Review: The Last Bookaneer by Matthew Pearl
Matthew Pearl has been on my radar for a while now. His books always look so intriguing since they are historic thrillers books…..about books…..but for some reason I just haven’t made it around to reading any of his books. When this one came around to review I jumped at it since this was an author I have wanted to read.

Review: Midnight Crossroad (Midnight, Texas #1) by Charlaine Harris
In the sleepy town of Midnight, TX there is not a whole lot to draw new residents. It’s literally a one stop light town…..a modern day ghost town.
