THE HOUSE BY ANJUELLE FLOYD

The House by Anjuelle Floyd is an exceptional book that allows you to share in Anna’s journey as she finds closer relationships with her soon to be ex- husband Edward who is dying with Cancer and her children. She goes back into the house that they had in their marriage to take care of him and realizes that Edward is not the same man as the one she was married to.
I found this book to be extremely well written and I was very pleased with how the characters grew as the book went on. I have not read a book that was this enjoyable in a while. Kudos to Ms. Floyd.
I give Ms. Floyd 5 out of 5 bookmarks for her well accomplished feat of writing a good fiction story. I look forward to reading more of her works.

Sculpting the Heart:While Conversing with the Masters by Joyce White

Sculpting the Heart’s: While Conversing with the Masters by Joyce White is a good book that shows us how paintings and Art can be poetry together. At times I felt like I could feel everything she felt and at times I felt lost trying to decipher what she was saying. My favorite one is called Crystalline Clear.

I think the people that love in-depth poetry would love to read such a personal book.

Humorous Incidents: Short Stories and Essays by Aaron Majewsk

Humorous Incidents: Short Stories and Essays by Aaron Majewski is a mediocre book that Mr. Majewski shows a bits and pieces of his life or what he wished his life was. At times some of the stories were cute, I was left feeling that it wasn't as funny as much as Mr. Majewski thought they would be. I think some of the stories were the kind you had to be there for it to be funny.

Green River Lullaby by Lori Titus

Green River Lullaby by Lori Titus is a collection of very vividly written short stories. Ms. Titus captures the essence of horror and brings the reader into the story with vivid description only to be let down with what felt like unfinished endings. Ms. Titus’ characters were believable and very likable. Although this book contains several short stories, it is a very fast read. This reviewer can see great potential in Ms. Titus’ career as a writer.

Tales of Addiction and Inspiration for Recovery by Dr. Barbara Sinor

In Tales of Addiction and Inspiration for Recovery ,Dr. Barbara Sinor writes of other stories, including her and her son’s. It is a well written and posed book that has you crying at other people’s courage in sharing their stories. It even helped me with my own mother's illness of alcoholism.


I am pleased at the detail this book has and I hope that it gets out to those of you who need it. It will give you courage to go through your own processes.

Addiction, What’s Really Going On? By Deborah McCloskey, CADE & Barbara Sinor, PhD

 Barbara Sinor and Deborah McCloskey are two therapists that work with addiction issues. Upon McCloskey’s death Barbara Sinor takes Deborah’s journal and expounds on it in this book of stories of addicts and their journeys through heroin addiction and their progress. Addiction, What’s Really Going On? holds back nothing to let you see the progress of a caseload of patients. This is a fantastic book that lets you into the stories of said addicts. Ms. Sinor is a therapist who happened to be friends with Ms. McCloskey . Ms. Sinor and Ms. McCloskey has given us a glimpse a very detailed journey of addicts and their addictions.

I think this book needs to be read by anyone who has a family member on Heroin as it will give a small insight into the world and see that there is hope for some of them. If for some reason you have a friend or family member with these issues THEN THIS IS THE ONE BOOK THAT IS A MUST READ for you. This is a very revealing story which will detail, to you, a journey through addiction and what happens in the progress made in Addiction, What’s Really Going On? This is the one!

The Guns of Mars by Martin T. Ingham

In The Guns of Mars by Martin T. Ingham we have a man named Morgan Asher who is a part of a colonization on the planet Mars. He soon finds out not everything is as it seems. He realizes that he might have to fight for what he believes in.

There were times that I thought this story was moving so slowly without any indication that something better was coming along.

At first look I thought this was just a regular science fiction book but, as I dug deeper into the book I realized that the underlying message is about how easy it is to go with the flow and forget to fight for our rights that we have in America. I feel that people would get a great lesson from this novel about the ebb and flow of people and their opinions and actions.

HaveYou Seen My Childhood?

Have You Seen My Childhood by Alessandrina Lerner is written with some of the strongest poetry I have read in a while. The emotions that she has shared from her child abuse had me on the verge of tears at times. Her poem “What it is to be Loved” moved me the most.

Although I felt that the poetry lost the standard rhythm that a critique would, at times, find it very difficult to plot the tempo, I enjoyed the book very much so.

The Chosen” by C. A. Milson

If you “believe” or whether you “enjoy” reading about demons, gathering of souls and the like “The Chosen” by C. A. Milson covers them in this tale of horror.  Almost all the vices of man are included such as sex, smoking, drinking, murder and mayhem and the like.  It even includes the “proverbial” religious connotations in whether the characters believe in “God” and his protection or demons and their villainous ways.  There is so much going on in this novel that you must read it carefully and with an open mind. 

The energy of the author is reflected very well in this tome.  One could say that you would be on the edge of your seat waiting for the next melee to happen.  Powers of energy from the author and the characters will keep you reading until the end.

Passions By Diana DeRicci

In “Passions” by Diana DeRicci we have what the title says “passions”. It is a book all about the passions of two females and one male.  This book is not for people that can not handle strong sex scenes and people having a threesome.  While this is not my typical book that I read for enjoyment I fully liked the array of emotions that some of the characters had. I would recommend this erotic tale to those who enjoy erotica.  You might have to take off your glasses  for the steaminess of the sex scenes!

Starting Over By Laura Rittenhouse

In “Starting Over “by Laura Rittenhouse we read the story about the lives of Maria and her great-great granddaughter Eva. Watch as the two girls grow as independent women who live vaguely similar lives but really do have different lives.

I thought this was a wonderful book that had me wondering what was similar between my great-grandmother and me. I definitely will recommend the book to family and friends that love fiction.

Violets for Vanessa by Diane Miley

In Violets for Vanessa by Diane Miley we have a decent old fashioned romance. Vanessa is an independent woman bent to never depend on a man because of the abuse of her father.  Enter Chad James a man who wants to be there for Vanessa but she stops him at every turn. Will Vanessa learn that not every man is like her father and will Vanessa learn to trust Chad?

I am a big fan of Diane Miley but I felt that in the beginning of the book it didn’t flow like her other works and almost like she was trying to hard to make it come out. Toward the middle and ending of the book it flowed like the rest of her previoiusly reviewed work. It is still a decent read for those who enjoy a decent Christian romance.

Borrowed Time - MJ Daley-Prado

Borrowed Time by MJ Daley-Prado brings tears to your eyes in places. Ms. Daley-Prado accomplishes a depiction of one who goes through a part of their life handling someone in their family with cancer. This story tells of the “middle child” situation in this family in the typical “middle child” air. The trials and tribulations of this “middle child” and her cancer stricken mom tells a great tale of forgiveness and strength of character.


I highly recommend this read to those who believe in Christianity and for those who do not know the battles of cancer on families they should read this to find out about them.

The Return - Jan Bowles

In The Return by Jan Bowles, Marielle Stevens never thought her presumed dead husband would return back from the “dead”. Now she has a lot of explaining to do to her husband. First off can he forgive her for marrying his best friend? Secondly is that can he forgive her for not telling him about his daughter?


This book, at times, reminds me of Castaway the movie at times with various differences. The book is well written and has a couple of hot and steamy love scenes for those of us that love the hot stuff in a romance novel. The cute little father and daughter moments are so cute that it makes your heart melt.

Queen of Hearts by Phyllis Campbell

“Queen of Hearts” by Phyllis Campbell seemed vaguely familiar when I started this read. I found that Ms. Campbell’s twist of Cecilia being known as Doctor Lee Copeland being very suspenseful. I was kept in waiting to see when this would be discovered by the others. The discreetly written romance in this novel is tastefully done. I found this to be more of a romance than a western although it is set in the west in 1875. I did not see this as a historical western as the author has dubbed it although she has kept it in the western setting and was right on the money with her historical facts for that time. I feel this is more romance than any other genre. I look forward to reading more from this author and recommend this read to romance readers. Suspense and romance make a fine mix for this author!

The Tiny Caterpillar and the Great Big Tree by Kelly Moran

“The Tiny Caterpillar and the Great Big Tree” by Kelly Moran is a delightful tale that teaches the young ones about people being different and how we judge them at our very first impression. It teaches children that being different is okay. The apologies by the characters also teach the children that saying “I’m sorry” is not a bad thing and is easy to do.


The pictures coincide with what is going on at each interval that the caterpillar has with the various insects. I recommend this story to anyone with children. The adults that read this to their children will be teaching them a very valuable lesson and the pictures will amuse even the youngest of children. The adults may learn a bit of a lesson here as well.

Essential English - Book Two - Kathi Wyldeck

In Essential English Book 2 Grades 5 to 6 by Kathi Wyldeck we learn the basics of using our English language. We learn things from nouns to punctuation. She does not just teach you in the written form but also teaches you reading comprehension as well as speaking the language. As I had the pleasure of reviewing book three I found out that I did not have the knowledge of the English language that I thought I did. It’s amazing how much I learned from this author’s books. The book is a great asset to anyone teaching English.

Review for The battle to Save My Daughter's Life

The Battle To Save My Daughter’s Life by Loretta Ramey is the story of a mother’s struggle to save her daughter’s life both spiritually and physically. While I don’t personally agree with the author’s theology that her daughter has cancer because she was “sinning” the book is well written and could offer help to those that are suffering with similar problems. Just because I don’t agree with the theology it doesn’t mean that anyone interested in the battle of cancer and the battle with believing in their religion won’t enjoy it much better.
