If you’re a regular reader of this blog then you already know where I stand so I won’t belabor the point. Suffice it to say, I’m not sure […]

As we race towards the end of 2023 I’ve realized I need to take a break and reset so I won’t be posting again until next year. This year has been more challenging than expected with my health so I need to adjust my routine and schedule, meaning there are likely […]

I knew, even as I was making my disdain for Amazon clear in my review (it’s a horrible company and Bezos a walking Napoleon complex in an interminable midlife crisis), that I was on […]

What is a treasure for some might be trash for others. This meant I was conflicted when deciding to read The Curse of the Marquis de Sade. I have no interest in erotic fiction nor did I particularly care about […]

I’m starting 2022 off a bit differently—no book review yet (but plenty to come!). I’ve been remiss about keeping everyone up-to-date about what’s happening so decided the new year was the best time for a quick, but important update. And it’s not about the fact […]

Just an update and some positive, fun news. No, it’s not about my hair which is a hot mess, but I’m owning growing in the gray and, more importantly, I’m happy and healthy. You may have noticed, from time to time I mention and post links to a podcast […]

The good news is that while summer used to be largely ignored by publishers, there are more new release options than ever. Plenty of these are […]

How is everyone holding up after the holidays? Once again, I had a quiet time of it which was welcome considering what lies ahead in 2019. Nothing bad, just change. What hasn’t changed is that I’m ready to get back to review reading. I enjoyed my time off […]

Am I the only person who is a bit freaked out that January is more than halfway over? I’m still trying to figure out my goals for the year!
