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, July 23, 2019
July is close to over and I'm finally back to a place where I can read, hopefully. This summer has been one of family visits as we spent a lot of time with our four grandkids. First we had the two girls, then two weeks later, all four grandkids, then two weeks later, the two boys. It's wonderful to have the time to spend with the kids without parents and expectations; just a week of fun and expeditions and shared routines that are just ours. But, there's not a lot of reading time! I'm looking forward to recharging and spending more time reading. Here's what's come through the door lately:
1. Insidious Intent, Val McDermid, mystery, purchased
2. Meeting The English, Kate Clanchy, literary fiction, purchased
3. Pieces Of Her, Karin Slaughter, mystery, sent by publisher
4. Sleeping In The Ground, Peter Robinson, purchased
5. Fight Club, Chuck Palahniuk, literary fiction, purchased
6. Astounding, Alec Nevala-Lee, anthology, sent by publisher
7. Rhyming Rings, David Gemmell, fantasy, purchased
8. The Enchanted, Rene Denfeld, literary fiction, purchased
9. Sarah Thornhill, Kate Grenville, literary fiction, purchased
10. The Water Dancer, Ta-Nehisi Coates, fantasy, sent by publisher
11. The Bowness Bequest, Rebecca Tope, mystery, purchased
12. The Sisters Chase, Sarah Healy, literary fiction, purchased
13. The Dream Daughter, Diane Chamberlain, literary fiction, sent by publisher
Here's what I'm reading:
1. The Eye Of The World, Robert Jordan, audio
2. The Witch Elm, Tana French, hardback
3. The Silent Patient, Alex Michaelides, hardback
4. Quichotte, Salman Rushdie, Kindle Fire
5. The Flight Attendant, Chris Bojalian, Kindle Fire
6. Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain, hardback
7. Mostly Void, Partially Stars, Joseph Fink/Jeffrey Cranor, paperback
