Kodi: A Place to Call Home by Jared Cullum
I thought I wasn't going to like Kodi: A Place to Call Home by Jared Cullum at first. When I started reading I felt off. Like it was starting in the middle of things. And that was because it is book two and I’ve never read book one. So, yes, I am starting in the middle of the story. This explained a … [Read more]
A Not-So-Scary Story by Barney Saltzberg
I Got the Spooky Spirit by Connie Schofield-Morrison and Frank Morrison

Every single chapter in Song of Susannah starts with the "Come-come-commala" song that we first encountered in the previous book, Wolves of the Calla, when Roland Deschain, gunslinger, does a rousing rendition of the Commala dance. I can't comprehend why Stephen King got so obsessed with this … [Read more]
A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas
This is the fourth in the ACOTAR series and hits the novella category rather than a novel. The plot, such that it is, it pretty much boils down to Feyre and Friends Go Christmas shopping. Winter Solstice is approaching in the Night Court. There's plenty of drinking, eating and exchanging of … [Read more]
