To the Nightstand Book Reviews Community:

After a marvelously successful and rewarding 12 years, at the end of 2024, NBR said goodbye. 

Nightstand Book Reviews was a site devoted to reviews of books that are great reads. Under this umbrella were books written by bestselling authors as well as by debut novelists in both ebook and paper format.

I have been asked why I never ranted (in a bad way) about a book on NBR. This was a review site for recommendations, not bashing.

What you would find here: Reviews of books in several different genres, including thrillers, mysteries, adventures, romantic suspense, Christian fiction, cozies, women’s fiction, as well as the occasional notable non-fiction titles – and any combination of those areas of interest. The occasional sci-fi, fantasy, or historical novel would appear, but usually when written within the genres mentioned above.

The subscribers and I paid attention to various Awards bestowed in the world of books, so many Award results were posted throughout the years.

What you would not see here: Reviews of children’s books, unless written by guest reviewers. In addition, I did not review horror, graphic, or erotica novels.

A note to readers: My views were my own. I did not receive monetary compensation for any of the book reviews. I did, however, receive thank-you emails, rave tweets, and cyberhugs.

At the end of 2024, we at the Nightstand Book Reviews site began the process of shutting down. By the end of May of 2025, we anticipate that the site and the articles will disappear into cyberspace.

Please join us at  www.kerriansnotebook.com for fun, facts and a few dead bodies. We focus on crime, share info about novels of mystery and suspense, conduct quarterly book drawings, and feature the occasional yummy taste-tested recipes that the Kerrians find (and then re-create) during their travels.

Many a warm thank you for your loyal readership and friendship at NBR throughout the years! It has been deeply appreciated.

Most sincerely,
Patti Phillips
