Book Review: The Preacher

The Preacher by Ted Thackrey Jr.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Pretty good book. The first of a short series. The Preacher is an ex-priest, ex-soldier, who has found his calling as a professional poker player. He's been called to the town of Farewell, NM by an old friend from his priesthood days to help uncover what caused one of the local citizens to possibly commit suicide leaving his business and loving family behind.

Review: Tail Gait by Rita Mae Brown

I just finished the upcoming novel Tail Gait, by Rita Mae Brown. It's a very good read if you enjoy a good cozy with paws. This one has Harry and her furry assistants ferreting out a couple of murders connected to the local university and its football team alumni. It has been awhile since I looked at this series of mysteries and I'm glad to see that it continues with vigor. The title comes out from Bantam in May of 2015 and it's worth watching for.

Book Review: The Monkey King

The Monkey King: A Superhero Tale of China by Aaron Shephard
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Good read, pretty short. I read another version of the Monkey King story while in Junior High. I found it fascinating. This is a very faithful modern language adaptation. Wish it were longer!
