Mini Review Four Audiobooks Audiobooks are a regular part of my reading life. During my commute and workday, I listen to books or podcasts. Lately, I've had a run of really, really good audiobooks.

Review: The Hound of Justice
Novels offer us options. One could view novels as paths not taken, and dystopian, political, and near-future fiction can be viewed as the path not yet taken. In recent years, the United States has become a divided nation in ways not thought possible just a few decades ago. Hate crimes are on the rise, as … Continue reading Review: The Hound of Justice
2019 TBR Pile June Update

I really enjoyed the Born to the Blade series, and when given the chance to read an upcoming serial partially written by my friend and editor, Dan Koboldt, I was ecstatic. I'm a fan of Dan's Gateway to Alissia series. Now, Dan partnered with Sylvia Spruck Wrigley and Mindy … Continue reading The Triangle from Serial Box
Review: Seven Blades in Black
I have a confession to make. I'm not a huge fan of first person point of view (POV) novels. Why? I don't really know, but third person perspective gets more of my attention. It could be programming from TV or the movies, but third person POV seems more cinematic and more honest. Inherently, first person … Continue reading Review: Seven Blades in Black
