As readers, I dare say we’re (unconsciously or consciously) drawn to books that address universal themes and help us work through aspects of our own story.
One such book that I recently read was promising. Until it wasn’t.

I don't panic, I don't fight writer's block. It's part of the ebb and flow of the creative process. I've also realised that a block often precedes a surge in creativity.

I generally enjoy James Patterson’s novels, but not this one. Although the writing flows, which kept me engaged, I felt there was too much going on, and the main character, Jane Smith, is hard-bitten and unlikeable. Lacking depth, she’s one-dimension ...more |

I picked 'Freefall' up at our local library, then couldn't put it down—it's a compelling page-turner! Generally a slow reader, I zipped through this fast-paced novel in two days—a record for me. Jessica Barry had me at the first sentence and held me ...more |

| It took me a while to get through the first couple of hundred pages of this 720-page epic novel, mostly because there was a lot of backstory about the secondary characters, yet, very little about the protagonist, Jude. I persevered, though, because o ...more | |
“It was an interesting night. I’d never been to a non-Jewish wedding, and Phelan assured me that this one was not the norm. The bride and groom got pissed as newts—he ended up passed out, sprawled face down in his own vomit, while she did the cancan on the bridal table, flashing something old, which apparently was nothing new.”

“Sometimes the one who is running from the Life/Death/Life nature insists on thinking of love as a boon only. Yet love in its fullest form is a series of deaths and rebirths. We let go of one phase, one aspect of love, and enter another. Passion dies and is brought back. Pain is chased away and surfaces another time. To love means to embrace and at the same time to withstand many endings, and many many beginnings- all in the same relationship.”
