Request Book Reviewers




Greetings Fellow Book Reviewer 


As a fellow reviewer of over 3000 books, I’d like to introduce you to author, D.J. Wilson, and his Ride Series. Ride to Redemption and Ride To Restoration are currently published and available on Amazon. His third novel in the series, Ride To Retribution, will publish this fall.

D.J. Wilson, by his own admission, is currently remaking himself after suffering through the great financial crisis of 2008, losing millions of dollars in real estate, along with his businesses, his home and his twenty-five year marriage. Though his writings reflect heartache and loss, they convey hope that redemption brings by paying it forward, regardless of circumstance. His travel is extensive, his ride, breathtaking, across Tennessee, the west and Canada. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to toss in a tangled web of love and betrayal that is somewhat on the risqué side. Think of it as written for women, featuring sizzling romance, sprinkled  with sex, written from a guy's perspective.

I invite you to read and review his novels, as I have, paying it forward, if you will, in the hope that we can assist him in his quest for redemption and renewal. His life story is a novel in itself, filled with outstanding highs and devastating lows. Someday, I hope he’ll share his story with us.

Synopsis:

It's apparent, a little startling, even refreshing, to see the author blending life stories and maxims with compelling, spellbinding fiction wrapped in a twisted love story.

Righting another’s wrong landed D in the witness protection program and cost him family, friends, and everything of substance in his life. Loneliness is his constant companion until he meets Candi, the girl of his dreams. He and Candi embark on a three-week ride to redemption where they deal with mind-numbing deceit, perilous treachery, their overpowering lust for each other and their personal demons.

Nevertheless, new opportunities bring a chance to begin again. And, it doesn’t hurt that he’s got 200 pounds of illicit diamonds to use to ease the pain of those wronged. He will continue the redemption process by way of a well thought out plan involving a 5,000-mile adventure through the Western United States and Canada.

When D meets Candice, aka Candi, she captures his heart, mind and soul the instant she ‘inadvertently’ almost runs him down in the Starbucks drive-thru. Candi joins him on his three-week, two-wheeled ride to redemption, where they’re forced to face their personal demons, while dealing with wanton lust, mind-numbing deceit and perilous treachery.

Spectacular scenery and a cast of unforgettable characters they meet along the way makes the journey memorable, but nothing prepares them for the sacrifices they must eventually make midway in the ride.

“The more things change, the more they stay the same,” sadly, does not ring true for Candice and D throughout this first of a three part series. Lust and greed are forever game-changers, even for those who desperately seek redemption.

Little Bits of Karma by Laura Simmons
Wanted to read this book for a few reasons, the front cover is breathtaking and the subject interests me.
Love the very beginning where the character list is and who they represent in prior centuries. The book, to me, is like 2 novels in one.
There is the present story of Holly and her love interest, her work interest and her exercise interests. Once she gets the cards read for her and learns more about past lives she dwells into finding out more.
The past centuries are fascinating to me as they are the same present day characters but in a new light. Just when you think you know how the story will go a tragedy occurs or a medical emergence.
Quite coincidence about but magical on many counts. Great story and love all the detailed explanations of what things really mean.
I received this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.



Robert B. Parker's Kickback
Love the series as it's based out of Boston area towns. This one is about a teen boy who sets up a Twitter account for the high school principle and then the cops arrest him.
His mother sways Spenser to take the case and she becomes his secretary. There are said the kid also has terrorism threats, etc.
He questions the kids to help find proof that the kid shouldn't be in jail. Problem is the judge is one to think it's their parents that are to blame for not raising them right and that sending them off to jail will be the best thing for them.
Love how up to date this book is (Molly drug, etc) like how he unearths the corruption in the court system when he is just trying to find the answers to why the kids are not granted one call to a lawyer.
Alternating chapters from Dylan and his problems in juvy prison. Fast paced as clues arise and they travel to get more information.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). 



Thanksgiving Day by Rockwell
Always enjoyed holidays books. This audio children's book is about the festivities of the holiday.
Discrepancy of where the holiday was first celebrated: Jamestown or Phymouth.  Story tells of the Indians who welcomed the Pilgrims when they arrived at Plymouth Rock.
Talk of the foods for the first celebration. Indians taught them how to hunt and grow the local crops.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). 



In dubious Battle by John Steinbeck
1936 original about labor strikes and how the workers during the Depression years in CA. Jim Nolan, the leader as he strives to find his identity.
Includes the authors writing throughout his life. Starts out when they gather to pick the apples and there is talk of them striking. They band together and come up with white clothes to help with the birthing of a baby.
As long as they all feel like they contributed they are as one.  They strive for hope, better life, etc. The men talk to others who work in another farm and they talk of the barricades the authorities will put up as their wages go down.
Details of what is to come as they vacant a farm and things heat up. Love references to the Grapes of Wrath during this book. Love the story of how those who've gone before us have fought for their rights to make our lives easier today.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). 


The Lobster Kings by Alesi Zentner
Wanted to read this book for the pleasure of learning about the lobster industry. Just recently there was 3 fires on commercial boats and to me it was a message that they must stop lobstering...
This boat is about an island off Maine and how a family runs the lobstering business. Royalty on the island, Loosewood Island.
Love Irish tales concerning lobster, so funny! Starts with Cordelia and she's just 3 years old and hooks her fathers lip when they are out fishing. Her younger brother is born and like the other kids they don't like being on the water, only Cordelia likes it.
Journals written of the family history attract journalists who want to come to the island to interview the family....
As years go by Scott also joins her on the boat and she sees the mistakes Scott had made ...love lessons learned when on the boat...
Tragedy occurs and years later her friends try to explain what really happened. Her father confronts her on the day of the funeral. Liked hearing of her relationship with her sisters over the years.
War comes to the rival islands as we learn what the paintings mean.  Loved hearing of the lobster co op.  Like all the references to the paintings and what they represent.
When drugs come to the island the residents band together and fight them....deaths and births life goes on...

The Panther by Nelson DeMille
600+ pages, but I have read the author's other works and know it will be worth it.
Kate Mayfield and husband John Corey have agreed to an assignment in Yemen.  They are to work with a small team to investigate The Cole bombing, they are out for the mastermind behind it all.
Liked hearing of how John accumulates the background on where he's going and what to expect with the travel and restrictions. They are not given much to go on when they arrive.
Chapters also from the panther's side of the story and what he achieves for his country.
Interesting following the story and the capture and how he can perceive danger and seek out other routes to take. They have become the hunted rather than hunting for the panther.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device)also purchased a hardbound copy.

Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
1874 Wessex
I had seen this movie in the late 60's with my grandparents. Had no idea what it was about but it's a classic. I also ordered the paperback a few months ago and haven't gtten to it. But now I have it on audio so I hope I enjoy it.
Quite a different type of book subject from what I'm used to reading. Love all the descriptive details, makes me feel as if I am there.
Sexual scenes.  Basheba Everdeen  entices 3 men in her village.
A farmer Gabriel Oak falls in love with her but she is not in love with him.  Liked hearing of the sheep and their routines and when Gabriel realizes something is amiss.
Love hearing of the bartering to get a shepherd's hook. He finds her in a nearby town where she's become a farm owner via her uncle. She's so head strong.
Soldier Frank Troy needs to have the marriage bands announced....
Landowner William Baldwill-it's rumored he was jilted at the alter and that's effected him in later years...
Baldwill wants to marry her but again she's not in love with him. Love the chat about molting and shearing of the wool from the sheep.

They don't sound the same bleeps as the other sheep. They also have bigger eyes...it's sheep shearing days!
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).


Island Magic by Lori Pace
Sounds like a good read and I do live on an island and enjoy hearing how others live.
Vanessa goes to the island where there is a house she's inherited.  The SC house needs care, as does the donkey. She seeks out the vet who she takes up with.
Enjoy hearing of the location as it's a new one to me. Like that she takes up the fight for growth on the island.  Small town gas station/convenience store owner Luke Johnson talks to her of her aunt and good memories.
Vet Taylor Bowdin takes time to help her care for the donkey, fix her roof and take her around the island introducing her to others. She is there to hopefully get a job as she is also financially helping her mother and sister who's in college.
She's in the advertising field and finds she can help the islanders from growth that will be detrimental to the island.
She becomes friends with Grace and knows she can help her and her boys while she works in Atlanta. She had hoped Taylor would ask her to stay there, with him...He finds out about her new job and jumps to conclusions and Grace sets him set...

I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).


Radiant Angel by Nelson DeMille
Love the authors other works and this is a continuation of John Corey's new career. He is paired with Tess Farraday as they tail the Russian diplomats onto Hampton Shores, NY.
Love how the tells his stories and how he infiltrates them as waiters at a party in the mansion. He notes so many clues as he finds some leave on the yacht.
Story also follows the Russians who are being followed.  Such explicit details as they carry out their mission. Every thing has been thought about and the plan is in action.
Love all the technical terms and new words and how it all goes, not planned as they wanted it to go. Among the mayhem with the threat of nuclear war blowing up NYC on sept 12, there is also marital problems that will probably continue in the next book.
Like meaning  of the title all the action and adventure.

Smart Macros: 52 Superfoods That Will Change Your Life
Very factual book about the food we eat and how it helps our body and what parts and how. Love that I can just click on a particular food to find out about it.
Knew about many of these but not all of them. Can't wait to try them also. Each food has a beautiful photo along with quick facts that include origin, season, and what traits/vitamins it will give you. also the nutritional information on each so you can see for yourself the fat, calories, protein, etc for each item.
Gonna keep this book around as a good reference book.


Elizabeth's Constellation Quilt by Olivia Fu
Wanted to read this children's book because it's about quilts and I will be starting one myself next week and always looking for new ideas. Also has just started to actually see stars in the sky as I'm blind but have had a few operations recently.
Each quilt does tell a story and this one holds more meaning. Starts out with the family, a father is a sailor and the parents try to teach the daughter about navigating by the stars.
She can't seem to get a handle on it til her mother makes her a quilt out of the constellations. Then the images come clear to her. Problem is her father was sending her postcards from his various locations
for work til they stopped one day. She hires a captain and she searches via the route her father took from the star configurations in hopes of finding his last destination...
Loved the story and the brilliant colors.  A few pages were hard to read because the colors blended into the pictures or background color. Super story!
I received this book from Library Thing in exchange for my honest review.






My Secret Language
Colorful Children's story about Ruthy and how she gets bored and cries. Her parents take her to the amusement park and she loves it, but...
she wanted the heart balloon, NOW and got angry when they didn't get it for her and she cries.   Even her tears and pillow and dog want her to stop.
One morning her mother takes care of the problem....they try things her way til she realizes....
love the ending when they all realize it's ok to have tears..
Free gift from the author and other works by the author are highlighted at the end.

Would life have been different for Johnnie if she'd been named after a woman rather than her dead uncle? Or if her mama hadn't been quite so beautiful or flighty? The grandparents who raised her were loving, but they didn't understand the turmoil roiling within her. And they had so many, many secrets.

Why did her mama leave? Would she ever return? How did her Uncle Johnny really die? Who was her father? Now Johnnie Kitchen is a 43-year-old woman with three beautiful children, two of them grown. She has a handsome, hardworking husband who adores her, and they live in the historic North Texas town of Portion in a charming bungalow. But she never finished college and her only creative outlet is a journal of letters addressed to both the living and the dead. Although she has conquered the bulimia that almost killed her, Johnnie can never let down her guard, lest the old demons return. Or perhaps they never went away to begin with. For Johnnie has secrets of her own, and her worst fear is that the life she's always wanted--the one where she gets to pursue her own dreams--will never begin.

My Review:

 San Diego from A to Z: An Alphabetical Guide (Alphabet City Guides Book 2) by Laura Roberts
This book sounded interesting to me as we do travel a bit and like to see the sights and explore new horizons.
Starts out with words from the author, why she wanted to write this type of a book.
Right from the start by visiting the aquarium the author explains all the extra things you could do, wow why don't the aquariums we've visited around the US have these events?
Talk about 'hands on' that's what we do like to do. Even though we are in our 60's we can do things 40 year olds can do and we do like to bring the grandkids and their parents on some of our adventures.
Monthly calendar will come in handy when you need just one more thing to do that will connect you to the area as it will be in season. 
Such facts about the next thing to do, the park and facts tell you it's even bigger than it's counterpart East coast-Central Park. So many things to do there and love that it also gives you the location, street wise and fees for entrance.
And some things also show a colorful photo along with giving the photographer credit. Such a wealth of knowledge to have even when you do visit, to be sure to check out gift shops, other events planned, etc.
I wonder how many days it will take us to complete seeing the whole book of places one must go see. Besides being outdoors, walking, photographing fun spots, hands-on, nature, new things  we like lighthouses and this book has them also!
Even a section for those to let their hair loose and walk on the wild side. Other freebies and features are also available and the other works by the author are highlighted at the end.
Something for everybody at any age. Enjoyed this book and hope other cities will have their own travel guide by this author. She seems to know the hidden gems and where to find them when traveling.

Book Review: The Lives Between Us by Theresa Rizzo




The Lives Between Us by Theresa Rizzo
Have read the author's other works and know I am going to enjoy this read also. It's about some medical breakthroughs that my daughter had worked for a company waiting for FDA approval to be part of the stem cell research-that is one reason I wanted to read this book.
Skylar Kendal is a reporter and likes to do research, especially for her niece who needs a stem cell operation but no labs have the bone marrow nor do any match. Skye blames it on Hastings who is a Senator for the state and he's against stem cell research. She knows she has to reach him and persuade him to change his mind.
Faith and Peter have the cure for Niki but it's not in time and now a medical emergency has brought on seizures to Faith and she has to deliver the infants then... The Senator asks Mark to distract Skye and keep her off his back and Mark and Skye hit it off...
Mark and Skye help with the twins, never knew what kangarrooing was. Loved hearing all about the house Noelle and Ed and Jeff live in-very detailed descriptions as if I was there seeing it myself. Understand now why the Senator takes the position he does on stem cell.
Loved the travel to and during CO. Love it when I learn new words and have to look them up.
After the tragic accident they all bond together more to help with the surgeries and recovery. Technical terms and jargon leave me a bit confused as there are many aspects of stem cells that I never understood.
Still book continues with the personal side of the event.  When the story is leaked out from an unknown source she is blamed for ruining the senator's family and career and you wonder if they will ever figure out who really did leak the story.
Fast paced and lots of action and adventure, travel, mystery, learning new things wrapped inside a family story. Exc read!
