Kindle Ninja Review: RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB Edition #5 Bring Me Sunshine

By ChaoticNinja







Bring Me Sunshine by Wendy Storer (@WendyStorer) is a must read. It's heart-wrenching. It's a reality that's usually unnoticed or even ignored. Wendy evokes a keen sense of sadness and yet uplifts you in the most profound way.


This is the last book review for the month of April.

Episode 23 Conversations over Milk & Cookies - Stevie Turner

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. KINDLE NINJA:   Welcome to Conversations...

Episode 24 Conversations over Milk & Cookies - Effrosyni Moschoudi

Welcome to Episode 24 of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  hosted by Kindle Ninja. Hi, Kindle Ninja here, you know, the ninja who occasionally stalks indie authors and invites them to conversations over Milk & Cookies.  What is this madness, you ask? It's my way of supporting indie authors. 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.  Of course, that changed considerably when the Milk & Cookies segment was born. Since its inception, we've seen the funny side, silly side, dark side, and all other sides that these wonderful authors don't let show.  Today, I'm having a conversation with author Effrosyni Moschoudi. I've been stalking following Fros for some time now and I enjoy hanging out at her wonderful blog without her knowing (what? that's stalking?). I come f...

Live For This: Unbreaking the Broken

By ChaoticNinja

I didn’t plan on reading  Live For This   by  Kathryn Biel because in my mind, it’s one of those stories that will make me feel miserable after reading. Surely, a man with a broken body and woman with a shattered soul is a downright depressing combination, yeah? Well, guess what? It’s not that at all. I didn’t feel like the world is crashing down on me. There’s no feeling of heaviness or misery or grief. Nothing of that sort. This is superbly written. It’s hitting the right notes. The jokes are landing. The drama bits are heart-rending and just tug at this ninja’s heartstrings. Perhaps the only problem here is that it has similarities to Jojo Moyes’ “Me Before You” . Now, I don’t know if t his was inspired by the book or the similar events are just mere coincidences. It might bother some readers, but it does not bother me all that much because there is a clear divergence in storyline. This is not a story that’s just written for the sake of eliciting ...

Boston Metaphysical Society PRELUDE: Top-notch Steampunk!

By ChaoticNinja

Boston Metaphysical Society: PRELUDE is a collection of short stories that have very important links to the Boston Metaphysical Society web comics. Written by Madeleine Holly-Rosing , Prelude is a cross between an origin story and a supplementary reading that makes the Boston Metaphysical Society universe far more intriguing. The alternate history of Boston Metaphysical Society is every bit entertaining. Ghosts, demons, supernatural beings and prominent Families that vie for ultimate economic and political control – what’s not to like? It's a rarity to like every story in a collection, but  I love them all - all seven of them. While  it’s not really a requirement to read the web comics series, I would have to say that the impact of the short stories would be more pronounced if the reader has read the Boston Metaphysical Society comics. The secrets and revelations in the stories have a greater impact if one is familiar with the alternate world so cleverly creat...

KINDLE NINJA: TWO REVIEWERS, ONE BOOK - Between Octobers by A.R. Rivera

Welcome to TWO REVIEWERS, ONE BOOK.  When time allows, I invite a reviewer, blogger, author, or random character to sit with me in this very comfortable couch and share our views (opposing or otherwise) on a book we've chosen. My review partner for today is Wendy Storer . She’s the author of ‘ Bring Me Sunshine ’ and ‘ Where Bluebirds Fly '. The book that intrigued us is 'Between Octobers' by A.R.Rivera. Book Description (via Amazon)  Grace Zuniga, a yearling widow, is convinced she can never fall in love again. She has surrendered to a quiet life on a quiet street, existing in a world that revolves around her two young sons—until the moment she steps into an elevator. Evan, also known as Rhys Matthews, is a typical Hollywood playboy. He’s used to women falling all over him, but Grace is different. She makes him believe in love at first sight, and in himself. She’s thoughtful, beautiful, and intelligent—the opposite of his usual typ...
