Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet by Darynda Jones Book Review
Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet is the fourth book in the Charley Davidson series, an urban paranormal fantasy featuring a hilariously cheeky private investigator who also happens to be the Grim Reaper. Always fast paced, these books have Charley rushing against the clock to untangle several problems and mysteries – some in the human realm,…

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess Book Review
A Clockwork Orange was first published in 1962 by Anthony Burgess in England and, despite the “ultraviolence”, it became a worldwide sensation. It could have been forgotten while fading away into obscurity with new generations of books to take its place in shock value, but that seems impossible for the time being because of Stanley…

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman Book Review
What better way to end a year than to be curled up in bed with Neil Gaiman? (Hey, a girl can dream.) He might not have been there in body, but I was all tangled up in his mind. Good enough for me. This time, I snuggled up with The Ocean at the End of…

A Resolution, A Vow, and Mini Reviews
I’m back. It’s been a while. And I’ve so missed my book-loving community. My hiatus was caused by a very positive, absolutely wonderful career turn. I build websites for businesses, mostly in the scientific community, but it’s always a struggle to find new clients. Until the beginning of this year. I was accepted into Upwork,…

Bird Box by Josh Malerman Book Review
Bird Box is a post-apocalyptic horror novel that’ll keep you up all night after you’ve finished the book – in terror. In this book there are things out there that you cannot see, that you MUST not see. If you venture outside without a blindfold, you will see “it” and “it” will see you, and…

Although more will be coming to this series soon, this third book puts a nice bow on the trilogy and give readers what they crave: no cliffhangers and satisfying resolutions. It nearly…

Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan Book Review
For the most part, Manhattan Beach focuses on New York City life during World War II: separated families, economic strain, and a new status for women as the hardworking breadwinner. But as the story stretches out from the central view of a struggling family, two other stories emerge that are so massive, their sheer gravity…

Almost Everybody Farts by Marty Kelley Book Review
So, this book exists: Almost Everybody Farts by author and illustrator Marty Kelley. And it was a complete impulse buy randomly found on my favorite girl-time-shopping-spree website known as Zulily. I never buy anything but clothes here but when I saw a unicorn that appeared to be emitting a rainbow arc from its nether region,…

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas Book Review
A Court of Mist and Fury is the second book in the mega popular A Court of Thorns and Roses series and, amazingly, it doesn’t fall into the pit of middle-book syndrome. The story continues with Feyre, a newly made immortal in the fae lands. An immortal body with a human heart. In the first…
