Quick Review: Sugarcoatin' is For Candy & Pacifyin' is For Kids

By ChaoticNinja
While I was reading Nonnie Jules’ “Sugarcoatin’ is for Candy and Pacifyin’ is For Kids”, I felt like a child being schooled. And boy was I schooled good. The funny thing is I am not guilty of the Twitter (or social media) transgressions mentioned in the book. If anything, I am the poster child of good Twitter manners and right conduct.

Then why do I feel guilty of breaking some unspoken rules of social media usage? Because it’s brutally honest and I was just being sympathetic to those at the receiving end. They should be cowering by now.

I agree with many points raised in the book and I’m a little on the fence on some issues. If something’s gotta be said, somebody’s gotta have the guts to say it. And that somebody is Nonnie. Her no-nonsense approach can get to you and get to you it will. 
“Sugarcoatin’ is for Candy and Pacifyin’ is For Kids” 5 / 5 ★★★★★

Kindle Ninja Review: RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB Edition #7

Kindle Ninja Review Edition #7  featuring The Reunion, Dangled Carat, and It Lives In the Basement The Reunion (Beneath the Trap Door) by A.A. Pencil 4 / 5 ★★★★ The first chapter of the book introduces the characters – a whole lot of them. Although author A.A. Pencil created quite an ensemble, it’s a struggle to remember them all (but this is more of a reader’s shortcoming rather than a story flaw). It’s a bit of a slow start, but the personality clashes and banters are enough to keep my interest. It’s not established who the core characters are so you’d be in the dark about 90% of the time, which means you’re speculating most of the time (a good thing!). What started as shallow bickerings and embarrassing trips down memory lane, quickly turned into a gruesome murder spree from an unknown assailant. And this is where it gets maddeningly twisted. It’s reminiscent of slasher films of decades past, but more violent and bizarre.  What...

RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB SPOTLIGHT AUTHOR - HILARY GROSSMAN

It's my honor to host Rave Reviews Book Club Spotlight Author of the Week: HILARY GROSSMAN Every day we feel so many emotions... Some are wonderful and some not so much. I don’t know about you, but to me, regret is the worst feeling in the world. I think because I hate the feeling so much is the reason I wrote DANGLED CARAT . Deciding to write a memoir about your relationship with a commitment-phobic man isn’t easy.  Especially when you know that you have to bare your heart and your soul, share your inner most feelings, as well as many embarrassing moments. And don’t get me started on the s-e-x scene! I lost my confidence many times as I wrote and traveled down the road to publication.   Many times I thought I would just abandon the idea.  After all it would have been much easier... I wasn’t sure that I wanted everyone, especially the people in my “real life” to know everything I thought, felt and did. But no matter how much ...

TIME TO DIE: Frighteningly Devilish

By ChaoticNinja

Time To Die by Caroline Mitchell is a chilling read with an interesting cast of characters whose lives intersect; but not always in the best of situations. I personally like my crime/mystery thriller to be as close to reality as possible. Injecting a paranormal and supernatural twist makes it a little tricky because it could blur the line between what is plausible and what is not. And it’s a question of whether you’re willing to go on board or not. Well, I’m on board and completely gripped! DC Jennifer Knight and a team of specialists with extraordinary skills set out to catch a killer who may or may not have supernatural abilities. Given how elusive he is, he could very well be a mystical creature who commits the most unthinkable crimes. I am impressed at the character dynamics and interaction of the Moonlight Operation squad and fascinated at how they handled the investigation. This is a brilliantly executed crime thriller with a remarkable main character ...

Welcome to Episode 23 of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  hosted by Kindle Ninja. What is this madness, you ask? It's my way of supporting indie authors (some of them are members of the RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB). We interact with them everyday, directly through tweets, or indirectly through re-tweets, but we don't really know much about them. Their personalities really don't shine through in 140 characters. All the EPISODES of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  can be found  HERE .  Or you can just look to your right and you'll find the  Quick Links . In this episode, we feature STEVIE TURNER , author of ' The  Porn Detective ', ' The Pilates Class ', and ' A House of Windows ' (among others). Let's get to know Stevie in more than 140 characters, shall we? ** Green Tea and Lemon Cake were served in this episode because Stevie is allergic to milk and cookies.
