City of Bones was released years ago but is being republished in 2023. Since I have loved all of Well’s Murderbot series I was excited to jump into a different type of story produced by her. This is the type of fantasy I’m used to reading where we are light on romance, heavy on world […]
Wayward is the sequel to The Wanderers. They are both long books, covering a pandemic, white nationalism, artificial intelligence and other timely social issues which were not as prevalent at the time the books were written. For me, it was the combination of a good story with many issues to consider from different perspectives. It’s […]
I remember how I really wanted to read this book and started it but had something come up and never got back to it. Somehow I also had the wrong impression of the age of the main character in the brief amount I read which was better once I actually read and knew more. That […]
Wanderers is the kind of dystopian story I love but it came out at the beginning of the COVID pandemic so I wasn’t sure about reading it then. I’m glad I finally read it now and can move forward with the sequel Wayward. The story is set primarily in the United States. The characters are […]
The Maze Cutter, the first book in the new trilogy The Maze Cutter, is set about 73 years in the future from the Maze Runner series and if you are like me you probably read that series at least 5-8 years ago and have forgotten most of the story lines other than apocalyptical world, weird […]
I was excited to be back in Atlanta with the Mercenary Librarians and the Silver Devils. This is a series I’ve loved from the beginning. It is a dystopian world where everything collapses when solar flares change the world. Now, the people have a new normal. “Government” is somewhat established. It is run by the […]
I was thrilled to contine the Mercenary Librarians series. Each book has a new couple for romantic suspense and more of the overall story arc for the series. Basically, the greedy TechnoCorp uses people, including abducting and cloning children, with only the rich few running everything and living comfortably. I would really read these books […]
Blake Crouch writes some interesting thought-provoking and twisting stories with questions about morality, humanity and what lines a man might cross to be with his family. Upgrade, another really solid stand-alone novel from the author hits on some great questions about humanity and the road some take. Just because man has the ability to control […]
This is the second book in the Mercenary Librarians series which is set in a futuristic/post-apocalyptic world. It follows three women who just wanted to help their community. They are the Mercenary Librarians. They provide books (which are hard to come by in this world), repair tech and even help preserve food. In the first […]
The Mercenary Librarians series continues with upping the action and danger a notch. Now TechnoCorps is cloning children, as well as abducting them. None of our family group in Atlanta will stand for this. Each of them went through horrors as a child and are unwilling to have more children affected. Much of the world […]
