Peter and Bea are a loving couple, spending every moment and thought together as they minister to the congregation that Peter is pastor of. Peter’s past is spotty at best, and he credits Bea for pulling him out of his spiralling issues with addiction and petty theft, replacing it with an unshakeable love for Jesus. But this bond is about to wrenched apart for the first time as Peter prepares for a long voyage to minister to a new audience a world away. His new […]
An Enthralling Superhero Tale
I am a huge fan of Nick Harkaway – all of his novels have a flow and a magic to them that’s difficult to quantify, but once you start you can’t put it down. One is never quite sure where it’s all going, but it’s such a good read, you figure it will all sort itself out at the end. Prior to starting Tigerman I was reading another book – which I will review in another post – but suffice it to say that […]
Amped met with too many ohms
I enjoyed Amped. I previously read Robopocalypse and I liked thought I’d give it a shot as a quick break between my non-fiction audiobooks. Amped gave me exactly that. In fact I was straight HOOKED after the first few chapters but it faded as I continued. Amped starts with a schoolteacher named Owen Gray who has a device implanted in his brain. Owen was in an accident as a child and developed epilepsy as a result. His implant prevents seizures and allows him to function […]

Nerds, gosh! So nerdy, amirite?
This book sounded so promising when I found it at the used bookstore. A murder mystery that takes place at a science fiction convention! How fun! However…is there a word for what happens when a roast crosses a line? Oh yeah: mean. Appin Dungannon is the author of a hugely popular fantasy series about Tratyn Runewind. He’s also obnoxious, demanding, and rude to his fans. When he’s murdered while attending Rubicon as guest of honor, there are lots of suspects. James Owens Mega (pseudonym Jay […]
I would totally be Erudite, they’re the ones with all the books.
Beatrice Prior is about to turn sixteen. This is the day when she has to choose which of the five factions in society she wants to belong to for the rest of her life. Beatrice and her brother have been raised in Abnegation, the self sacrificing and selfless people in society. The other four factions are Erudite (the intellectual, who all seem kind of snobby), Amity (the peaceful and apparently the ones who grow all the food), Candor (the honest, they cannot actually lie) and […]
