My Mission!

My Name is Christina Rogers, I love to read and I am a firm believer that books can change a person's life. For instance...Murder in the Cove was the first book I ever read at about 21 years old. I could always read, just never found anything that really sparked my interest, until that book! It still remains one of my favorites to this day. Generation Dead by Dan Waters is a great book for people who are in situations (being bullied mainly) to realize they are not alone. I found solace in that knowledge and it made me feel stronger, and more Confident about myself, seeing these characters overcome so much made me believe I could overcome my adversities as well.

There are so many books out there! Authors of whom you may not have herd of, and there is my primary Goal...To bring to you Not only books others know and love, but also to show you new Authors, and Titles that probably would not have been brought to your attention until now. For instance, Few have herd of Dan Waters Author of The Generation Dead Novels, Michelle Zink who wrote The Prophecy of the sisters. Or Canadian Writers such as, Kathleen J. Farthing- Murder in the Cove, or Lesley Crewe-Relative Happiness, and Shoot me. If this is the case, and you haven't herd of these Writers and their great books you may be missing out on the greatest book you would ever read.
No matter what, there is a book out there for you. Weather it be Michelle Zink's Prophecy of the sisters, where two sisters have to fight against each other in a true test of love and Destiny/fate, or J.K Rowlings Harry Potter Fighting for survival and Friendship. Or maybe you wish to fight Valentine and disobey the Clave in an attempt to save love, and lives in Cassandra Clare's Infernal Devices, and Mortal Instruments. There is With out a doubt a book out there that speaks to you.

My mission is to help you find it. I have a very vast Library of books, my goal is to review these books and hopefully open up a world of mystery and magic for you, or Allow you to find a book that will broaden your horizons, and give you facts that you have been searching for. From Non-Fiction to Fiction, Adult to Childhood books I hope to help you find your perfect match.


So give me ideas of what you like, let me know what your favorite Genres of books are. or just browse through what already lies in the pages of this blog, there is something for you, I just Know it!

Happy Reading,

Christina Rogers

The Lunenburg Werewolf


The Lunenburg Werewolf And Other Stories of the Supernatural
By: Steve Vernon






 
This book is awesome! I love books that touch on the supernatural, the stories in The Lunenburg Werewolf are not long, so it makes the book very Quick and easy to read. Steve does a fantastic job of telling these stories, and giving them a sense of realism. I love the history he adds at the beginning of  each story, it really makes it come to life.
 
I usually tell you which Story I like best, but honestly I don't think I can choose just one, Although I think "The Lady in Blue" gave me real chills. This summer I spent a lot of time traveling around Canada in an eighteen wheeler, I spent much time at Peggy's cove, so this story really tickled my spine.
 
I highly recommend reading this book, Especially if you like Real Life Ghost Stories. I'm thinking maybe this summer I'll travel Nova Scotia trying to find all the Ghosts.
 
Enjoy this read. I know I did!
 
 
A little about Steve:
Steve learned the tradition of storytelling from his Grandfather, in my opinion he is very good at it. He now carries on the tradition by teaching Nova Scotia children the same art. Steve has written over fifty published short stories, along with several books. Check out his website at users.eastlink.ca/~stevevernon
