Dead Rules – Randy Russell

Dead Rules













Black humor rules and bowling is deadly in this clever Romeo and Juliet turned on its head.


The Night Circus – Erin Morgenstern

A contest of skill, a love story, a world of dreams open only after dusk, The Night Circus is an ambitious debut painted in lavish detail — a remarkable feat.


Flyaway – Helen Landalf

Stevie faces and finally comes to terms with her mother’s limitations in this gritty yet hopeful look at addiction and how it affects family relationships.

    Liesl, it is good. I was so impressed by the scope of it all.

    Jill, you’ll have to read Dead Rules. It really is fun and morbid and strange and fun.

    That is so succinct! I’m in awe. I usually end up with several sentences while trying to sum up a book. And they all sound very interesting too.

    wow, this is so cool, I love this idea of one line reviews. I get so behind on my reviewing, this may be sometime I have to try in the future!
