Books by friends and fellow authors that I think my readers may also enjoy. Firstly, is this cover not pretty? Why yes, I did make that! Kindred, by Kelly Grayson, is a riveting read. In the Dakota Territory, a U.S. Marshal haunted by his past works desperately to discover who is behind a weaponized smallpox… Read More Pushing Books
It’s that season here in my neck of the woods. Leaves are falling and so are the temperatures. I’m inclined to dig out the fuzzy throw blankets and keep them handy for the moments where I have the actual time to curl up and read, with a mug of tea next to me. Which got… Read More Cozy Reads
This last week or so I haven’t acquired any paper books, although I am thinking longingly of a certain big antique mall where I can lay my hands on some lovely ones. Perhaps later today. In the meantime… I buy books for various reasons. Reading seems obvious, but I also buy books to support fellow… Read More The Bookshelf, Virtually

I was once a librarian… One of the fun things I got to do from time to time was make up a display of books. There’s two ways to get a book at the library. All right, there are more. But for the purposes of this post, and brevity: you walk in, you know… Read More Saturday Book Display
It’s going to be a busy day here at the Nut House. Sounds of drilling already emanate from the closet, and the dishwasher is singing it’s song in the kitchen. So in lieu of a sensible essay type-post, you get a glimpse into my reading habits of late. Some old, some new… all of… Read More Readers take Note
The First Reader is on leave from work, and has departed for his parent’s house. He will be down there, returning the favor for them raising him. However, we both anticipate long hours of quiet time, where he will have little to do besides read. So… I need to make a very special book… Read More Nominate! for the Curmudgeon’s Book List
Other People’s Books. The marvelous thing about being an Indie is that no one (well, ok, maybe the First Reader. But only if we talk about it first) can tell me what to do. So if I want to celebrate other authors? I’m going to do it. Doesn’t matter what kind of publishing they do,… Read More OPB
This list was born out of a question: someone wanted to know what were books we’d recommend for the young lady in his life, to save her from sparkly vampires.
