I have not been very good about time, when it come to reading Laurie Graves’ third youth novel in her Great Library Series, “Out of Time”. I ordered mine (singed by the author!!!!) when the publication came out…. oooooh, a … Continue reading
From the Bookshelf: Myrtle and the Big Mistake, by Cynthia Reyes and Lauren Reyes-Grange

From the Bookshelf: Tone, Twang, and Taste, a Guitar Memoir, by Pete Kennedy
The Washington, D.C./Baltimore, MD region is a great place for music. Having previously lived there for about ten years, and living only a couple of hours away, we have enjoyed the talents of many local musicians and well known acts … Continue reading
From the Bookshelf: Library Lost, by Laurie Graves
Laurie Graves’ second novel in The Great Library series, Library Lost, came out in time for a copy to be under our Christmas tree, seven months ago. I have had it in my reading queue, but various events, including packing … Continue reading
From the Bookshelf: Heartspark, by Mike Mallow
I think of Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein, to be the first science fiction novel. Prior to this time, stories (mostly in poetic or theatrical formats) were mythologies and legends from the Greek and Roman pantheons, Nordic epics, and lives of … Continue reading
From the Bookshelf: Maya and the Book of Everything, by Laurie Graves
Imagination… In the beginning was the Word… Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy… If music be the food of love, play on,… How many stories are told and re-told. Borrowing from, or building … Continue reading
