SUMMER ON THE MOON – Adrian Fogelin
I’ll be right up front and admit that I was seriously disappointed that this wasn’t a sci-fi/fantasy YA books. Summer on the Moon, and there’s a huge moon right there on the cover. I thought we were going to get a youngster’s story being bored and alone on the moon. I was so sure of it, Continue reading

VIROLOGY – Ren Warom
I had no idea that this was the second book in a series until I went to grab the image from Goodreads to add to the blog. Now I understand! I understand why I didn’t enjoy this book. I was missing some vital parts of the story! I also hadn’t realized, when I requested a Continue reading

ALL THE CROOKED SAINTS – Maggie Stiefvater
The reading (and reviewing) of a book is so often a result of the reader’s environment. I’ve discussed this with a friend of mine – how so many different factors might influence how much I enjoy (or don’t enjoy) a particular book. I mention this because the first time I tried to read this book Continue reading

GENTLE WRITING ADVICE – Chuck Wendig
If you walk into a bookstore you can hardly turn around without seeing a “How to Write” type of book. For a time, I enjoyed reading a lot of them and noting what they had in common (the advice that was always there) and what was unique to that particular author. But that was decades Continue reading

THE COMPLETE WEB OF HORROR – Dana Marie Andra, editor
1969 was just a hair early for me to be reading comic books – especially those that were of a darker nature, like Creepy, Eerie, and Web of Horror. Even when I was reading comics in the 70’s, I didn’t read anything darker than Savage Sword of Conan. Which is really too bad. My interest in comics was primarily Continue reading

SECRET SEX – Russell Smith, editor
From Canada comes this anthology of anonymous sex fiction. The premise is that because we (the general reading public) still have hang-ups about sex, writers tend to write gently around the theme of sex, but if given the opportunity to write about sex and remain anonymous, how much more open, explicit, and erotic would the Continue reading

ACT NATURALLY – Steve Matteo
There was a part of me that reacted with some joy – “Another Beatles book!” – and a part of me that thought – “Another Beatles book? What new can be said?” As it turns out, a fair amount new can be said. This book takes a deep look at The Beatles’ five feature films Continue reading

Art is so often a product of the artist’s surroundings. Throughout history, still lifes and the natural world are probably the most common subjects for artists.
