When he learns that a friend of his is actually an alien with advanced knowledge of Earth’s impending destruction, […]
Lynn’s Review: I’ve been in a book funk lately. Nothing I’ve read has been horrible; nothing has been shout from the rooftops exciting. I was musing this over recently: is there something off with me? But then I figured it out. It’s not me. It’s the books. I read two books in the past 5 […]
Lynn’s Review: I really wanted the privilege of sitting and reading this book from cover to cover. I find that Ms. Taylor’s work really does warrant the time spent with every word on the page. But needless to say, life does not always cooperate. So instead, we will have an audio review. I’m not sure […]
Lynn’s Review: Have you actually heard anything about Illuminae before reading this review? I had heard good things. But didn’t read any reviews to avoid any kind of spoilers! I’m going to try to post a non-spoiler review. Try being the opportune word here. Let’s start with the format: I was having issues deciding which […]
Lynn’s Review: Are you participating in our Shelf Love challenge this year? Did you read the rules. Check out this fine print: You may use your library to obtain different formats of books you already own and count those towards your goal Because I never read the rules. So now that I know, I’m totally […]
Lynn’s Review: A Court of Mist and Fury is a complete 180 turn. In as much I loved Court of Thorns and Roses, I loved this even more. And that may seem unusual for a second book in a series. But it’s so very true. More feels. More tension. More everything I want in a book. […]
Lynn’s Review: Sandstorm is the confluence on all the genres I look for in a book – Action, Adventure, Mystery, History, with a smattering of physics. And not much of a love story. Which is gratefully appreciated. I have seen a lot of press lately for the Sigma Force books, with the release of #12, […]
Lynn’s Review: A book review in chart form: I guess a regular review, too. There were some aspects about Starflight that I really did enjoy. It’s a good starter sci fi book. There aren’t a bunch of weird character or place names to try and remember. It’s not heavy on the science. The only […]
Lynn’s Review: Lady Midnight is another story in the continuing saga of the Shadowhunters by Cassandra Clare. This time out, we learn about Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn. Parabatai. Best friends. And maybe a little bit more. I have mixed feelings about Lady Midnight. Parts I did thoroughly enjoy. And parts that I’m still confused […]
Julie’s Review: Second novels in a series are usually problematic. Not Mirror Mage! I already shared how much I enjoyed Ancient Magic, and now I’ve had the chance to devour the next book too! What a great reading month it has been! The story line gets more complex; the situation far more dangerous. Cass is […]
