WRITTEN IN MY OWN HEART'S BLOOD Diana Gabaldon: Historical Fiction Plus a bit of SF

Diana Gabaldon has again crafted an amazing story, a masterpiece that ties up the threads from its predecessor, AN ECHO IN THE BONE, with a roller coaster of a ride. She writes every single one of her POV characters' hearts, minds, and souls with humanity. WRITTEN IN MY OWN HEART'S BLOOD is my second favorite of all the Gabaldon books. But be forewarned: There's more coming in this story. If you haven't read Diana Gabaldon's books before, start at the beginning with OUTLANDER. You won't be sorry.


UNDER ROSE-TAINTED SKIES Louise Gornall: Women's Fiction

Living with agoraphobia and OCD requires vast amounts of courage. Norah has it in spades. The journey is long, but oh, so worth the trip. Must Read! If you like Barbara Claypole White's books, this is a don't miss read.


THE MASTER MAGICIAN Charlie Holmberg: YA

The third in the Paper Magician Series is the best one yet. Love, adventure, and danger are Ceony's to win and over come.

A deep story of a family in which the silences mask massive psychological and emotional gulfs. Until your ready to ask "why, " you'll never understand someone's motivations--but only ask when you are ready to listen to their truth.


A PLEDGE OF SILENCE Nora J. Solomon: Historical Women's Fiction

Many of us know about the soldiers who suffered and died on the Bataan Death March in WWII, but the military nurses have a story too. Don't miss this story of one such heroine.


THE SOUND OF SLEIGHBELLS Cindy Woodsmall: Christian WF

A sweet story outlines the truth of healing--spiritual, physical, and psychological--that faith and love offers when we are ready to let go of the past.
