyn Kenyon, fantasy, sent by publisher
5. Spies, Michael Frayn, literary fiction, purchased
6. The Shape Of Rain, Michael Koep, fantasy, sent by publicist

1. The Drowned Girls, Loreth Ann White, mystery
2. The Water Knife, Paolo Bicagapuli, fantasy
3. Brothers And Bones, James Hankins, mystery
4. Gone To Dust, Matt Goldman, mystery

7. A Killer's Mind, Mike Omer, mystery
8. Strange The Dreamer, Laini Taylor, fantasy

10. Homegoing, Yaa Gyasi, literary fiction
11. The Three Musketeers, Alexander Dumas, classic literature
12. Wizard's First Rule, Terry Goodkind, fantasy
Here's what I'm reading:

3. Carousel Court, Joe McGinnis, hardback
4. The House Without Windows, Nadia Hashimi, hardback
