New On My Shelf This Week

Carolyn and I are great ‘virtual’ friends, although you might not think so, given how long I take to feature and review her books, when she is kind enough to send me through a copy just as soon as they are available.

Carolyn, I’ll bet that you loved students like me, when you were subbing in your local school, but I do promise to ‘try harder’ in the future and get my homework in on time! 🙂

NO SUBSTITUTE FOR MISINFORMATION

(Subbing isn’t for sissies #7)

Cover Image Of 'No Substitute For Misinformation' by Carolyn J. RoseChaos is, as usual, the default setting for substitute teacher Barbara Reed’s life in Reckless River, Washington. Her ex-husband is in trouble for lying to a judge, her overbearing sister is tailing her, and a series of error-ridden memos have teachers in an uproar. On top of that, if her condo complex doesn’t win the holiday decorating competition, residents may never be rid of their obnoxious manager. But nothing can stop Barb and her friends from heading to Las Vegas to see their wealthy neighbor Muriel Ballantine compete in a seasoned showgirl reality program. 

Nothing, that is, except mutiny. And murder. 

Unless Barb’s detective boyfriend finds a killer, he won’t be in the audience. And unless Barb’s entitled dog Cheese Puff calls off his strike and gets back to rehearsing, Mrs. B’s routine will be doomed before she takes the stage. 

Clicking on the book’s title will link you directly with it’s Goodreads listing.

I can’t remember a time, even as a child, when I haven’t been passionate about books and reading.
I began blogging, when I realised just how many other people out there shared my passion for the written word and I have been continually amazed at the wealth of books that are available and the amount of great new friends I have made, from literally 'The Four Corners Of The World'.
