February is officially over. As you probably already know, I set a pretty lofty reading goal for 2022. My goal is to read 104 books before the year is over. Being that there were 4 full weeks in February, my goal for February should've been 8 books. Let's see how we did. 7 Books (Literally... Continue Reading →
Assassin's Apprentice Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb A Fiction, 1995 by Spectra, 435 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Slow start. This is the first in a trilogy and the world building will likely be essential to the rest of the series, but it takes a long time between any action sequences and that world building...

The Mozart Code The Mozart Code by Rachel McMillan A Historical Romance, 2022 from Thomas Nelson, 368 Pages What I Didn’t Like: If we take this as a serious historical book, it has issues. I didn’t feel like I learned anything in particular about the historical climate, even with the introduction by the author to... Continue Reading →
Heroes Heroes by Brendan Cupp (Editor) A Anthology, 2022 from Lost Boys Press, 385 Pages What I Didn’t Like: As with any anthology, there are a few stories that weren’t really my style. But I’m sure that’s different than the ones that would be YOUR style … and that’s the beauty of anthologies. There were definitely... Continue Reading →
Sneak Sneak by Evan Angler YA Science Fiction, 2012 by Thomas Nelson, 288 Pages What I Didn’t Like: The chapters are further divided into sections. It works for keeping the chapters short and keeping the pace up, but it does make it seem like it’s jumping around a lot. It’s also confusing on the audiobook... Continue Reading →
Pinhole Pinhole by Matthew Kagle A Science Fiction, Independently Published in 2013, 342 Pages What I Didn’t Like: There is a very large cast of characters who you’ll struggle to follow. My advice is to approach this more as a series of short stories surrounding an overall theme of time travel to feel as though... Continue Reading →
The Fatherhood of the Absent Sister The Fatherhood of the Absent Sister by Chloe Armstrong A Poetry, Independently Published in 2022, 49 Pages What I Didn’t Like: I want more. Really, this isn’t a negative, it's just a fact! I hope there’s another poetry book in this author’s future. If I’m being picky (and really I... Continue Reading →
Immortal Return Immortal Return by Jessaca Willis YA Fantasy, Independently Published in 2021, 531 Pages What I Didn’t Like: There were a few grammatical errors in my copy BUT I was working from an ARC so it’s likely these were fixed in the final. There’s a few “false” endings. By that I mean there are a... Continue Reading →
Under My Skin Under My Skin by Lisa Unger A Mystery/Thriller, 2018 by Park Row, 304 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Can be hard to follow. Between time jumps, dream sequences, and confusing circumstances for the main character, this one can be a little difficult to keep track of. There were definitely moments where I...
