My Reading Getaway

Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources and the publisher for allowing me to be on this blog tour. This book published in mid May so it is available now! Someone knows what they did… A laugh. A touch. A lingering look. A dead body. An affair. A crime years in the making. Alison knows she’s in too deep. But behind closed doors, no one is who they seem… Review: This is my first book by this author so I was very interested to read it. I love the cover and the premise. The book starts with Alice being called to meet a new client, not really sure what the client wants. Alice is just days after leaving her husband, who works in the same firm as her. It’s a dual POV with plenty of twists. My favorite part was the ending. It was so unexpected and made me rethink the whole book. It was great! Author Info: Jane is a coffee, chocolate and red wine lover, and a late-night writer of compelling, passionate, and emotionally charged fiction.  Jane's books may contain love, hate, ...

He’s Gone is the first in the Robyn Bailley series. It is about Ben, a three year old, who goes missing from the local shopping center. Strangely Ben’s mother does not seem very bothered by her son’s disappearance. She also does not like the lead investigator. Robyn Bailley is transitioning from male to female and this is her first case back on the job. She needs to find Ben and also help people to recognize her as Robyn. As mentioned, this is the first book in a series and I’m looking forward to reading the rest. Thanks to Love Book Tours, I will be on tour with the entire series so look for tours over the next few months. If I had to pick a favorite thing about this book, it would be the title. It has multiple meanings showing the two stories of the book. Ben is missing and Roger (now Robyn) is gone. The author does an excellent job of writing a great crime story while at the same time telling Robyn’s story of transitioning. Robyn has to learn several times how important a womans pur...

In the 1930s, Stalin’s activists marched through the Soviet Union, espousing the greatness of collective farming. It was the first step in creating a man-made famine that, in Ukraine, stole almost 4 million lives. Inspired by the history the world forgot, and the Russian government denies, Erin Litteken reimagines their story. In 1929, Katya is 16 years old, surrounded by family and in love with the boy next door. When Stalin’s activists arrive in her village, it’s just a few, a little pressure to join the collective. But soon neighbors disappear, those who speak out are never seen again and every new day is uncertain. Resistance has a price, and as desperate hunger grips the countryside, survival seems more a dream than a possibility. But, even in the darkest times, love beckons. Seventy years later, a young widow discovers her grandmother’s journal, one that will reveal the long-buried secrets of her family’s haunted past. This is a story of the resilience of the human spirit...

I have a wonderful children’s book for you today. In it’s 16 pages, Siggy dreams of being a competitive soccer player but he must remember to be kind at all times. Siggy looks so cute as he twitches and turns in his sleep. But as they watch him, little do the family know that in his dream he is “ Siggy Sosidj ” the star player for Manchester United. It’s up to Siggy to rescue his team in the biggest game of his life. But can he do it?   I absolutely loved this book. Siggy teaches children to show kindness in all areas of the game. The illustrations are amazing. Siggy is a wiener dog and his body is twisting all over the pages. The print follows floating over the pages in a delightful way. The book is meant for children 5-8 years old and it is perfect for that age or younger. All children would be captivated by the pictures. It would be ideal for European children as American children may not know the soccer teams. Despite that the storyline is wonderful.   Thank you ...
