I got a hold of this book because I was aspiring for a light and easy read that I could flick through in one sitting. What can I say? Sometimes you just need to read a book cover to cover every once in a while. Honestly, I wasn't expecting anything too rational, just s...

I have this thing I do when I’m not sure what book I want to read next. I gather up about five or six candidates and then sit down and read the first few pages or so of each to see if anything would grasp my attention. “142 Wellington Place” was first in my pile, and I...

It's so infrequent to find an author that you like so much that you try really hard to get a hold of their book. Melvina Hawkins-Patterson is on my shortlist of authors right after I read the synopsis of her book, “Demons Rising Return of the Damned”. This book instant...

Over the weekend, I decided that it was about time I read a book that I really wanted to read in lieu of one I’ve been meaning to. I’ve stopped in the middle of several books a little while back because I just couldn’t seem to give them the attention they deserved. The...

One of the things I bask in reading is that it transports us readers to other times, other places, other experience, and other lives. I always love me a good true to life and adventure book. It’s like my go-to comfort read and this book is no different. I don't even kn...

The description of this book hooked me right off. I am a sucker for poems these days, and especially poetry that is not on my radar. When I got this book and started reading, I was strung out by the end of every page and head over heels in just a matter of chapters. Th...

I’m not going to spill the beans too much about this book because I don’t want to ruin it for you and to some extent, I also don’t think I can ever do it justice. The Job is achingly, genuinely beautiful, while Cramer Jackson’s writing is fluid and incredibly descripti...
