The Fireside Chats

  • The age old question…..

    Paperbacks versus hardcovers versus e-books versus audiobooks………which one do you prefer to read? Paperbacks: For some reason, I’ve always liked paperbacks over hardcovers and I don’t know why. I do love the smell of books, in general, but that wouldn’t change from paperbacks to hardcovers. Maybe I just like the way a paperback feels in…

  • Another new e-book!

    I purchased another e-book to add to my Kindle. I do enjoy literature from the horror genre. However, this is a collection of short stories from the horror genre and they all revolve around Christmas in some form or fashion. I’m anxious to give this one a try as well. Synopsis: Dive into a realm…

  • “I Only Hope My Voice Doesn’t Skip” by Alicia Cook

    I finished reading this one today and thought I’d share. This author is a little different than what I normally read when it comes to poetry. I’m not saying they’re bad, don’t get me wrong. The poetry was just a little different and not what I was use to. I think my favorite was on page 107/108. I’d recommend this…

  • “Where Hope Comes From” by Nikita Gill

    I finished this one up and let me say that I think I was a little bit late to the party on this one. I think this was meant to be read during the height of the pandemic, however, there is still some poetry here that could pertain to your life outside of it as well. My…

  • “The House” by Christina Lauren

    If Shirley Jackson’s “The Haunting of Hill House” book and Stephanie Meyer’s “Twilight” series had a baby…..it would be this book from Christina Lauren. I was going into this thinking this thinking it was going to be a simple haunted house book and that’s all. Well, the house is different……it’s not just haunted but it’s…

  • “The Road Between” by Courtney Peppernell

    I finished reading this one and I have to say that I enjoyed it. This doesn’t come as a surprise because I have enjoyed several books by this same author. The author didn’t disappoint with this book. It’s broken down to several sections but they all have to deal with different aspects to living this life we live. Although…
