The other day I was writing a review for a book and could comfortably get around 150 words to make a decent review.  I’m used to keeping my reviews under 75 words for newsletter reviews, and under 100 for a web review. I have gotten better with this 250 but some books, well a 250 worded review is more words than the book has. And while that probably is not true with the second book, it was most likely for the first one. Therefore, that […]

My sister’s sister in law gave her this book to read, and then she recommended it to me. They read the hardcover version, but I totally recommend the audiobook version. The narrator is Australian, as is the main character. I think I’m a total sucker for a good accent, especially in a narrator. Anyway, let us start with some trigger warnings. There are animal deaths in this book. Going into a book about wolves, I knew that there would probably be some carnage. I asked […]

Homestretch on Ye Olde Darke Towere Marathone! I’m actually starting to be sad that there are only two left plus the movie. And there had better be whole bunch of those, too, is what I’m saying, do ya. If I’m being honest, I think that Stephen King didn’t start leaning into the conceit of this series until about the time that I went all in, and that’s probably the reason I was finally able to invest fully. The more I think about it, the clearer […]
