Scavengers (Lesbian Adventure Club, #1)Scavengers by Rosalyn Wraight

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don’t read paper books much any more as the font is too small and the lines too close together for my eyes to stay on track. But in small bits I try to get through the tree books I do have. So, though this book is only 90 so pages long, it took me forever to read it. Even so, it kept my interest.

The story is about a group of lesbian couples who get together to go on a scavenger hunt set up by the older couple of the group. That sounds boring, But Ms. Rosalyn Wraight’s writing is so entertaining and the story is very cohesive. There isn’t any erotica but rather it is about the characters and their significant others and how life’s challenges are met by each, not just the game but where the characters are in their lives and how they react to aspects of the game as they do to life. Gee, I’m not doing this justice.

It doesn’t matter if you are straight or any of the rest of the lbgt alphabet, this story is worth the read. Rosalyn know how to write in clever, poetic ways that work in this cute story. Try it, you might like it, too! By the way, the first book is only $.99 and the rest of the series is $2.99 each. I can’t wait to read more of them. Those are the Kindle prices I will go buy with from now on. 😉

Once Darkness Falls (Preternatural Affairs, #7)Once Darkness Falls by S.M. Reine

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow! Guess who moved out of Reno just in time!!!! This may my most favorite thing that Sara Reine does, she shakes up a city, and at times totally ruins it! Reno and its surrounding areas are toast! Don’t worry. It’s all fiction. But it is fun to see landmarks and downtown areas in the novels I read. “I’ve been there!” and other feelings of déjà vu happen throughout Ms. Reine’s books whether it is Los Angeles or other well know cities. I like that!

While S.M. Reine is one of my favorite authors, the stories about César are not my favorites. They are okay and full of good humor among the nail-biting tensions that this character has to deal with. Even so, I read these stories to stay in the overall series. Sara often brings in characters from other parts of the series-es(?)

I think that Ms. Reine makes plausible male main characters. Much better than the male authors do with writing females, in my opinion. But then, I’m not male so how could I tell for sure?

In this book, we get to see Elise once more. Other names of others in other parts of the overall series show up.

This is book 7 and though it doesn’t end in a cliff-hanger (there is a moment of quiet) I can’t wait to see what is coming up next for Reno and César.

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I pick up a lot of books on crocheting and other arts and crafts. Mostly I am looking for my next project. Even instructional books, like this one, have some cool patterns I might not have seen elsewhere. But, alas! This book doesn’t do it for me.

Yes, the instructions are written fairly well. I mean the language is easy to understand. But the font is greyed out in a lot of places where I couldn’t read it without getting a headache. Thank goodness, and a few aunts, I know how to crochet already and I didn’t have to start with this book.

And though this is illustrated, there just are not enough, nor accurate pictures to help a novice. And I found no new ideas for my own collection of patterns. Sigh!
