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 14, 2019
It's halfway through February and winter is slowly losing its grip here in the South. We had several days of temperatures in the seventies and my daffodils are about to bloom. There are flowering trees on the sides of the roads and spring is about to explode. I've been reading and catching up on TV series. I'm working on healing the beginning stages of plantar fasciastis so I'm only rowing and doing the weight machines at the gym, which makes for a much shorter time there. But things are going well and I hope to restart my regular routine in two weeks after a trip I've got planned. Here's what's come through the door lately:
1. Little Fires Everywhere, Celeste Ng, literary fiction, purchased
2. Make Me A City, Jonathan Carr, literary fiction, sent by publisher
3. Judgment, Joseph Finder, thriller, sent by publisher
4. Everything Here Is Beautiful, Mira T. Lee, literary fiction, sent by publisher
5. The Merry Spinster, Mallory Ortberg, anthology, sent by publisher
6. The Lieutenant, Kate Grenville, historical fiction, purchased
7. The Cassandra, Sharm Shields, literary fiction, sent by publisher
8. Three Eves, Sylvia Day, fantasy, sent by publisher
9. FKA USA, Reed King, 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. A Serpent's Tooth, Craig Johnson, hardcover
4. Lethal White, Robert Galbraith, audio
5. The Children's Crusade, Ann Packer, hardcover
