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.

No Snobby Reader was hurt in this conversation. SNOBBY READER: What are you smiling about? KINDLE NINJA: Just finished my list of top 10 books for the year. SNOBBY READER: Let me guess, 9 of 10 are crime and mystery books by Koontz, Patterson, Lehane, and Brown, and one token outlier, possibly a memoir. KINDLE NINJA: Hah! Not even close. These are mostly indie books. Here, have a look - from #10 to #1.   SNOBBY READER: Ah, obscure titles, from unknown authors. KINDLE NINJA: Is that disdain I detect? SNOBBY READER: You know how I feel about crappy books. KINDLE NINJA: There will always be crappy books, indie or not. SNOBBY READER: I read books that challenge the mind. KINDLE NINJA: Calculus books do that, but they’re no fun. You should try to read books outside of your preferred genre. Meet obscure authors. Mingle with the commoners, your Highness. SNOBBY READER: They don’t measure up to the Classics or the Nobel winners. I take plea...

Welcome to Episode 4 of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  hosted by Kindle Ninja. What is this madness, you ask?  It's my way of supporting authors and writers from the  Rave Reviews Book Club . For the entire month of April, I will be featuring the fine women and men that make up the Board of RRBC.  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 tweets and re-tweets. In Episode 1,   We see the silly side of  RRBC Secretary MARLENA HAND   ( @mlh42812 ).   In Episode 2,   RRBC Spotlight and Incentives Coordinator  TERI GARRINGER  ( @TeriGarringer ) bares her funny side in 26 Questions. In Episode 3 ,   RRBC Membership Director  KATHRYN TREAT  ( @KathrynCTreat )   lets her hair down and plays the game of 24 Questions. For Episode 4, RRBC Ho...

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...

Kindle Ninja Review: RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB Edition #2

Kindle Ninja Review Edition #2  featuring Titanian Chronicles and The Coming of the Storm. Titanian Chronicles: Journey of Destiny by Leisl Kaberry  5 / 5 ★★★★ ★ Titanian Chronicles: Journey of Destiny melds elements of Tolkienian fantasy with Potterian whimsicality. Is this a good thing? Absolutely! Whilst it is clearly a derivative (what isn’t?) of legendary tales of adventure, its unpredictability pulls you in to a fantasy world so vividly imagined, where sprightly creatures and beastly hybrids lurk and spring to action. The world-building is epic! It's almost cinematic in depth and detail. Author Leisl Kaberry has created an immersive fantasy world that veered away from the familiar. My only gripe (albeit a minor one) is that it’s quite a struggle to remember names and places. But then that’s what the glossary of terms at the end of the book is for. The main characters have distinct voices and it’s commendable that the author did not f...
