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, November 17, 2018
It's almost Thanksgiving, which is one of my favorite holidays. It's about family and food, not as much about commercialism or tons of decorating. All in all, it's a pretty low stress holiday. My son and all four grandkids are coming this year for the first time; my daughter will be coming home from college and DH will be here as well. My plan is a big meal, followed by football and reading. To aid in the reading, here's what's come through the door lately:
1. Love Can Be, anthology, sent by publisher
2, Grace After Henry, Eithne Shortall, literary fiction, won online
3. Astounding, Alec Nevala-Lee, nonfiction, sent by publisher
4. The Librarians And The Pot Of Gold, Greg Cox, thiller, sent by publisher
5. Death's Favorite Child, Frankie Bailey, mystery, sent by publisher
6. Roar Of The Sky, Beth Cato, fantasy, sent by publisher
7. In Defense Of Guilt, Benjamin Berkley, mystery, sent by author
8. Golden State, Ben Winters, literary fiction, won online
9. The Dogs Of Christmas, W. Bruce Cameron, anthology, sent by publisher
10. Mechanical Animals, anthology, sent by publisher
11. The Winters, Lisa Gabriele, literary fiction, sent by publisher
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. Absolute Proof, Peter James, audio
5. The End Of The Wasp Season, Denise Mina, Kindle Fire
6. The Children's Crusade, Ann Packer, hardcover
7. Something For Nothing, David Anthony, paperback
8. Welcome Thieves, Sean Beaudoin, paperback
Happy Reading!
Thank you for reminding me about Golden State by Ben H. Winters. I remembered reading about this new release and had forgotten to put it on my wishlist.
