What’s On Your Nightstand?
5 Minutes For Books wants to know what’s on my nightstand this month. And boy, has this been a busy month of reading as I got ready for ICRS. My reading has been quite eclectic this month from chillers and thrillers to Chick lit! So I’m sure you’ll find something that interests you!
James E. Robinson’s The Flower of Grass, had the feel of walking through the country on a cool morning. Not that I’ve actually done that, but it was a slow, poetic read with heart wrenching challenges in which you weren’t sure how it would end up and I wasn’t quite sure how I wanted it to end up. I’ll have an interview with the author up at Writer…Interrupted soon, and maybe give away a book!
Tosca Lee’s Demon: A Memoir was an intriguing, mind gripping story. I lost myself in the story which is credit to the author since I rarely get enraptured by stories nowadays unless they’re really good! And to top it off, Tosca Lee was nominated for a Christy for this FIRST novel.
Mike Dellosso’s, The Hunted, was also a incredible first novel. You can read my interview with Mike here. Talk about a Writer…Interrupted. Read all about his battle with cancer and my review of The Hunted! But if you want to be taken for an exciting, and sometimes chilling ride, then don’t miss this one!
I’m currently reading Sigmund Brouwer’s Broken Angel. Heart wrenching, thrilling and insightful and I’m only on the fifth chapter! I thoroughly enjoyed my interview with him and his wife, Christian music singer and writer and hearing their awe filled tail of how Cindy’s new song and Sigmund’s new book intertwined though neither of them shared what they were working on. Look for their interview on how they balance two kids and their own successful careers!
Michael Snyder’s My Name is Russel Fink was a fun, neurotic and touching read. You have to read it to know what I mean, but another first novel gets my thumbs up! Read his interview and look for the follow up ICRS interview to come!
Table for One by Georgiana Daniels is another delightful, chicklitish, read by a new author. I thoroughly enjoyed Lucy and her love life mishaps! You can read my review here and her interview here!
Brandilyn Collins always delivers, especially with her Kanner Lake series. I just finished Crimon Eve and stood in a loooong line at ICRS just to get her latest book, Amber Morn! Each one takes you on roller coaster ride of suspense and who dunnit. Her tight writing and plots are what I aspire to achieve one day! You can read my interview with her here and look for my newest interview with Brandilyn to come!
