DIVIDED – Elsie Chapman
Divided, by Elsie Chapman, is the second book in a YA series. I have not read book one (Dualed), though a sampler was provided by the publisher, through NetGalley, which did give me a little taste of what the series would be about. What we have is a future/alternate world in which a community is Continue reading

A MAN CALLED OVE – Fredrik Backman
If you’ve done any research on this book…reading reviews on blogs or on Goodreads…you’ll know that there are an awful lot of people really moved by this book. I’m here to add my two cents worth and tell you it’s all true. Ove is the curmudeonliest curmudgeon on the planet. He is the old man Continue reading

COLD IN JULY – Joe R. Lansdale
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE I’ve been familiar with Joe R. Lansdale through his short fiction, which has always impressed me, but for whatever strange reasons of fate, I’d never read any of his novels. When this book came across the ARC pile, I quickly requested it. It does NOT disappoint! The book is being Continue reading

JIM BUTCHER’S DRESDEN FILES: GHOUL GOBLIN – graphic novel
It will surprise some people that I’m very very new to the whole Dresden Files stories. I have not read the entire series, and I have not watched any of the television episodes. What I have read, however, has been truly wonderful and I want to dig in to all the books (but I’m still Continue reading

THE BEATLES ARE HERE! – Penelope Rowlands, editor
For how much longer can we get mileage out of The Beatles? For quite awhile is my guess, based on the number of books that continue to be released about the remarkable, iconic group. And as long as the books are well-written, strongly-themed and have something unique to say, then those books will continue to Continue reading

ICE FORGED – Gail Z. Martin
I was delighted to get this Gail Z. Martin book as I had never read anything by Martin prior to this. This book, Ice Forged, appears to be the first in a new series by Martin. The book starts with a young nobleman, Blaine McFadden, who kills his abusive father. Such an act would normally Continue reading

FABLES, VOLUME 19: SNOW WHITE – graphic novel
Graphic Novel Review Week When the Fables books first started to come out, a friend of mine told me about them, suggested I’d like them, and so I bought the first few issues. My friend was correct…I did like them. I thought (and think) of them as one of the best concepts for a comic Continue reading

CODENAME: ACTION VOLUME 1 – graphic novel
Graphic Novel Review Week Not long ago I reviewed a graphic novel written by Chris Roberson titled Masks, in which some masked crime fighters from the late 1930’s worked together. Now, Roberson has stepped in to the future (from the 1930’s) to the late-1950’s-mid-1960’s era. If you think about the fact that masked crime fighters were the Continue reading

WILL O’ THE WISP – graphic novel
Graphic Novel Review Week In the graphic novel Will o’ the Wisp, young Aurora Grimeon is sent to live with her estranged grandfather after her parents died from mushroom poisoning. The grandfather lives in a creepy old house in the backwater/swamps of Louisiana, where hoodoo is a natural way of life. The superstitious people of the Continue reading

THE JOYNERS IN 3D – graphic novel
I’m a sucker for anything 3D, I admit. While I received an ARC digital edition of this through NetGalley, I had no problem with the 3D effects as I have my own collection of 3D glasses: I think this book is mostly a concept book. Clearly the 3D is a major portion of the concept, Continue reading

AQUAMAN, VOL. 4: DEATH OF A KING – graphic novel
Graphic Novel Review Week Wow. *wipes sweat from brow* That was intense! I couldn’t say when I last read an Aquaman comic or graphic novel (if, in fact, I ever have), but I would say that this was a wonderful start. Under the helm of writer Geoff Johns, we have here a story of high Continue reading
