We live so much of our lives without telling anyone. Apparently, this is going to be an emotion drenched week of reviews. When A Quiet Life opens, a Pennsylvania suburb is locked in the throes of winter, while three of its residents are just as frozen in their grief. Chuck is a man in his early 70s whose beloved wife died suddenly from cancer, Ella’s young daughter is missing, ... Read More...
Holly by Stephen King
I know many people have moved towards cozy holiday reading in the last month, but my reading has remained varied and a little bit dark. So, I have a compromise today: a book with a Christmas-y title, but written by the master of suspense and horror.

This could be due, in part, to the fact that I overcommitted on books to read for March. Where I might normally push through on a book (and sometimes be rewarded with a turnaround) I had to jettison anything that wasn’t ... Read More...
2022 Wrap-Up
I started 2023 strong with The Light Pirate, a book I found riveting, but before I go full bore into the year, I need to wrap up 2022 as I read a lot more books (180 to be exact) and never reviewed some of them. I’m also going to do something I’ve never done before: recommend a book without a real review, just a sentence or two. Basically, you take my word for it that this is a ... Read More...
