What You Should Be Reading for Fall


We all agree readers are leaders (S/O to Language Arts teachers everywhere!) and thanks to the famous Fifty Shades of Grey and Hunger Game trilogies (full disclosure: I have read both), reading has become en vogue again ( I know it was never out of style for some of you).  However, it seems like the popularity of a book is less about the quality of writing and more about if it causes you to raise a brow. I would venture to say, that to a degree, what we read is becoming a lot like what we watch on TV-not all that mentally simulating.

But never fear my stylish reading friends, I have some great news for you! SWS has found an excellent book that is both rich in quality writing and brow raising scenes (I'm talking strip clubs, cops and murder, yeah, like that!).

For those of you reading this from Houston, TX you probably remember all too well the fear that gripped the city in the late 1990s due to the murders that were committed by the "Railroad Killer" aka Rafael Resendez-Ramirez.

In his debut novel, Devils Walk Through Galveston, Joseph M. Schreiber  conjures up memories of the "Railroad Killer" and captures the mystery of the unassuming killers-the devils that walk among us-and the how things go down with the police work gets mixed with politics. It's a fast moving story with lots of twists, turns, and brow raising prose and scenes.

Devils Walk Through Galveston is available on Amazon.com in paper back or Kindle format.

Go check it out and be sure to tell your friends and book clubbers who are ready for something a little "meatier" to read after taking it easy this summer.

Reading, it's what's in style (again :-)).

  1. I'm very excited to hear about "Devil's Walk Through Galveston!" I'm normally not a mystery, suspense type of girl but your description of the book has totally piqued my interest. My husband has purchased the book so I plan to steal his copy once he's done. Can't wait to share my review...stay tuned:-)
