This is the second book that I’ve read from Chuck Wendig. I really enjoyed the first book, The Book of Accidents. And I saw a lot of talk about this book when it first came out. So, I decided I needed to give it a try. I’m really glad I did, because I had a […]
I loved the continuation with the scientific aspects of learning about the Neighbors and August learning about the plants and animals on Earth. We are seeing things from Renee’s point of view, which is naturally more focused on the scientific wonder of this opportunity. We start to learn more about the political and business thoughts. […]
I have enjoyed the new style this author has written for the past years, probably a decade. They are not romances but Life Fiction. The characters are more realistic and well developed along with all those around them, their families and friends. The settings and emotional situations are also well built for a deep connection. […]
Well this was sort of a surprise and I LOVED it. It really highlighted the difference between science and military / politics of things. This Eclipsed Evolution series is a view into aliens visiting Earth as their own planet is dying. The trilogy is initially being released on audio first. The audio is short and […]
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 […]
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 […]
I decided to review Pretty Little Wife because of the genre and the narrator. I didn’t realize I also have enjoyed the author in the past as well, in a different genre. There are two main points of view here. We get the thoughts of Lila, who is the suspect, and wife of the missing […]
These are favorite narrators in 2020 I’ve included many of their audiobooks even if we didn’t listen to them all in 2020. (On the list in no particular order.) Luke Daniels Unwind Dystology series by Neal Shusterman The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne Krewe of Hunters by Heather Graham The Palladium […]
She Wakes in Water starts off not long after the end of She Dreams of Fire (don’t start here, you must read book one before tackling this book, trust me). Aggy and the gang are still killing off the evil witches of the Umbra coven, but it is taking a toll. How far can you […]
I chose The Haunting of Brynn Wilder for a few reasons. First, because Xe Sands is a favorite narrator. Second, the setting is Minnesota where I lived for many years. Next, because is was near Halloween so something spooky seemed fitting. I sort of expected a “real world” haunting, like someone trying to scare Brynn. […]
