Dragon Harper by Anne and Todd McCaffrey

Anne and her son deliver another tale in the Dragonriders of Pern series. I was so worried when Todd started writing with his mom because children of authors who try to continue a series usually do not do so well. But he was great and I believe that if Anne McCaffrey were to stop writing, Todd [...]
Plum Lucky by Janet Evanovich

Evanovich delivers another novella about Stephanie in this St. Patricks’ Day Tale. An obvious ploy to work the holiday market, this is not that engaging of a tale. I hate to say it, but I think I am done with Stephanie Plum. The storyline was lackluster and the characters have become rather flat. It is no [...]

So this was the last of Barnes’s books and now I will have to wait forever for another But this was totally cool because I love reading about all things Sidhe (i.e. faery) related. It starts out a la sisterhood of the traveling pants, but then takes a fantastic turn. Four very [...]
