There's lots of fun, quirky, and geeky stuff out there. I write about it.
These days, I’m trying to read more. Unplug myself from the electronics, and just take some time before I go to sleep to read for at least 30 minutes…except it is almost never only 30 minutes. I love getting lost in a good book. My favorites are generally fantasy or science fiction novels, but I’m […]
Read More A Coyote, A Werewolf & A Faerie Walk Into a Bar…Have you ever been innocently wandering down the aisle at a bookstore and have a cover reach out and smack you? I mean figuratively not literally. (Although if this has happened to you literally, I think that’s a story I need to know!) It happened to me. Big, bold, neon orange and yellow with a […]
Read More I Should Have Known A “Bad Monkey” Would Be FunnyThe Fault in Our Stars may have been the first book I’ve read by the insanely popular young adult author, John Green, but it was so good, it ensured it wouldn’t be the last. Looking for Alaska made the journey to Boston with me, and I, for some reason, didn’t think that reading it on […]
Read More Looking for AlaskaRecently, I read another J.D. Robb novel, Concealed in Death, and unlike the last one, this one rejuvenated my enthusiasm for the series until I really started thinking about it. Yes, I had no idea who’d “done” it. My suspicions were confirmed, but I didn’t know how they’d pulled the whole thing off until it was […]
Read More Concealed in DeathThankless in Death, the most recent installment of J.D. Robb’s “In Death” series (or at least the newest one I’ve read) sees one of my favorite characters, Eve Dallas, chasing a killer (as a homicide detective, this is something she does quite often). Thankless in Death is the 37th book in this series, and Dallas […]
Read More I Don’t Want To Sound Thankless: A Book ReviewAllegiant by Veronica Roth Apparently, my rush to finish Gone Girl has led to a reading frenzy to finish other books that I’d abandoned. Tonight, I finally finished Allegiant by Veronica Roth. Just as with Divergent and Insurgent, once I got going, I didn’t want to put the book down. This is how I found […]
Read More The Trilogy Ends: Allegiant Book ReviewGone Girl By Gillian Flynn Last night (or early this morning, if you want to be technical), I finally finished Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Flynn weaves a well-crafted, engaging, and stupefying tale of two people who are…Messed. Up. The recommendation to read this book came down the line through a couple of people, but what […]
Read More The Book That Continued to Eat My Brain After I Finished ItThe Dark Witch by Nora Roberts When I’m out and about, I always end up looking at books. If there is a book within 100 yard radius, I’m drawn to it. They’re treats to myself when I’ve been particularly good…or particularly bad…or just particular. (Fine, I’m just looking for an excuse to buy a book.) […]
Read More Wait, Haven’t I Read this Before?I know, it has been forever since I got a book review up here for you. You’ll be shocked to hear that I keep getting distracted. I’m in the middle of at least five books. (There’s a list at the bottom of the post, just in case you’re curious.) The Andreas family is much the […]
Read More Yes, I Do Still Read: The Weird SistersUrban Shaman by C.E. Murphy This is a book that I’ve had my eye on for quite a while. It kept popping up on recommendation lists and in conversations about genres I enjoyed, but I never picked it up for one reason or another. It was that fateful trip to Dallas to Half Priced Books that […]
