Book Review: Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King

Book Review: Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King

I’m an avid Stephen King fan, and I can honestly say I’ve read every book he’s written. I always like Stephen King’s long stories. While they lack the satisfying caramelly-nougaty goodness of his longest novels, they are no candied popcorn, either.

This time, King explorers the human mind and takes on the conscience. Each person does or ponders something of questionable integrity, and each action is something all of us have considered at some point.

Dads Are A Gift, Celebrate Them!

Dads Are A Gift, Celebrate Them!

My Dad is many things to many people, but to me, he’s just my Dad. When I laugh, he laughs with me. When I need advice, he has plenty to give. When I need anything at all, he drops whatever he’s doing to take care of me. My Dad has always worked hard to be the very best Dad he can possibly be, not only to me and my two brothers, but to any child who needed a father figure. There are lots of kids out there who say he’s “like a father” to them. And that makes me really proud of him. My Dad is my Hero.

As we celebrate our Dads this weekend, I’d love to hear some of your favorite “Dad Moments”, please share them with me in the comments!

And, if you’re looking for some great Father’s Day gifts, below are a few best-selling ebooks, in no particular order, about and for Dads. All of these can be sent to your Dad as an instant gift.

Book Review: Long Gone by Alafair Burke

Book Review: Long Gone by Alafair Burke

What if everything you thought you knew turned out to be a lie?

After a layoff and months of struggling, Alice Humphrey finally lands her dream job managing a new art gallery in Manhattan’s trendy Meatpacking District.

According to Drew Campbell, the well-suited corporate representative who hires her, the gallery is a passion project for its anonymous, wealthy, and eccentric owner. Drew assures Alice that the owner will be hands off, allowing her to run the gallery on her own. Her friends think it sounds too good to be true, but Alice sees a perfect opportunity to make a name for herself beyond the shadow of her famous father, an award-winning and controversial film maker.

Everything is perfect until the morning Alice arrives at work to find the gallery gone – the space stripped bare as if it had never existed – and Drew Campbell’s dead body on the floor. Overnight, Alice’s dream job has vanished, and she finds herself at the center of police attention with nothing to prove her innocence. The phone number Drew gave her links back to a disposable phone.

The artist whose work she displayed doesn’t seem to exist. And the dead man she claims is Drew has been identified as someone else.

Book Review: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

Book Review: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

What would it take to grow all our own food?

This is the question the Kingsolver family asked themselves after moving from the hard Arizona desert to lush hill country in the Appalachians of Virginia. Over the next year, the family of four embarked on a quest that would change the way they eat forever.

This thoughtful novel journals their first year being totally food-independent, starting with the first signs of spring (the Asparagus) through the last pumpkin harvest, describing in poignant detail the pleasure one derives from the hard work of gardening, canning, and responsibly raising food.
