New! My reviews frequently appear on Kimberly Pauley's amazing site for readers of young adult and kids books, Young Adult (& Kids!) Book Central . Keep an eye on the blog to find updated reviews from several reviewers.

Book Reporter Reviews:

I devoured Man Camp by Adrienne Brodeur (and also enjoyed the Man Camp Web site !)

The Painted Drum is yet another triumph for Louise Erdrich.

Barbara Delinsky's Looking for Peyton Place is an enjoyable read. . .

 . . .and so is Debbie Macomber's A Good Yarn .

User I.D. by Jenefer Shute is a can't-put-it-down psychological thriller (it scared me to death!).
