Why quotes? Check what I had to say the first time I posted quotes. Please feel free to post you favorite, or most recently encountered, quotes. “They were futuring here, and the future was a process, not a destination.” The Caryatids Bruce Sterling “It wasn’t nearly as much fun scoring off someone too Continue reading

MY DOG, MY CAT – Ashlee Fletcher
There is such a sweet simplicity to this book, which is all about the animals that nearly every child is familiar with, that it’s hard to believe that this hasn’t been published a hundred times before. In simple words, and with repetitive phrases (so important in a picture/early reader book) the book tells of some Continue reading

ATTACK THE GEEK – Michael R. Underwood
WaaHoo! Strap yourself in and hold on tight, this is a wild Geek ride! I’m new to the ‘Geekomancy’ world of Ree Reyes, but if this is any indication what the first two books might be like, count me in! Essentially, this is a world in which all the books, comics, movies, television shows, and Continue reading

PEACEMAKER – Marianne de Pierres
If you’re a sci-fi/fantasy enthusiast, how often have you read a book and, whether or not you liked the story-telling, felt like it was really nothing but a rehash of an already over-used scenario? Move over stale f/sf themes; enter: Peacemaker, a wholly original and thrilling fantasy adventure. Set in the future, when urban sprawl Continue reading

GREEN ARROW, VOL. 4: THE KILL MACHINE – graphic novel
In the DC Comics world, I’ve always been a fan of the ‘Greens’ — Green Lantern and Green Arrow. This may have come from reading those great, topical, relevant Green Lantern/Green Arrow comics in the 70’s with the fantastic Neal Adams art. But whatever the reason, I’ve periodically picked up an issue here and there Continue reading

quotes – 1
For about as long as I have been reading, I have collected quotes. What makes a good quote? I think it’s a snippet of writing that speaks volumes. It is the prose version of a poem – something that, in a condensed manner, waxes philosophic on a subject. Or it might be a turn of Continue reading

INQUEST – DelSheree Gladden
There’s no dearth of young adult science fiction/fantasy books today, but finding one that is appealing, exciting, and well-written, can be difficult. Hopefully, if that’s what you’re looking for, you’re reading blogs like this to help you find the gems among the bookshelf mines. This is such a gem. Author DelSheree Gladden has done a Continue reading

BUZZ – Anders de la Motte
Not too long ago I reviewed the first book, Game, in this Game Trilogy series. It was a wild ride. In my review, I asked for a better connection to the story with Rebecca Normén. We do get a better story with Rebecca, and her involvement with those in the ‘Game’ is stronger, but the Continue reading

THE KISSING HAND – Audrey Penn
If you have pre-schoolers or very young elementary school children, you need to have this book. There are a lot of picture books published every year, but to hit on one that will stand the test of time and be sold generation after generation, is a rare book, and one every writer is hoping for. Continue reading

HUSH – Stacey R. Campbell
When I saw the tag lines on Netgalley and Goodreads for this book, and the high ratings on Goodreads, I thought, “Great…a YA mystery and adventure. I like all three genres!” But what this is, is pre-pubescent porn with a rubber-stamped plot and stereotyped characters. The book starts out with a bang and I was Continue reading

THE BEST OF PANTHA: THE WARREN STORIES – graphic novel
Ah, sweet nostalgia. Reading this took me back to those geeky middle-school days, when I scoured the rack of over-sized comic books with their black and white artwork that somehow felt a little racy because it was black and white (and certainly the subject matter was intended to be sexy). I read (or looked through) Continue reading
