Jackson’s ‘Castle’ is Captivating

“The perfect book to curl up with on a cold

and dreary day…. This is a must-read book.”

Madness Whispers in ‘A White Room’

“Fans of ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ will love this debut by Carroll because

it’s about a woman feeling her house is

alive…. And that other people are living in it.”

Let’s Blab About ‘Book of Secrets’

“This book has all of the elements of a great

book, including a missing child, a

villainous man, a very sick woman, a nun, and

a young mother.”

Conquering the Classics

“The betrayal by (someone) was so palpable that my

stomach was in knots, and more than once my husband asked me why I

was grinning like an idiot.”

Wonderful Words for ‘World Without

You’

“Anyone who has argued with siblings or felt chastised by in-laws will be able to identify

with this book, whether or not they have lost a close family member. It oozes sincerity without

the cheesiness that often accompanies that

emotion, and it has moved into one of my favorite books of the

year.”

‘Rules of Civility’ is the Cat’s Meow

“Towles managed to capture the theme and

feel of the times without being trapped by the

‘difficult’ writing style. I can’t quite put my finger on what makes this book

so wonderful, but it is definitely worth

reading.”

The Lovable Lucy Ann Lobdell

“What a cool book! I know that’s an odd description for a novel, especially one that

falls into the historical fiction category, but I just can’t

think of a better word. This book is just soooo cool. And incredible. And beautifully

written.”

‘Starvation Heights’ is Sensational

“All of it is riveting. All of it is sensational. And all of it will leave you with

your mouth hanging open throughout a good

portion of the book. It’s conspiracy at its

finest….”

How American Schools Are

Failing Your Kids

“American students are behind academically and

surprise you.

TLC Book Tours: Etched in Sand

“Regardless of whether you’re a man or woman,

into public policy, or experienced with the

foster care system, this book WILL have an

impact on you.”

‘World’s Strongest’ is Spectacular

“Unlike many memoirs, the author doesn’t take

care to make his life seem anything other

than what it is.  It isn’t painted with doom and gloom, nor is it glossed over and made into a self-help, optimism

book.”

‘Year of Living Biblically’ is Brilliant

“It is a fantastic birds-eye view of what it is

like to live according to the Bible on a daily

basis without having a pro or anti religious

agenda. There’s nothing political about it (he

avoids those aspects) and Jacob isn’t

attempting to portray anything but his

experiences. In short, it’s brilliant.”
