​Following the advice to “write what you know,” ANISE EDEN authors psychological suspense and paranormal romance novels. Her qualifications include growing up in the countryside where rattlesnakes and cougars jumped out of nowhere; living with family members who are a little bit psychic; and having her life saved on more than one occasion by her SEAL Team of guardian angels.

After college, Anise soaked up life in NYC, Washington DC, and points in between. She tried her hand at grooming horses, scooping ice cream, and designing billboards before returning to school to become a psychotherapist. Though she left that field after many rewarding years, Anise remains a passionate mental health advocate.

Continuing her real-life adventures, Anise is now exploring life in Ireland with her husband and their small, benevolent canine dictator. While her books have won multiple awards, Anise’s propensity for dropping glass objects while barefoot makes it highly likely that her next win will be a Darwin Award.

Below are the books that I read in July and my thoughts on each one. 

I'm trying to do the Fold Reading Challenge to diversify my reading. In July, I was to read a book translated by an independent Canadian press. I failed. But I did read a diverse collection of books. In August, I'm to read a novel or book of poetry by a Caribbean author. And I've already started reading a book for that.

Below are the books that I read in May and my review for each. I guess I liked blue in May, as all the books I read during the month, including the one I'm reading now, have blue covers.

I'm trying to do the Fold Reading Challenge to diversify my reading. In May, it suggested to read a Historical Fiction by a South Asian author. I tried, but it was a DNF (which I never post about). So, I read a Medial Thriller by a South Asian author. Though I take some liberties with their suggestions, I am still diversifying my reading. And that is the point. In June, I'll be reading a book by a Cree author. And I already have one sitting on my bookshelf for that.
