Confuzzled Books

If you are wondering what kinds of books I review and events I host, this little section is the place to look. Books I love to read: Children's, Young Adult, Paranormal and Fantasy books. Books I like to read: General Fiction, Romances, Religious Fiction, Mysteries and Biographies. So those are the genres of books I will generally review. If you send me a book outside of those areas, I'll consider it, but it may not fit my tastes. Reviews will take about 2 months to post; I try to post them around the time the book is released. On giveaways: Sending me a signed book to give away on the site is a great way to get your book noticed. I do a "mystery book" giveaway about every 2 weeks, where I read the book and twitter about it without revealing its title, then reveal what I've been reading and give it away. The whole event takes a couple weeks, and I feature the giveaway book on my blog for most of that time.

The Crossroads (Stories from the Golden Age)

Crossroads, The (Stories from the Golden Age) - L. Ron Hubbard I have read a few of Hubbard’s short stories I have to say that this one was my favorite ...well at least the first two stories are. It surprised me because I did not think I would find anything of Hubbard I would like but the first two stories are different. The Crossroads A poor farmer leaves his home hoping to sell the food he has grown. On his travel to the city he comes to a crossroad. Not knowing where to go he sits for lunch. As he stays at the crossroad strange and unusual people stop by and barter with him. Borrowed Glory An old woman is offered a deal from a angel. She will give her youth and everything she wants for 2 days but after those days she will turned back to her present circumstances. The Devil’s Rescue A survivor of a boat wreck is found by another ship. They bring him back to health only to hope to imprison him on the ship. As I said the first two stories are in my opinion better than the last. They are more like fables where the last one is written differently. I feel like first two stories you have a little fun reading them. Devil’s Rescue you kind of have to work your brain harder to understand what is going on. I would recommend this book for fantasy lovers.
