Even though I have now finished She Wolf and Cub, I’m still not sure how I feel about it. It felt like a lot of the book was set in an already established universe. As a reader, I was not given a map to this universe and thus I felt… Read more »
Review: Mo’ Meta Blues by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson & Ben Greenman
DNF@45% I’m not really into music – by that I mean I am not an audiophile. I enjoy music and I have a large number of musician friends – who introduced me to wonderful music and informed my rather eclectic taste. But I don’t read books about musicians or music…. Read more »
Review: Rex Libris, Volume I: I, Librarian (Rex Libris #1-5) by James Turner
When I learned there was a Librarian themed graphic novel, I had to try it. I know I’m not a fan of graphic novels but I felt confident I’d like this one. Well, I didn’t like this one – but not because it’s a graphic novel. I didn’t like it… Read more »
Review: The Collapsing Empire (The Interdependency #1) by John Scalzi
WOW. John Scalzi is quickly becoming one of my favorite Sci-Fi writers. I enjoyed reading The Collapsing Empire so very much, I have no words. I devoured this book in huge chunks and I was distracted at work all day yesterday – I was so anxious to get home and… Read more »
Review: Earthrise (Her Instruments #1) by M.C.A. Hogarth
I’m not really sure how I feel about Earthrise. I went through several stages of emotions while reading and…they just don’t add up. Earthrise is the first book in the Her Instruments series. I initially started reading because I was drawn to the cover. Several friends on GR have been… Read more »
Review: The Meaning of Everything by Simon Winchester
For English is a language that simply cannot be fixed, nor can it ever be absolutely laid down. It changes constantly; it grows with an almost exponential joy. It evolves eternally; its words alter their senses and their meanings subtly, slowly, or speedily according to fashion and need. Dictionaries that… Read more »

Product Review: Jillian Michaels’ BODYSHRED
When I started this review I was out of shape. I was placed on a complete exercise halt due to a bad hamstring sprain for 9+ months. Prior to the [most recent] injury, I would have considered myself an “experienced” exerciser – well, I would have called myself a “heavy… Read more »
Review: A Closed and Common Orbit (Wayfarers #2) by Becky Chambers *spoilers*
I absolutely loved reading A Closed and Common Orbit. I enjoyed reading the sections on Pepper/Jane 23 more than on Sidra/Lovelace but when taken as a whole, I wanted to hug this book! I felt that A Closed and Common Orbit clearly exemplifies the idea of “if you can’t see… Read more »
Review: The Cloud Roads (The Books of the Raksura #1) by Martha Wells
I don’t have a lot of experience with Martha Wells – one short story (of the Raksura) and that’s about it. So, I had no real expectations as to how I would enjoy this book. And I did. By the end of the book, I found The Cloud Roads very,… Read more »
