She is in a small village with kind people who… Continue reading

THOR: DUELING WITH GIANTS – Keith R.A. DeCandido
I think that this book is aimed at teen readers … but I’m not quite sure. There’s a fair amount of the book that follows youthful Thor, Loki, and Sif. But it’s also dense with prose story-telling. It’s a pretty simple plot: Thor is in a battle with some trolls trying to invade Asgard when his… Continue reading

According to the Goodreads page for this book, this is the second book in a series, but the good news is that as far as this reader is concerned, there is nothing ‘missing’ or nothing to suggest that one really needs to read another book prior to reading this. The author, Fiona Wood, is Australian.… Continue reading

I recently went to review my backlog of ARC titles – it may seem ambitious (especially when you realize I have over 400 books in my queue), but I really want to try to read and review every review copy I’ve ever gotten. So I was looking through my list and came across The 100… Continue reading

PROJECT MERCURY – Eugen Reichl
Eugen Reichl’s book Project Mercury is a thorough, very detailed look at the early stages of America’s space race. The amount of information here is absolutely incredible. Reichl reports on each rocket and in addition to his narrative describing the purpose, concerns and success or failure for each mission, he also includes a technical summary… Continue reading

DOUBLE DOWN – Gwenda Bond
Gwenda Bond is the author of a Lois Lane series of books of which, Double Down is book #2. I was not aware that this was a series when I requested the review copy, but I don’t think it’s necessarily vital to have read the first book before reading this. Lois Lane is already a… Continue reading
