A Persona of Characters, Guest Post by Jean Shorney Aidan McRaney On my writing journey I’ve created many characters. Of all of them I suppose my favourite as to be Aidan McRaney, for whom I’ve written the Aidan McRaney Trilogy. The Trilogy begins with his initial release from prison, to his undercover work as a covert […]
Julie’s 2015 Audiobook Challenge Update: Goal: I previously mentioned that I am hoping to reach the Marathoner level. I know I can reach the lower levels of “My Precious” easily so I kind of want to challenge myself, since audio books are like the only way I read these days anyway. (Thank you 3 hour round […]
Julie’s Review: This book, ugh. It just left me feeling underwhelmed, and while I was reading I kept wanting to speed it up and kept losing my focus. The audiobook was great – both narrators are good voice actors and are enjoyable to listen to. I actually couldn’t speed it up because the voices were […]
Let’s talk about the lesser-known authors/titles that you think everyone should read. Julie: I think people should check out the YA books written by a fellow book club lady, Kimberly Russell. I found all her books to be tasty to gobble up while exploring some serious topics. Lynn: I’ve been struggling for ideas for […]
Lynn’s Review: It’s been 9 years since we last met up with Philip Mercer, the globe-trotting, disaster-diverting, geologist from Jack DuBrul.

Five Things Every Romance Novel Should Have Humor. A strong female lead. Have both the male and female leads have lives of their own in the story (ie. scenes with the female lead and her friends/family and same with the male lead and his friends/family) I believe that ads more depth to their character. Show […]
Julie’s Review: You know how much I love this author (I even mention her in our author crush post). So then you know how excited I was to read her recent release. The premise for The Stars Never Rise is quite exciting; I mean, I eat up stories about demons and exorcists (or slayers, or […]
Okay let’s talk about those characters that are so cool that we want to party with them. Who are some you’d love to invite? Julie: I don’t really party. I mean, my idea of a party is getting together with some friends and hanging out while talking about stuff we’re interested in. Sounds like Book […]
Lynn’s Review: Dear Jay – And Rule, Jet, Rome, Nash, Rowdy, and Asa I have thoroughly enjoyed the Marked Men series. And I’m kind of sad to see that it’s finished. But great job with the last two paragraphs in Asa, wrapping up the entire series with happily ever after for all of […]
