Alright, so we already know I was a fan of Sarah J Maas's Court of Thorns and Roses, so it comes as no surprise that I enjoyed this book. It is a big book that you can settle into for several days/weeks depending on your reading speed. Personally, I had some time off with my… Continue reading Book Review – Crescent City by Sarah J Maas

Book Review – Six of Crows & Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
That's right, after I finished the Shadow and Bone Trilogy, I set out to read Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom Duology. Because I had to meet Kaz Brekker in a literary fashion. For those who don't have Netflix and haven't had the pleasure of seeing season one of Shadow and Bone, the… Continue reading Book Review – Six of Crows & Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
Book Review – Black Powder War by Naomi Novik
Our family started the Temeraire series on the road trip to New England and we were excited to see where the story went in this third book. Laurence and Temeraire are now staples in our household, to the point that we've taken to nicknaming our cats after the dragons. (Nicknames only, because to me they… Continue reading Book Review – Black Powder War by Naomi Novik
Book Review – The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg
I liked this book so much, I listened to it twice. The first time was just for myself, and the second time I played the audible version for my son in the evenings before bed. Admittedly, the book is about a female magician, but my son liked it just the same. Without giving spoilers -… Continue reading Book Review – The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg
About Reviews – April Round Robin
My mother always taught me that if I didn't have anything nice to say, I shouldn't say anything at all. While I haven't always followed that advice, I'm certain many authors wish critics would. I've had one or two reviews that scoured my work to the bone, which ... let's be honest here ... required… Continue reading About Reviews – April Round Robin
X-Men Days of Future Past – Review
I've never been shy about my inner Geek. Well, I can't really call it my "inner" Geek, can I? I've posted about playing Star Trek Online with my kid (we're watching Voyager now, by the way) and I've talked about nearly every comic-based movie I've gone to see in recent years. So ... the cat's… Continue reading X-Men Days of Future Past – Review
Star Trek Into Darkness Review
That's right. This science fiction geek totally went to see Star Trek this weekend. I'll admit that I sorta knew what was coming because I follow Tor.com and they had some reviews up there (they said not to read the bottom comments due to spoilers, but I read them anyway because ... yeah ... I… Continue reading Star Trek Into Darkness Review
The Hobbit Movie Review
My mother drove two hours up to my city so that we could go see The Hobbit yesterday. We planned it for right after my first final -- which was an oral exam that was quite terrifying, if I must be honest. I was a little torn about The Hobbit since I didn't like the… Continue reading The Hobbit Movie Review
Snow White and the Huntsman
Fridays are normally my homework days while I'm in school, but this week was my first week on my little summer break (it's only two weeks long before the Fall semester starts) and I decided I was going to treat myself to a movie. (A three dollar movie, but hey, it's the one I wanted… Continue reading Snow White and the Huntsman
Jane Eyre
I have fond memories of this book. I read it while I was in advanced training in the Army. I even remember a Drill Sergeant seeing it in my locker and asking me what in the world I was doing in the military when I read things like that. (That's not to say that today's… Continue reading Jane Eyre
