So December was Holiday Time! Which meant lots of gifts and lots of eBook sales (the only way I buy eBooks). Leading into December I had put myself on an ebook buying ban because they’re truly my kryptonite. Once I lifted that I went a little mad. However past that my physical book acquisition...

Retro SF Thoughts : City by Clifford D. Simak
Retro Science Fiction and Fantasy has been a genre I’ve avoided since my teens. I read buckets of it as a young kid, it was all that was available to me in the library and so naturally I ate it like candy at the time. As I got older I got into the groove of... Continue Reading →

Romance Roundup
So I’ve definitely need the happy endings you will always find in a romance novel (and yes, I’m a member of that camp, it’s not romance if it’s not a happy ending). So I’ve got a few that I’ve read that I thought I’d highlight and talk about. As far as series... Continue Reading →

Double Mystery Time! Unintentional Themes of Children abound!
It’s mystery time! I’ve been doing pretty good on my whole ‘read more mysteries’ thing that I started last year. I will admit I’m keeping pretty much in the same lane with slightly cozy, well known series. I am really enjoying this though so I feel no shame. I also try to keep them as... Continue Reading →
Thoughts on Old Things! A Double Book Wrap-Up
My reading is slow, so slow this spanking new 2018 so the new format I'm going to shoot for here is similar books talked about together in bunches of twos and threes. There will not be videos for the foreseeable future, but I have hopefully returned to this for the time being! Onward! Let's look... Continue Reading →
