Stars: 3 / 5 Recommendation: I cannot recommend this book to anyone without mentioning that I am biased about it. It opened very slow with a lot of drag, overtly descriptive and with too many footnotes deviating you from the main plot. Although it became interesting sometime middle Volume II, it’s ending did not justifyContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell”

Leafing Through Pages – Dracula
Stars: 3 / 5 Recommendation: All in all it was a slow read even though the book set stage for countless number of movies and books on vampires. It didn’t read as creepy as the movies portrayed, perhaps because of me watching the various movies already. You can skip a few bits in between andContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages – Dracula”
Leafing Through Pages – Misadventures with a Rock Star (Misadventures #12)
Stars: 2 / 5 Recommendation: Other than sex there was no connection between Heather and Jett, yet they end up having instant soul-mate feeling and fall in love all in a matter of two or three hot scenes. It’s a bit over the top and unbelievable for me with so many plot-lines misrepresented or incomplete.Continue reading “Leafing Through Pages – Misadventures with a Rock Star (Misadventures #12)”
Leafing Through Pages – An Irish Country Christmas (Irish Country Series #3)
For review of all books in this series: Go here. Stars: 4 / 5 Recommendation: Another pleasant story into the lives of two Irish Country Doctors, making their mark in the lives of the village people while taking care of them. An easy read, pleasant with less dangers however, weaved with surprises in handling variousContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages – An Irish Country Christmas (Irish Country Series #3)”
Leafing Through Pages – Family Tree
Stars: 3 / 5 My Recommendation: Despite some of the aspects being portrayed questionably, author Delinsky does bring up one key factor with her plot. Does one have a public voice on their beliefs regarding race, religion, politics and even their pedigree? And a private voice that shows the actual beliefs of a person –Continue reading “Leafing Through Pages – Family Tree”
Leafing Through Pages – Antiques Frame (A Trash “n” Treasures Mystery #11)
Stars: 2 / 5 My Recommendation: Although it was a decent book, it disappointed me a lot. Perhaps I was expecting it to be on the lines of Garage Sale Mystery Books. Specially with one of the character being manipulative and abusive and taking advantage. Some things need to be ethically written to be enjoyable.Continue reading “Leafing Through Pages – Antiques Frame (A Trash “n” Treasures Mystery #11)”
Leafing Through Pages – Wyoming Legend (Wyoming Men #8)
Stars: 2 / 5 My Recommendation: Except for the genuine description of struggles of a champion figure skater and the unbreakable bond between Karina and her 9 yr old charge Janey, this book got so many things wrong that I barely finished the book since I don’t like to leave anything half-read. Wyoming Legend isContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages – Wyoming Legend (Wyoming Men #8)”
Leafing Through Pages – “D” is for Deadbeat (Alphabet Mystery #4)
For review of all books in this series: Go here. Stars: 3 / 5 My Recommendation: Another successful investigation by Kinsey Millhone rivaling the likes of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, but not yet there. Grafton gives us a female gumshoe with her share of flaws and strengths that further more enhances her character. AContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages – “D” is for Deadbeat (Alphabet Mystery #4)”
Leafing Through Pages – The Missing Chums (Hardy Boys #4)
For review of all books about Nancy Drew, go here; about Hardy Boys go here; about Tarzan go here. Stars: 4 / 5 Recommendation: Complete nostalgia bringing back so many memories for me as I was reading this delightful republished book. These are a treasure to our past showing us the beautiful and correct languageContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages – The Missing Chums (Hardy Boys #4)”
Leafing Through Pages – Eleven on Top (Stephanie Plum # 11)
For review of all books in the series: Go here. Stars: 3 / 5 Recommendation: A doggedly persistent gumshoe even with her ineptness, disorganized and above all having no inclination to use a weapon, it is a miracle that Stephanie can bring a case to a closure. I feel I should read the first fewContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages – Eleven on Top (Stephanie Plum # 11)”
