Klune is on tour to promote his newest work, In the Lives of Puppets which is out now. I've reviewed … Continue reading T.J. Klune: Live and In Person!

Science women are perky bundles of rage.
I love Ali Hazelwood. She’s quickly becoming a person whose books I pick up no matter what just because her name is on the cover. What started as a spite read for me with The Love Hypothesis, is quickly turning into a full-blown love of the author’s writing. I wish I shipped Reylo so I … Continue reading Science women are perky bundles of rage.
Do literary tastes change?
I'm assuming so. After all, there are books I read when I was much younger that don't impress me now. But there are books I read when I was younger that still captivate or, in certain cases, terrify me. Tastes change. Clothing styles, music, movies, food. A person's tastes change as they get older or … Continue reading Do literary tastes change?
Why are people keeping gates anyway?
It’s been a while friends, since we’ve had a Book Twitter controversy. While I was thinking about what to write this week, an American author wrote out a quote-tweeted thread giving her opinion on the differences between science fiction and fantasy. Now as a humble reader of books, my thoughts regarding the difference between science … Continue reading Why are people keeping gates anyway?
Parallel Cases: What do Mycroft Holmes & St. Louis have in common?
Mark Twain and his band of Futurists. Who knew? In my rabbit hole of Holmesian comic books and graphic novels, I finally set upon Mycroft Holmes and the Apocalypse Handbook written by Kareen Abdul-Jabbar and Raymond Obstfeld. The story takes place in Mycroft Holmes’ younger years, still in university and refusing to make his mark … Continue reading Parallel Cases: What do Mycroft Holmes & St. Louis have in common?
The Personalities of Writers: J.D. Robb
Happy April everyone! This is not an April Fools Joke. I never got the hang of April Fools Day. So, let’s dive in! I’ll never post a review of Nora Roberts’ body of work, or new releases, because, let’s face it, there are more professional and much better paid critics who are paid to read and … Continue reading The Personalities of Writers: J.D. Robb
Second hand anxiety
Audiobooks, or programs like Audible are wonderful for readers. It opens worlds for people who can no longer read or have reading disabilities. It allows us to read multiple books at one time. It allows us to read books during times when we normally couldn’t. On the drive to and from work or driving anywhere for that matter. While … Continue reading Second hand anxiety
Why are Men so fun to read?
Last weekend Twitter once again blew up with controversy. This time it was a subject that I’ve struggled with for the last few years so buckle up friends, this is going to get uncomfortable. On Sunday, author Jack Harbon posed a question, what do women gain from exclusively and solely writing about queer men? I’ll … Continue reading Why are Men so fun to read?
Looking into the Future. What’s in Store?
A full year of this review blog is in the bag and I could not be happier or more grateful to everyone who follows me or who has read my blog in this past year. There’s still work to be done, as this is a learning process for me as well, so while I will … Continue reading Looking into the Future. What’s in Store?

We're trying something new friends, let's see how it works. Starting this week, there will be something posted every Friday. Reviews on alternate weeks (give me time to read friends!
