My Review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Hi!I am a newly self-published author and I have written a self-help book, Residue, about my personal healing journey from generational curses and soul ties. This is not your average self-book, as it is very raw and real. I would like to recommend it to the group. Below are a few links I think will be helpful in guiding your decision. Have a great day!

Thanks Debbie. I will have a look at the book. I've just published a 2nd book (Fiction) which is a psychological thriller with an alcoholic protagonist also on a journey to find healing. It is one which deals with the themes of life/death, addiction/sobriety , racism and the fight for justice but above all it is one about the bonds of love which tie us together as humans. My publisher Hookline books was offering e-books for review if you want to contact them. I will also review your book which sounds excellent.
Every blessing Julia

This was the first book I have read by her as well, although I have quite a few of them on my Kindle.
I have her book,
When Lightning Strikes, the first in her Whiskey River series on my Kindle as well. I got it for free or very cheap
I am currently reading "Just Fly Away" by Andrew McCarthy. I had the pleasure of meeting him on Tuesday. You can read about that here: http://www.sidthesasquatch.com/newsev...
I am currently reading the French translation of my novel "Of Julia and Men" published in English also. Go to www.OfJuliaAndMen.comI will meet with the translator next Saturday in Geneva, Switzerland.
Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist TeamI'm reading 'Vengeance.' It's an older book, but based on the 2005 movie by Steven Spielberg. I enjoyed it so much I chose to read the book. It follows the book well, which is good. You get more details of course, and the book reads like a fiction novel, which is great. It pretty much captures the feeling that killing your enemy could backfire. Why? For each terrorist leader they killed, an even worse form of terrorist took his place. But then, what's the option? Do we peacefully co-exist with terror? Do we settle for the lesser evil and live with a certain level of control? Tough questions. It's interesting to see how this affected the Mossad agents and their families. The book still remains a good solid read even by today's genre.

Will do!
Just finished
by Amanda Prowse. This book is incredibly written with wonderful words of emotion and beauty. ‘Never settle, Cam, for anything other than what is right for you. Always put your needs high on the list; know your worth. Okay?’
That is my favorite quote in the book. This is an excellent read and I highly recommend this book to everyone.
I agree. I would like to have your comments on my book if and when you read it.www.OfJuliaAndMen.com
I am currently reading BLACK ROSE by Jane Thynne. I had to order it from the U.K. No US source had it available. Why is that??
Finished
by Nicola Yoon-- 4.5 rounded up to 5 Stars.All the feels-- this one was just so good for me, read my review to find out why.

I just finished THE BOOKSELLER by Mark Pryor. Excellent!!! This is his debut novel & I cannot wait for the next one! I recommend this to lovers of mysteries ... and Paris!!
I am currently reading
by Mark Tompkins on audiobook. I don't know quite how I feel about it yet. Although the story context is good in that it is a fantasy about the various mythical creatures and nobility of Ireland, it has some very graphic sexual content that just doesn't appeal to me. I will finish and review it however when I am done.Also reading
by Laura C. Cantu. Great middle school book!

Finished 'Persuasion' by Jane Austen. Next book 'Lady Susan' by the same author.
I just finished
by Laura C. Cantu. I received this as an ARC from Netgalley. This is a great book for middle schoolers. Think modern day The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe and add in all the adversity that present day twelve year olds go through. This story contains fantasy, mystery, bullying, testing of friendship, and intrigue. This is the first book in the series but I am already looking forward to the next installment. This book will be released in early July and i am already planning on purchasing two copies.I have started listening to
byPaulette Jiles . I am enjoying this so much!
Just finished

by Julie Chadwick. It is about Saul Holiff and how he became Johnny Cash's manager/promoter for many years. Today was the BIG day for me. I started
by Sarah J. Maas as I have been waiting many months for this release. This is the 3rd in this series. These are some of the best fantasy books written as Sarah J. Maas is an excellent author.
Finished
by Tana French-- 3.5 Stars.#4 in the Dublin Murder Squad series- enjoyable but a teensy bit too long for me.
