    Review: Copper Lilies - Bradon Nave - February 2016   When I saw that Bradon Nave had a book out as part of the tour, I knew I had to read it as I had previously read two of his earlier books and I loved them as they were both powerful and emotional reads. What I didn't expect though was that after not long finishing a book where the main character's brother passed away from AIDS - the book set in 1984 , that I would in a span of less than a month pick up another one with that particular topic. Copper Lilies is set in 1986 in San Francisco , in a time where AIDS is becoming more recognised as a fatal disease and the pride life is blooming. I have to admit, that I did struggle with this particular book as in parts found it hard to connect to the characters and to me the story felt disjointed. It did however, give me a snapshot of what it was like in the mid- 1980's with the rising of AIDS and making people aware of it and also letting people know th...

  Review: Just As I Am - Book#1 Just As I Am - Virginia Smith - February 2006 This Christian fiction novel is for all those out there that have ever wondered that just because they want to become a Christian - do they have to change their appearances on the outside . Before New Adult became a popular genre in the past few years, there was just teens and adult books and Just As I Am was considered an adult novel but it is in fact aimed at the mid -late 20's and possibly early 30's age group as we meet Mayla who I would put as late 20's . She has purple hair and facial piercings and works in a bar at night as her second job.
