THE RUSSIAN CAGE – Charlaine Harris
I jumped into this series three books in, and I think that was a mistake! Sometimes you can pick up a book in the middle of a series and still get everything you need to know about the characters and relationships and the world in which it is set. And sometimes each book relies so… Continue reading

Bruce Coville has a new book?! This is big news! Why haven’t I seen this on CNN or Bloomberg TV (I’m pretty sure I know why it wasn’t on Fox)?

PROJECT HAIL MARY – Andy Weir
According to a 2003 article on the NASA website, “NASA-funded scientists have recently learned that cloud-to-ground lightning frequently strikes the ground in two or more places …” and that the third and fourth strokes of a lightning flash will follow the same path as the second stroke.

An October Daye book? Yes, please. History has it that there was a bargain between the Selkies and the Sea Witch. The Selkies would be allowed to live in the sea for as long as the Sea Witch allows it. At any time she can put an end to the bargain and call in their… Continue reading

THE SENSATION – Amanda Bridgeman
I feel like Steve Martin in The Jerk … I want to hold this up and run around saying, “The new Amanda Bridgeman book is out! The new Amanda Bridgeman book is here!” I have very much been looking forward to the release of this next volume in the Salvi Brentt series. Detective Salvi Brentt… Continue reading
