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, March 13, 2020
Along with everyone else, our routines are being affected by the covid-19 virus. We're probably less affected than others as being retired, it's easier to self-quarantine which we are doing. For me, it means giving up going to the gym, book club meetings and lunch with friends but since I'm in a group higher in risk, it's what is needed. My son got tickets to the first round of March Madness for me and him for a Christmas present but that isn't happening. I went yesterday and stocked up at the grocery so that we don't need to eat out for several weeks. Of course, staying home equals more reading time. Here's what has come through the door lately:
1. Tombstone, Tom Clavin, nonfiction, won in contest
2. The Sisters Grim, Meena van Praag, fantasy, sent by publisher
3. The Hidden Things, Jamie Mason, mystery, won in contest
4. Hello, Summer, Mary Kay Andrews, women's lit, sent by publisher
5. Deep As Death, Katja Ivar, mystery, sent by publisher
6. The Knockout Queen, Rufi Thorpe, literary fiction, sent by publisher

13. A Registry Of My Passage Upon The Earth, Daniel Mason, anthology, won in contest
14. Victim 2117, Jussi Adler Olsen, mystery, sent by publisher
Here's what I'm reading:
