Book Tardis: October 2014
http://booktardis.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Book reviews and all things to do with books! Thursday, October 16, 2014. Reading vs. Being Read To. I recently went on a vacation to a destination approximately 1,600 miles from where I live. If you do the math, that's roughly 27 hours of driving, each way. (Somehow it felt twice as long on the way home than it did on the way going! That's a LOT of time in the car! To a story or book? One source many people overlook is their public library! Selection of books on CD! If you've never read it, it's a wonde...

Book reviews and all things to do with books! Tuesday, July 21, 2015. What would you do if a bunch of confused, naked people walked into your back yard from the woods next door? It happened to Sean Casey in Boone County, Iowa this past Sunday*! This book was impossible to put down after Sean's house becomes ground zero. As quickly as he was running through sheets and towels to help the confused no-longer-dead folks cover up, I was reading through the pages trying to find out what would happen next! If yo...

Book Tardis: Medicine Walk
http://booktardis.blogspot.com/2015/08/medicine-walk.html
Book reviews and all things to do with books! Saturday, August 1, 2015. I really enjoyed this book which centers on the heart-rending moments of a young man's journey through the dying and burying of his biological father, and that man's attempt to share who he is with a son he does not know. The book is set in the mountains of Canada and features strong influences of issues surrounding Native American which play a major part in the novel. The writing reminded me of Kent Haruf's Plainsong. Is one of Cana...
