Over the course of the next three months I will be sharing the authors who feature in the Smorgasbord Bookshelf with the books that I have reviewed and can personally recommend.

In this first part of the summer fair, I am sharing books that are the first in a series in both adult and children’s books along with one of their five star reviews. I hope that this will encourage you to enjoy the series in full. I will feature every author on the shelves by the end of the summer. I hope you will enjoy.

The first book today is the first in the dystopian Renova Series, Tipping Point by Terry Tyler. A gripping look at the aftermath of a virus that has devastated both population and its humanity. I can highly recommend all the books in the series.
