Hood By: Stephen R. Lawhead

A re-read of this book after many, many years.  It still holds up.  Setting the tale of Robin Hood in Wales (read the end notes as to why) makes for a fascinating read-and historically it fits.  Great introduction to the characters we know and have come to love, but they have an edge that isn't there in other tellings.  Lawhead's work is just so good!

You Should Be So Lucky By: Cat Sebastian

I really enjoyed this one!  Charming and lovely and at times laugh out loud funny, this look at two very different men falling in love is an absolute delight.  Set in 1960 amongst the world of baseball, interesting and real characters navigate some real difficulties.  The side characters are too fantastic-particularly Eddie's mother-she is a hoot!

Backhanded Compliments By: Katie Chandler


Never in a million years did I think I would, let alone enjoy, and book with tennis as it's backdrop.  Chandler has written a wonderful love story and made tennis interesting to me!  Kudos to her!! Luca and Juliette's journey is messy, thorny, lovely and real (and the tennis games are exhilarating)!

We Are All the Same in the Dark By: Julia Heaberlin

A dark and twisted mystery, within a mystery, within a mystery.  Very atmospheric, tense and somewhat creepy.  Despite all that it is oddly hopeful.  I can't explain it-read it and you'll see what I mean!

All the Colors of the Dark By: Chris Whitaker

I can't even described how brilliant this book is!!  It's a mystery, it's a psychological thriller, it's a family drama, it's a love story, it's a bit of everything!  It is exquisitely written. Full of twists and turns and wrenching heartbreak, All the Colors of the Dark provides all the feels.  This is one not to be missed!
