Glenn Gould: Sketches of Solitude by Anne Kaufmann My rating: 5 of 5 stars Before reading this book, I believe I had heard of this prodigious musician, but I could not have told you anything about him. Maybe I would have remembered that he was a classical pianist, but I […]

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. For as long as I can remember, I have had somewhat dry skin.  As I have gotten older, the problem has improved, but there are times I get a dry or itchy patch on my skin that has to be treated.  I am frugal at heart, and I often turn […]

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. So how often did you wish that you could read faster and with more comprehension?  I certainly know that thought crosses my mind quite regularly.  I am a book reviewer, and sometimes I really have to set everything aside and read very quickly.  That can be easier said that done.  […]

True Love by Jude Deveraux My rating: 3 of 5 stars Well-written romance novels are often difficult to find, and when those stories are contemporary, the search can even be harder. If any kind of mystery is added to these required elements, the reader may be even more hard pressed to meet those requirements. However, Jude Deveraux is one of […]

The Cottage On Juniper Ridge by Sheila Roberts My rating: 5 of 5 stars What a particularly delightful book this is, and I can recommend it to romance lovers of most genres.

The characters were captivating, and as the story captured my attention. It is nearing Easter, and I believe that the fascination with the cross […]

Scraps of Evidence by Barbara  Cameron My rating: 3 of 5 stars I always luxuriate in reading a well-written mystery, and it is even better when it is cozy, clean, and Christian. This book meets the criteria–no profanity, no sex, and definitely Christian (even though the message is much more subdued than I would like it to be). This is […]

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I am so pleased to be able to tell you about something called the Elite Little Dog Bark Control.  Permit me to preface this review by saying that we have a large dog, and so this did not work as well as the large dog bark control collar would have.  […]
