Review: Keeper of Enchanted Rooms

A while back, I wrote a break-up letter with this author and told her we were done. I meant it, too. I had given her so many chances with the Paper Magician and all that series, and they were competent enough, just lacking in the emotional depth and connection I…

Review: Could Have Been Romantic

What do you do when the one you’re in love with is incapable of loving you back. Not because you’re unlovable or they’re unloving, but because they’re just not wired that way? That’s the challenge Drew faces as he fills notebooks with all of the reasons he loves his favorite…

Review: The Secret Lake

Do you ever get so stressed that all you want is a little kid lit? No, just me? I asked for book recs for quick and fun reads for children and this one came out on top. It’s a quick and thoughtful book about time travel and friendship. It reminded…

Review: Could Have Been Us

I just found out today that Camilla Evergreen is just the side gig for Anne Stryker. Heck of a side gig, because these little romance books she’s putting out on the side are worlds better than most romances I’ve read, and I’ve read a lot. A lot. Just in the…

Review: Sleep State Interrupt

by T.C. Weber This book felt like a mix of the old Mission: Impossible TV show and Ready Player One. It’s an odd mix and sometimes it works really well and other times it hits a speed bump. However, this author can write. His use of language and pacing are…

Review: The Dog Who Danced

by Susan Wilson The Dog Who Danced Let me preface this by saying that I’m a fanatic about dogs in general, and blue merle Shelties in particular, so if you’re going to write about this breed, I’m going to notice when you’re full of it. Let’s start with the fact…

Review: Dreadnought

by April Daniels Dreadnought Danny Tozer is transgender. That’s cool, but I wouldn’t have read this book if that had been the focus. I was drawn in by the superhero plot and I appreciated that the gender issues were only part of the character development. As I told a coworker,…

Review: The Blue Sword

 by Robin McKinley The Blue Sword This was the second Robin McKinley book I read, including Beauty, and I had forgotten how good it was. It is set on a earth-like world with many parallels but with a bit of magic. Harry is from Homeland, a thinly-disguised Great Britain, and…
