I love to read! I started a book club at the local library 7 years ago and I have a web page that is devoted to my reading group and passion. I belong to an on-line reading group and I have picked up some great books and authors from this fun bunch. "The Novel Ladies"

  • Real Murders
    • Rated 5 stars

    A delightful cozy mystery set in a small town with a unique club gathering monthly to discuss old murders. Love the small town librarian, Aurora. A copycat murderer is on the loose and Roe pieces all the clues together, but will it be too late? So glad I picked up this series to try by Charlaine. She has not disappointed me yet with any of her books.

  • The 7th Victim
    • Rated 3 stars

    Clearly the subject matter was fascinating and deserves 5 stars! I loved the multi task force from cops to FBI. My first book by Alan Jacobson and not my last. I just didn't think he fleshed out the characters enough plus he had to much filler drama going on at once. I look forward to Crush the second book in this series

  • Still Alice

    Still Alice

    by Lisa Genova
    • Rated 5 stars

    Superb story written from the patient's viewpoints. I learn, I cried, I laughed and I mourned. Stunning prose! A must read for anyone with a family member diagnosed with on-set Alzheimer's or dementia. A must read for those who might later on experience the effects of this disease somewhere down the road.

    5 stars! Didn't possibly think that book two would be funnier than the first one. I snorted and giggled to the end. What an endless list of characters so bizarre that I was wishing one was my relative. A hoot! Recommend to everyone who needs a good laugh.

  • Evil at Heart
    • Rated 5 stars

    Incredible!! Out of the 3 titles, this one is my favorite! A up and coming star for crime, grit, murder and humor! My all time favorite character outside Archie and Gretchen is Susan the reporter. She developed a knack under Archie's wing and is a powerful character within the story. By page 48 my heart was racing until I finished it. Totally Impressed with this Iowa born author! Another 5 star winner

  • Sweetheart
    • Rated 5 stars

    Chelsea delivered a sequel that was touching and poignant as one could be with a serial killer loose running around. The amazing prose of such dark regions and yet I couldn't put it down if I tried. 5 star sensation!

    5 Stars for this ripping sensational serial killer novel of the 5th dimension. Chelsea Cain writes a compelling story with phenomenal characters. Archie and Gretchen have a relationship one can't imagine and yet it is.

  • Bobbie Faye's Very (very, very, very) Bad Day: A Novel
    • Rated 5 stars

    Rollar Coaster Ride in a day. It's like reading a Stephanie Plum novel but on crack and filled with Southern Charm. Raunchy and laugh out loud humor! Could not put it down!

  • Night Sins
    • Rated 5 stars

    My Third book by Tami and I was highly impressed with the writing, the characters and the subject matter. Tough subject matter as it could happen to anyone at anytime.... anywhere.

    I just knew this book was not the end of the story either and I had it pegged how it would end. Can't wait to read Guilty as Sin.
