The Companions

If the author’s main point in writing this story was to explore the perspectives of how people lived in this dystopian world over a long period of time, how their lives were affected, and how relationships worked- then don’t present it as…

Ends of the Earth

I know books about a 'Bug Man' don't really sound that interesting, and the first couple in the series don't seem very appealing in title or cover, but this series is a really good read! It's basically like CSI or…

Lone Wolf in Jerusalem

I guess I was pretty bored with it. It had a lot of potential- Jersualem post-WWII, espionage, Jack Reacher 'I-only-work-alone-to-get-my-vengeance' assassin vibe, underground rebel organizations, side love story. A lot of great elements that just didn't…

Confronting Christianity

I've read a lot of apologetics books and I think the issue was that McLaughlin just presented the information in a different way than I was used to and caused me to approach the questions in a new way. Which is a good thing. She has a fresh perspective. It's…

A good mystery! I can typically figure out the culprit when I read mystery novels, but this one had me going back and forth between a few people so I appreciated the red herrings! I read this…

Cilka’s Journey

This book is called Cilka's Journey and that's exactly what is portrayed- it's a telling of her journey. There is no major plotline, mission, or problem to solve other than recounting the years that Cilka spent in a Russian gulag for her 'crimes.' It is not for the…
