My Two Cents: This category is my favorite of them all, and reading and reviewing (click to view) The Eldridge Conspiracy, The Secret Room, Hitchin' Post, and Almost a Minyan made me really miss my librarian days - what a blast it would be to share these stories with young children. Author Lindsey Lane was kind enough to give me a coveted copy of Evidence of Things Not Seen, but it still taunts me from the book shelf. Ah, the irony of having a bookish job and never having time for free reading. Good thing my WORK books rock!

My Two Cents: I have read and reviewed (click to view) parts of most of these series, but all of the FABULOUS Sir Kaye the Boy Knight series, the AWE INSPIRING Sawbones Trilogy, and am working on my newest LOVE, the Gethesemene Brown series, now! I read the adventure-filled The Secret Room (the 4th in that series) and fully intend to go back and read 1-3 --already have my copies! The Bonnie and Clyde series has only published the first OUTSTANDING book, but we'll have the next book on LSBBT tour this May, hooray!

MY TWO CENTS: I was fortunate enough to get to read and review (click titles to view) several of these books on their blog tours. I am a huge fan of the Big Bend area and have traveled there many times, but Yonderings blew me away and even months after reading it, I am yearning to go back there. And, WOW, did I learn a lot about some real jewels of West Texas politics in A Witness to History and Equal Opportunity Hero. Reading these two books made me long for when people took positions of office because they cared about people, communities, and the common good. I didn't get to read Understanding Cemetery Symbols (yet), but I did give out two copies for Christmas presents and the recipients were THRILLED.

Understanding Cemetery Symbols by Tui Snider
Yonderings by Ben English
A Witness to History by Janet Neugebauer
Baugh to Brady by Lew Freedman
Equal Opportunity Hero by Phil Price
Of Bulletins and Booze by Bob Horton

MY TWO CENTS: Yonderings was truly one of my favorite books of last year (see above), but The Rebirth of Hope and Bending Angels were right up there on the list, too. Talk about inspirational! These two stories of perseverance and commitment left me feeling awestruck and grateful for the many blessings in my own life.

MY TWO CENTS: If you read my post yesterday, you know that I can't say enough about the Sawbones series. Blood Oath and Badlands truly transported me to another place -- and made me want to be as bad-ass as main character Laura! Sadly, I didn't get to read any of these others, and now I am really jones-ing to since they were voted up! Author Linda Broday is about the nicest person I have ever met and clearly is a crazy talented writer. Have both of these series on the TBR list.
