WELCOME

SEARCH BY AGE

At the end of a long day, or long work week, we all look for some means of escape. Some people watch their favorite sitcom re-runs to relax. Some people go to the movies. With small children, I am housebound in the evenings, and I prefer to pick up a book.

When I pick up a book, I want to sink into a world that will tune out my own. Sometimes I reach for well worn volumes that I have already read several years past, and I escape into another world, peopled by characters that are as familiar to me as my own family. The books that I prefer tend to have strong heroes or heroines: sometimes extraordinary people with magical powers, sometimes ordinary people whose actions make them extraordinary.

When I find an author that I like, I tend to read ALL of their work. When I am finished, I search high and low for other authors that can take me to other worlds on other adventures. On this site, I list the authors that I have discovered and their books that I most recommend. If you can recommend other authors, please do!! Send me your opinions, please.

Freedom Series

Adult

This series by Anne McCaffrey is an entertaining adventure of a student kidnapped by aliens and farmed to a primitive planet. How the survivors team together, relationships that develop, and the ultimate fight against the evil overlords makes a very good read. There is some graphic romance, so I give this an adult reader rating.
