Amla Mater by Devi Menon
Even though I have trouble reading online, I am finding even my longer reads there. Such as Amla Mater by Devi Menon.

The Dreidl Disaster by Stacey Agdern
At this time of year, it can be easy to forget that there are holidays other than Christmas. I’m at best, an agnostic and I’ve had several Christmas centered romances on my kindle without trying.

Thank you for Little Pasture on the Prairie! I’m excited to take a trip to the plains and hills of South Dakota this winter.

When a beautiful “maiden” named Tara is found brutally murdered just off campus, psychotherapist Mariana Andros rushes to the university to comfort her niece Zoe, Tara’s best friend. Mariana is convinced that despite his alibi, Fosca is behind the murder, especially when the body of another […]
