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, October 1, 2018
It's October and soon things will get cooler. There is football and pumpkins, mums and soon there will be turning leaves. Schools and colleges are having fall breaks and Halloween decorations are cropping up everywhere. Soon it will be time to make crockpot potato soup and chicken and dumplings, food we never make in the hot, humid summer. It's dark now by 7:30 as opposed to almost 9:00 a few months ago. Obviously, fall is another great time for reading. Here's what has come through the door lately:
1. The Glovemaker, Ann Weisgarber, historical fiction, sent by publicist
2. Red Hotel, Gary Grossman, thriller, sent by publisher
3. Fed Up, Gemma Hartley, nonfiction, sent by publisher
4. We All Love The Beautiful Girls, Joanne Proulx, literary fiction, Vine review book
5. False Witness, Andrew Grant, mystery, Vine review book
6. Sight, Jessie Greengrass, literary fiction, Vine review book
7. Time's Convert, Deborah Harkness, thriller, sent by publisher
8. The Last Romantics, Tara Conklin, historical fiction, Vine review book
9. The Wreckage, Michael Crummey, historical fiction, purchased
10. Rhapsody, Elizabeth Haydon, fantasy, purchased
11. I See You, Clare Mackintosh, mystery, given by a friend
Here's what I'm reading:
1. Rembrandt's Eyes, Simon Schama, hardcover
2. Autonomous, Annalee Newitz, Kindle Fire
3. The Templars, Dan Jones, hardcover
4. The Crossing, Michael Connelly, audio
