A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog. What happened this week? This was a pretty decent week. Not really any good or outstanding things happened, but not too many bad things either, so I count that as a win. I went for a walk again most days.

Review: Grenville by J.C. Hay

Grenville (TriSystems: Rangers #2) by J.C. Hay My Rating: 4 stars Genre: Science Fiction Romance Age Category: Adult Type of romance: MF Blurb: Are they orbiting each other, or falling? Yancey Grenville thought he knew his place in the pack – the clown, the one who always made everyone else happy. A stress reliever for his battle family and for the women he’d spent time with along the way. No one to be serious about, and not someone to settle down with. An attitude that he thought suited him, until a solo mission with the one person he wanted to… Read more »

Review: Kitty Confidential by Molly Fitz

Kitty Confidential (Pet Whisperer PI #1) by Molly Fitz My Rating: 3 stars Genre: Cozy Mystery Age Category: Adult Type of romance: no romance yet Blurb: I was just your normal twenty-something with seven associate degrees and no idea what I wanted to do with my life. That is, until I died… Well, almost. As if a near-death experience at the hands of an old coffeemaker wasn’t embarrassing enough, I woke up to find I could talk to animals. Or rather one animal in particular. His full name is Octavius Maxwell Ricardo Edmund Frederick Fulton, but since that’s way too… Read more »
