November Reflection and Wrap-Up

As I sit down to write this, it’s the very last day of November. We’re right in the middle of a busy holiday shopping season at the bookstore, and 2023 is coming to an end. As it typical for me, I’m already starting to think about next year. The little notebook I’ve been using to... Continue Reading →

October 2023 Reflection

I know I say this practically every month, but I cannot BELIEVE we’re already in November. Actually, since it’s taken me forever to get a minute to sit down and do this reflection, we’re almost two weeks into November already. It’s time to take a look at what I got done in October.  If you’ve... Continue Reading →

2023 Book Review: Gearteeth

Gearteeth by Timothy Black A Fantasy, 2012 by Dreamsphere, 411 Pages  What I Didn’t Like: Weird formatting, which won’t affect my rating but did affect the readability. The chapter breaks don’t register in a Kindle and there’s no table of contents to use to judge chapter length. Also, there was a break in the middle... Continue Reading →

2023 Book Review: The Terminal List

The Terminal List by Jack Carr A Mystery/Thriller, 2018 by Atria, 408 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Very detailed descriptions. This isn’t a negative for everyone, I know. But if you don’t like very wordy paragraphs packed with tons of details, consider this a content warning.  Torture, which is a content warning of sorts. It... Continue Reading →

2023 Book Review: The Innocent One

The Innocent One by Lisa Ballantyne A Mystery/Thriller, 2022 by Pegasus Crime, 352 Pages  What I Didn’t Like: A little predictable and sort of similar to a lot out there in the way the ending played out. I wanted something more unique than I got. The pacing is not consistent throughout the story. The middle... Continue Reading →

2023 Book Review: I’ll Give You the Sun

I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson YA Contemporary, 2014 by Dial Books, 371 Pages  What I Didn’t Like: Jarring switch between chapter 1 and chapter 2. You seriously feel like you missed so much you’re almost in a different world. Of course, I think that was the point. But it’s jarring.  REALLY long... Continue Reading →

2023 Book Review: Club Dead

Club Dead by Charlaine Harris A Paranormal, 2003 by Orbit, 279 Pages  What I Didn’t Like: The ending leaves way too much unresolved (and that’s coming from me). This felt like the first half of a book, you’ll want to add the next one right to your list. The Bubba stuff was funny in book... Continue Reading →

2023 Book Review: Where We Converge

Where We Converge by AE Bross A Fantasy, Independently Published in 2023, 279 Pages  What I Didn’t Like: There’s something creepy about the time travel thing making this romance feel like it has a huge age gap. Plus the connection to one set of parents makes this extra creepy. But I say that about all... Continue Reading →
