Lone Star Book Blog Tour: Wickwythe Hall by Judithe Little
Why yes, it’s another book blog tour, and one my little historical-fiction-loving heart is a pitter-patter over: Wickwythe Hall, by Judithe Little. Set primarily in 1940 England as Hitler invades France, it presents a view of the war from the perspective of the moneyed – one I’m not as familiar with – as well as a bit of English military history that I was both unfamiliar with and left speechless by. Does that pique your interest? Read on for more (and check out the giveaway!)

Bonnie and Clyde Dam Nation Book Release Blitz
Previously on this blog I shared a review of the wonderful novel Bonnie and Clyde: Resurrection Road which offered an imaginative tale of what-if — what if Bonnie and Clyde weren’t actually killed, but instead their deaths were faked and they were asked to assist the government? Sounds wild? The storyline was well thought out and creative, and I was sucked right in…and then left wanting more. Well, my wait is over as the next installment of Clark Hays and Kathleen McFall’s Bonnie and Clyde adventure is here – it is the release weekend for Bonnie and Clyde Dam Nation! Read on for more and follow along on my social media…

Book Review: Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance
Y’all, I’m speechless. Not because this book is so amazing – although it is! No, I’m left without words because despite all the raving I’ve done to everyone (in person and online) about Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance, I didn’t finish my review of it! How did this happen? This is one of my favorite books of 2017. Read on to learn why! I read Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance book in November and to be quite honest, it’s probably the reason why I didn’t get through as many advanced review copies as I would normally read in the holiday season (including a few Christmas reads.) I just had to slow…

Book Review: Christmas on the Coast
You’re probably thinking: “Hey, it’s January and Christmas is over. So what’s up with Christmas on the Coast?” Admittedly, I received this book when I was looking for Christmas stories to review and it slipped through the cracks. But honestly? I’m glad it did, because this book isn’t as much a Christmas story – it’s part of the setting, sure – as much as it is a wonderful work of historical fiction. This is a book to be read any time of year. Curious? Read on! Confession time: with the chaos of Christmas, I got behind on some of my reading and this book sadly was put by…
