Brandon Sanderson released all 4 of his much talked about secret projects this year. Naturally I read all of them. I should say up front that I didn't participate in the record breaking kick starter but bought them on my Kindle. I mean you only had to wait ten days after the release and for... Continue Reading →
The Woman in Me
I would not have ever called myself a fan of Britney Spears so I picked this up a bit on a whim and I'm happy to report... I liked The Woman in Me and if you are at all interested in the book you should totally read it. As this years celebrity memoirs go- it... Continue Reading →
Anatomy- Yes/ Immortality- Pass
I loved Anatomy. Read it on a whim after and gave it five- stars. Great read! So I thought let's do something unlike me and immediately pick up the sequel right away... Turns out I should have stopped while I was ahead. Anatomy is set in 1815 (or 1817? Either way you get the idea.)... Continue Reading →
The Deep Sky
Stick a mystery/thriller on a space ship and I'm probably going to love it. The Deep Sky is actually more impressive proof of that because in the beginning I didn't think I'd like it at all. Mostly because it's people are practicing what I think are just two terrible ideas during this mission. The Phoenix... Continue Reading →
The Wager: Honestly I’d Mutiny Too!
Forget all the Hollywood summer blockbusters because The Wager is the most exciting, intense story of the summer! Until Barbie I presume 😉 And I have to admit while it sounded interesting I didn't expect a true history to grip me so hard right now. But I could not put it down. And honestly I'd...

Ruination is another League of Legends Win for Me
Ruination is another League of Legends win for me. So if you count Arcane*, two out of two, maybe not much but I take what I get this days! I almost want to play the game. But then again maybe the fun is not knowing anything about it. Actually I might say that's definite in... Continue Reading →
Nimona
Nimona should be a lesson for Hollywood these days. A fun, entertaining well done adaptation of a popular graphic novel that captures the heart of its story. It's also a story with deep meaning and diversity that almost didn't get made. The fact that it did is one of the reasons Netflix, for all it's... Continue Reading →
Perilous Times Has Everything
Perilous Times has everything. Dragons, witches, Knights, climate change, corruption, people rising from the dead, lots of peril, jokes, etc. It's a good time Knights of the Roundtable style adventure with a powerful message. Basically we've wrecked everything and the veil between worlds is breaking so everyone decides- hey, let's callback that prophecy and bring... Continue Reading →
Villains are Destined to Die Volume 1
I was a little nervous picking up this Villains are Destined to Die Volume 1. The premise pulled me in and worried me at the same time... if that makes a lick of sense. Luckily it was a fun surprise and I think the author did a good job with the things I was most... Continue Reading →
Great Summer Recommendations: Beaches, Music, Frolicking, Sharks & Drama Pirates
Full disclosure: Summer is my least favorite of seasons. It's usually just the months I endure to get back to Fall. But I do have some great summer recommendations for books, films and tv. That I think very much fit the summer vibe we all like: beaches, fun, frolicking, sharks and hot drama pirates. All... Continue Reading →
