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. I’m not even sure I’ve ever read so much great nonfiction in one year (and I’m too lazy to go back and check)! Somehow, 2023 came ... Read More...
Muse of Nightmares
I don’t often get to write about books in a series one right after the other because there’s usually wait time until the next one comes out, but not today. I’m thrilled to be back with Muse of Nightmares, the final book in Laini Taylor’s duology about a fantasy world of gods and humans. I’m going to keep it brief because I want anyone who tries these two books to be as ... Read More...

Instead I was ... Read More...
October Reading
October, what a month. So much chaos in the world and the U.S. and none of it is positive. For your sakes, I’ll stick with books here. Suffice it to say, all the madness in the world in the last two weeks of the month left me with the attention span of a gnat so I have fewer low rated books and more I didn’t finish. But even with that, there were some real standouts this ... Read More...
In the Lives of Puppets
They gave us life, and eventually, the power of decision-making. We were rational creations, not guided by emotion. Our jobs were simple: to do what we were told when we were told to do it. But with their teachings came a price they did not expect: we began to ask why? A father, son, and their two eccentric robots are the tight knit cast of T.J. Klune’s new novel, In the Lives ...
