The road to ruin is paved with certainty. The end of the world is only ever hastened by those who think they will be able to protect their own from the coming storm. From holiday horror to ending the year with dystopian apocalyptic science fiction? Why not! I decided to lean into everything that gives me anxiety. Namely, AI, social media, the obscene wealth hoarded and ... Read More...
My 8 Favorite Books of 2023
Finally! Let’s talk reading again, specifically my favorite books of 2023 so we can move onto what lies ahead in 2024. It was an interesting year in that I don’t remember another time when I had this many 5-star nonfiction books.

Bill Hodges is a highly decorated, newly retired police detective struggling with the depression of living alone without the motivation of his job.

Shark Heart: A Novel
Today’s review needs a bit of a preface: My husband doesn’t read (I know, I know, I love him anyway). He teases me about my obsession with books by noting there are only so many stories and I’ve read them all so how can I keep reading? Theoretically, this is true.
