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, May 25, 2019
It's Memorial Day Weekend and I wish everyone a restful time while sending appreciation to those who the holiday celebrates. We started our weekend off with a bang, going to Durham to see the delightful play, Hello Dolly. Betty Buckley is 72 but she can still command the stage and the dancing and choreography was amazing. We got home very late and have spent most of today recuperating from the shortened sleep we got. Tomorrow we are going to a neighbor's cookout and I'll be making broccoli salad to take.
A few weekends ago, I went to the library to pick up a reserve book and fell into a library book sale. Most of what I bought were books in either the Michael Connelly Bosch series or the Jonathan Kellerman Alex Delaware series as one of my goals this year is to catch up and get current on each. One of my favorite mystery authors, Stuart MacBride, just released his latest and I've been fighting the urge to buy it right away. Here's what has been successful in coming through the door:
1. The Good Sister, Gillian McAllister, thriller, sent by publisher
2. Degrees Of Difficulty, Julie Justicz, literary fiction, sent by publicist
3. The Drop, Michael Connelly, mystery, purchased
4. The Closers, Michael Connelly, mystery, purchased
5. Once A Liar, A.F. Brady, thriller, sent by publisher
6. The Furies, Katie Lowe, thriller, won in contest
7. Merivel, Rose Tremian, historical fiction, purchased
8. Dr. Death, Jonathan Kellerman, mystery, purchased
9. Therapy, Jonathan Kellerman, mystery, purchased
10. Survival Of The Fittest, Jonathan Kellerman, mystery, purchased
Here's what I'm reading:
1. The Monk Of Mokta, Dave Eggers, hardback
2. Witch Elm, Tana French, hardback
3. Flannery O'Connor, The Collected Stories, paperback
4. The Truth-Tellers Lie, Sophie Hannah, paperback
5. In Her Bones, Kate Moretti, Kindle Fire
6. The Eye Of The World, Robert Jordan, audible
7. The Shadow Of Death, Phillip Ginsberg, hardback
8. Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain, hardback
Happy Reading!
