August flew by, thanks to my first encounter with COVID. But I’m better now and while I didn’t get much reading or reviewing done, what I did read was diverse and interesting. Time to get back to regular review posting! As technology advances there is more and science fiction about scenarios that feel too close for comfort. In this case it’s Annie Bot, a novel ...

July Reading Wrap-Up
Hello, lovely readers! I’m sorry for my absence at the end of July but a whole lot of life—some of it very happy, some of it not so much—got in the way of my reading and reviewing.

Just when you think you’ve read every horror story about the opioid epidemic there’s more. Prescription for Pain is an investigative look into the life of Paul Volkman, a doctor turned pharmacist who at the peak ... Read More...
March Reading Recap
My March reading is a wrap, but I have a question: would you rather have highs and lows in your reading or a steady diet of good? You can probably guess where I’m going with this. I ended the month on a streak of 3.5 star books, most of which I can hardly remember reading. I want need more amazing reading. I guess I’m naïve, but there are certain institutions that ...
