OLAV AUDUNSSØN: III. CROSSROADS – Sigrid Undset

I have come to look forward to these Olav Audunssøn books! It is medieval Norway – the 1300’s – a time of great upheaval for the country from internal politics to neighboring conflicts with Sweden and Denmark. And what is happening on a country-sized scaled is reflected in the life of Olav Audunssøn, a moderately wealthy land Continue reading

BEYOND THE WALL – James Lowder, editor

One of the signs of a pop culture success is the ‘jumping on the band-wagon’ to capitalize on that success. I don’t mean this to be as negative as it sounds. Take, for instance, a book of essays like this – Beyond the Wall – which has a number of people examining different aspects of the popular Continue reading

BE THE SERPENT – Seanan McGuire

Book sixteen in the October Daye series – a solid urban fantasy series by one of the top writers in the genre! October Daye is now married (to the King of Cats!) and life is supposed to become much more domestic – which might terrify October somewhat since she’s never been prepared for this kind Continue reading

THE FERRYMAN – Justin Cronin

If you were to combine a sci-fi read like Logan’s Run with a concept like Russian nesting dolls, and you might get a book like Justin Cronin’s The Ferryman. Prospera is a remote paradise, created by a mystery person known only as The Designer. In Prospera, citizens live long, fulfilling lives, away from the horrors of Continue reading

OUR NATIONAL FORESTS – Greg M. Peters

I am, admittedly, a sucker for just about anything related to our National Parks and National Forests system – especially books – so this immediately caught my attention. Author Greg M. Peters offers some insight to various aspects of our (U.S.) National Forests system. Peters has had a long career with the Forests – though Continue reading

SAM GUNN JR. – Ben Bova

I’m pretty sure I’ve never read any Ben Bova before this, unless I’ve read a short story in an anthology sometime back in the 1970’s or so. I’m not exactly sure why this is other than the simple fact that there’s too many books and too little time and choices of what to read have Continue reading

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE: JOURNEY UNDER THE SEA – Andrew E.C. Gaska; E.L. Thomas

I am a big fan of the Choose Your Own Adventure concept and series of books. This is only slightly unusual because when the series brand was publishing, in the 1980’s and early 1990’s, I was not doing very much reading. But the idea of a reader getting to dictate the path of a journey Continue reading
