Whimsey's Newest Review


  • What a lovely and sweet way to start my day!!!!! 
  • Thank you Paige Petroff Bennett for this review of my Whimsey -
  • "I took a short vacation when I picked up Whimsey by Kaye Wilkinson Barley. I went to a delightful island off the coast of Georgia. I met up with some truly Southern Ladies and some Southern Gentlemen. I met a rather strange cat and dog, a cigar smoking lady ghost, and an evil pixie. I had a lot of laughs, a few surprises and only one or two tears ( what's a good novel without a tear or two). This story is a love story, a ghost story, a family saga, a fantasy and a comedy. Do not let yourself miss this trip. Whimsey is the author's first novel and I sure hope it is not her last."

Books Read

Every year I promise myself I'm going to keep a log of books I'm reading. And I immediately forget. Then I remember again, but only after I've already read a few books, but can't be sure I'll remember them all and so - - can't bring myself to start the list. It's sort of like missing the first 30 minutes of a movie. I just can't watch it if I've missed the beginning. And being the anal ol' soul I am, I can't bring myself to start a list if I can't be sure it's going to be a complete one. So. I decided to keep a list during 2010 and found it to be a fun thing. Especially for a compulsive list-maker like myself.
