Ten Plus One Books Worth Reading - Fox's Picks
Borrowed this idea from another blog post. Listing 10 books plus the Book, that in my humble opinion are worth reading. Some of them are books for kids but recommended for adults who still eat sugary cereals when nobody's looking. Picture books, in particular, are quick and easy reads, often fun, and sometimes very profound!!
* * *
- (1) A Rose in Winter
- (2) Shannah
- (3) The World of Steve Ditko
- (4) Brothers in Arms
For fans (like me) of Jane Yolen or students of ancient China.
* * * * * * * *
The Phoenix rising from the ashes is a myth. However, the American bald eagle is real and almost became extinct. But now the eagle soars again!
* * * * * * * *
- (7) Witch Hunt
Urban fantasy is rising to the top of popular book genres.
* * *
* * *
- (8) Shipwrecked: Tang Treasures and Monsoon Winds
- (9) Island of the Lost: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World
- (10) Shipwreck: A Saga of Sea Tragedy and Sunken Treasure
Mysteries revealed. True stories of ships lost at sea. (SPOILER: None of them were attacked by pirates.)
* * * * * * * *
BONUS! Final suggestion: The Book aka The Bible. More specifically?

Book Review: THE DEPOSIT SLIP (Reblog)
Reblogging. Excellent book review by Cynthia Rodrigues Manchekar, a member of the Authentic Blogger Group on Facebook. One of my friends is a die-hard John Grisham fan and her one-liner summary review for this particular book was a hook! She described it as: “A courtroom drama that just might depose John Grisham .” Had to know more!
This is debut novel for author Todd Johnson. Here is a striking statement from her review that peaks your interest: “... Todd has shown enough talent here to depose John Grisham as the reigning king of courtroom dramas. … Because Todd is a Christian author, there's more to The Deposit Slip than the pursuit of justice alone. There is also the need for forgiveness and reconciliation ...”
Love courtroom drama?
Then this should be an addition to your reading list.
Here are scenes from various movies adapted from a Grisham book. Do you recognize the film?

The Death Game: Book Review by Chris Longmuir
Found the link below because it was shared in a Writers, Readers, Researchers & Reviewers Group on Facebook. I prefer historical romance novels myself but the reviewer seemed to be really enthusiastic about this historical mystery. It has peaked my interest in exploring other historical mysteries.

Book Suggestions: Political Thrillers by F. C. Etier
On November 7, 2012, with the official publication of a political thriller entitled The Tourist Killer, Frank C. "Chip" Etier added - Published Author - to an already impressive list of accomplished career objectives. The novel is a fast-paced thriller with political overtones, conspiracy and intrigue. The main character, Claudia Barry is "The Shooter", a female professional assassin, who is about to retire. But before she can complete her last assignment, close out a 30-year career and fade into the sunset, she just has to answer a simple question: Can a leopard change her spots?
Finding the answer to the question may prove to be somewhat complicated.
Blogcritics.org states that "The Tourist Killer is a strong first novel by a promising author." Other reviewers have described this book as: "exhilarating", "intense", "surprisingly good", "electrifying", "a refreshing angle". But you know you've got a really satisfied audience of readers, when they start hinting about what a great movie it would be. Mr. Etier shared a snippet of his novel as his weekly contribution to the Weekend Writing Warriors project.
The Presidents Club
A Weekly Serial Novel by Chip Etier
Mr. Etier ended 2012 on a positive note with the release of his first book and brought in the new year of 2013 with his second novel, The Presidents Club, which is being presented as a weekly serial novel by Venture Galleries, a publishing house that promotes the works of independent authors. The novel will soon be available on Amazon as an e-book and a trade paperback. Soon!
Future Projects?
An Interview of Mr. Etier About His Next Career Move
The Phoenix is the writer team of Lee and Gary Jordan. The Jordans also interview authors and publish book reviews and interviews at their Phoenix Book Review Site. On January 10, 2013, they shared their conversation with Chip Etier. He discussed a little about his background - his birthplace, Louisiana; his various career paths (pharmacist, artist/photographer, writer); and mentioned that his writing influences range from Dr. Seuss to John Grisham. (That's quite a range.) He then concluded the interview by responding to questions about what led him to write the two novels, and his plans to write more.
You can tell by the tone of the interview that Mr. Etier is a very humble guy and perfectly content to live with Bob (aka Miss Bob), his "drop dead, gorgeous" wife in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. So the interview gives no indication that he's even thinking along these lines. But the fact that Mr. Etier has successfully published two outstanding thrillers should come as no surprise to anyone who has ever read anything he has written. Why not place him side by side with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? If people are already raving about converting his first book, The Tourist Killer, into a blockbuster hit; then might as well consider adapting The Presidents Club into a TV miniseries. Maybe plans are in the works and he's just keeping it hush hush. Then again maybe he hasn't been approached on the subject. Not yet! :)

The Chocolate Lady's Book Reviews: Five (or seven) GOOD things to come out of 2016 (Reblog)
Happy to reblog and share this Featured Post from a fellow blogger, Davida Chazan, who is a "Go To" person if you're searching for good reads. Here is her suggested reading for 2016:
The Chocolate Lady's Book Reviews: Five (or seven) GOOD things to come out of 2016
Her reviews and other writings are so good I invited her to contribute to my group board on Pinterest: Freelance Writer. We crossed paths because we both contribute short posts to a site called "Daily Two Cents". This site has a revenue-share plan for those who have a Google Ad Sense account and allows you to earn 100% of your commissions, if your post includes an affiliate referral link. It's reasonable. Don't you think? This is the link to her DTC profile: drchazan aka Chocolate Lady.
(This is my DTC author profile, if you're interested: cmoneyspinner, if you're interested.)
Book lovers will probably appreciate her faves lists for previous years too!
I love her blog's tagline. It reads:
What a hook! So of course I had to find something chocolate at her blog. Found it!

The REAL Chocolate Wars
The REAL Chocolate Wars
It's all because of Ms. Brenner's writing style. Ms. Brenner brings even the very mundane into the world of extreme interest. She makes much out of the intrigue so that although it's really economics, it's still interesting. She works her way around marketing so that it's suddenly as moving as a love scene.
