Encore Review – cool nerdy science book!

This review appeared earlier. Themes: science vs. religion, triumph of the underdog, the self educated working scientist vs. the elite theorist I’ve been a fan of Winchester’s since I read The Professor and the Madman several years ago. Sure, he can go on a bit, like in Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded, where

Book Review: Hunger by Roxane Gay (5/5)

Nonfiction, 2017 I don’t have the words to describe this book. Raw. Emotional. Driven. Powerful. Any woman who has ever suffered needs to read this books, whether that suffering came about as something major or minor. As Gay writes, “I am sharing my truth and mine alone.” At first glance, I thought this memoir to

Muirwood – a Review

The Wretched of Muirwood by Jeff Wheeler* I have read Wheelers other series and enjoyed it, but I didn’t know much about these. When I saw the set at the thrift store I decided to snag all three. Later I read the rather tepid reviews. Readers described them as a rather predictable story of a Pig-Girl

Cat Ellington’s review of When the Light Goes Out

When the Light Goes Out by Shawn Bartek My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Opening Statement. When the Light Goes Out is a YA fiction thriller. And I don’t normally accept YA novels for reviewing purposes, but under the impression, per this written effort’s publisher, that the narrative was in fact a suspense thriller

Stillwaters by Yvonne Anderson

A girl survives childhood abuse, joins the military, and finds love. This is a hard-to-categorise science fiction. Written as a biography in first person, it follows one girl’s life as she recovers from a miserable childhood and finds a place in the world. Which isn’t Earth, though some aspects seem rather familiar. She joins the

Review: Good Old Soul by Aja

Amina and Gabriel are like the really cute couple you see out and about on a Saturday. He’s real mellow and laid back and she’s vibrant and outgoing but together they are dynamic. That’s how I would explain these two. It’s something about how these two characters blend so well together. Amina really does have

Review: Snow City

I really want to like Snow City by G.A. Kathryns, but had a few problems with it that kept me from fully engaging. There are bright spots, but also some murk that overshadowed them. I apologize if this review sounds overly harsh, it’s not intended as a hit piece, but shed light on some of
