April Reading

Those of you who like urban fantasy involving dragons may wish to consider Different Lee, the first book in the Different Dragons series, which is available for $0.99 for a limited time.

Different Lee

Abandoned at birth, DL has tried to cut himself off from his past as much as possible, lying if necessary to conceal what little he knows about himself. Then he starts to have strange, unsettling dreams of goals he must reach before shadowy enemies can stop him. When these dreams begin to intrude into his waking life, and he starts to develop unusual abilities, he realizes that he may be more than human. Unfortunately, others realize the truth about DL, and they want his blood–literally!

If you find this series interesting, you might also wish to consider Ivy League Illusion on Substack.It’s an in-progress serial that takes place after the end of the third book in the Different Dragons series, though it can also be read as a standalone.

    I don’t really have a favorite book. I have some authors I really love like jodi picoult and colleen hoover, but I enjoy such a wide variety of books it is hard to lavel just one as a favorite.

    I enjoy reading to my kids every night before bed, helping them read and pronounce new words is truly exciting!

    I loved Deaths Queen! I enjoy very much getting outside my own brain and out of the world for a while. And by a while I mean hours. I’d rather read a good fantasy book and be in my own world.

    I love so many books I don’t know if I could pick a favorite, but I’m currently rereading Stephen King’s Fairy Tale and I had forgotten how much I loved it.

    It’s to hard to pick a favorite since so many of them look like good reads. I appreciate you always introducing us to new authors and new books from authors we already know.

    One of my favorite books is “His Master’s Voice” by Stanislaw Lem. A scifi in form, but a deep psychological study on our attempt to understand the communication from (probably) a different lifeform. Slow burn, but highly recommended.

    My favorite book has always been The Catcher in the Rye because Holden’s raw honesty and struggle to find meaning in a “phony” world have always felt deeply relatable.

    My favorite book of all time is A Wrinkle in Time. When I read it as a child, I read it over and over so many times that the book fell apart. Still have it!

    My favorite book would have to be The Count of Monte Cristo because it is a story about redemption, revenge, God and forgiveness.

    Since I have yet to narrow down my many reads to only one favorite book, I’ll just say this: My gratitude for authors of books who elevate my daily experiences is immeasurable.

    To be honest I haven’t read a book in awhile. I’ve been trying to find a good audio book for times I’m at the hospital.

    To Kill A Mockingbird is my favorite book. I read the book when I was in high school and then watched the movie, which I also loved.

    It’s an old one, but still one of my favorites: “Stranger in a Strange Land” by Robert A. Heinlein. I first read it when I was in the Army and it spoke to me…or should I say “I groked the fullness.”

    It’s so hard to pick one favorite. I recently read Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt and I enjoyed how McCourt uses humor and vivid detail to portray the hardships of his childhood in Ireland.

    The Runes Series by Ednah Walters sucked me right in! Sadly, she passed away before finishing the series, but it’s definitely worth reading. I could not put these books down.

    It’s really hard to choose a favorite book! I’ve always loved The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Pride and Prejudice is another favorite.
