Lynn’s Review: If you are looking for a traditional “review” of Sleeping Giants, go here. Instead, I’m going to gush about loving this book. And love it I did. Heck, I even tweeted about it! Here are some of the reasons I loved Sleeping Giants: The premise is brilliant. Sleeping Giants starts with the discovery […]
Lynn’s Review: Saturn Run is serious Sci Fi, emphasis on the Sci. And exactly what I needed. A complete break from all of the sub-par fantasy that I’ve been reading lately. The science was definitely beyond me. I took it on faith that the authors knew what they were writing when it came to those […]
Julie and I have decided that since loads of other bloggers have posted reviews of Winter, we’d take a different approach. We totally stole Bookworm Brandee’s Blogger Chick Chat idea, and went with a chat instead. Spoilers, obvs. And following our usual pattern, Julie’s chatting is in purple. My chatting is in blue. Excuse the […]
Lynn’s Review: I once watched an interview with an actor discussing character shipping. The basic gist of the interview was this: We (readers, or in this case, watchers of TV shows) don’t want couples to actually get together. What we want is the prospect of a couple getting together.

Julie’s Review: This is kind of a “smart” book, with all the scientific language and descriptions of the chemicals in the food, as well as body processes. The prologue is narrated in first-person, which is really effective as the speaker gets murdered in an attack and talks about the body shutting down. The plot […]
Description: Four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of Earth in ruin. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal fifth wave, Cassie teams up with a young man who may become her final hope […]
Julie’s Review: What a ride. For those of you not familiar with this series, it is absolutely frightening because of how realistic it feels while reading it. This type of thing feels like it really could happen and that makes it so dark and so eye opening. It really makes you think about the horrible […]
Lynn’s Review: Is it odd that I’ve recently read an alternate history book and a book about a girl pretending to be a boy? And Leviathan had both. Let’s start with the format review: Julie listened to the audio. But I read a hardcover copy of the book. With all the amazing drawings […]
Lynn’s Review: Prisoner is the second book in The Traveler series by Dennis W. Green. (You can read my review of Traveler here.) Trav Becker is back. Along with all of the other Travs. And Sams. A year has past since the first book in the series. A year in which Trav has moved […]
Lynn’s Review: If you’ve ever read a contemporary science fiction book and wondered why there is no mention of any other contemporary science fiction in the book, then Armada is the book for you. In Armada, Ernest Cline posits that for forty years, society has been enjoying science fiction in movies, tv, and books […]
