FANGS FOR THE MEMORIES – Molly Harper

I requested this book because it looked like it might be a quick, entertaining read. I was right. This book is a prequel to a series that is apparently moderately popular (The Half-Moon Hollow series), though I have to admit that I’ve never read any other books in the series. I haven’t even read anything Continue reading

BODIES – graphic novel

I really do enjoy going in to a book blind – not knowing anything about what I will find on the inside. Perhaps it’s why I enjoy reviewing books as much as I do. I get the opportunity to ‘discover’ those gems that people aren’t talking about yet. But I also have to wade through Continue reading

PIRATES OF THE TIMESTREAM – Steve White

I have not previously read anything by Steve White, which means I have not read the two previous books in this series. I don’t feel that I needed anything else to set this book up, as White does a fine job of letting the reader know what we need to know through the course of Continue reading

WORLDS – Joe Haldeman

THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE There are a few authors that I will consistently read because they are reliable and dependable. Joe Haldeman has always been one of those authors, for me. Yet for all the works of his that I’ve read, I’ve somehow missed this book (and this trilogy). This is, in my opinion, Continue reading

WEARING THE CAPE – Marion C. Harmon

In a world where superheroes have agents and become celebrities just for having powers, it’s not unusual for a child to grow up wanting to be a superhero. That’s how Hope grew up, and when she was entering her freshman year in college her powers appeared. Now she’s invited to join The Sentinels – a Continue reading

PAWN SHOP – graphic novel

A word that I probably haven’t used yet in any of my descriptions of a book, but one I will use here: This is a quaint little story. Once I opened this book, I didn’t expect to enjoy it very much. I think that the artwork is … lacking. It is flat, more sketch-like than Continue reading

READY PLAYER ONE – Ernest Cline

WHO HOO! Strap yourself in, insert quarter, and enjoy the ride! Somehow, while I was constantly hearing nothing but great things about this book, I managed to stay oblivious to the story-line. So I was completely blind-sided to the fact that this book was, essentially, the ultimate gamer’s quest. In a nutshell: An on-line programming Continue reading

THE BEER WENCH’S GUIDE TO BEER – Ashley V. Routson

Well OF COURSE I’m going to want to look at this book! “Beer wench.” “Beer.” What’s not appealing about this? I enjoy a good beer, but I am not by any means a beer snob. However, I know people who are. In fact, I will sometimes have a beer with beer snobs. So my reading Continue reading
