Sticking it to Cancer One Book at a Time

Zoey is strong, tough, and super stubborn

The Last Girl (The Dominion Trilogy Book 1) AND The Final Trade (The Dominion Trilogy Book 2) by Joe Hart

by Leave a Comment

This is Book one of “The Dominion Trilogy”.  All three books in the trilogy were available on Kindle Unlimited, so I downloaded all three and started at one! We open the story by meeting Zoey.  She has no last name, and we find out quickly that she’s nearly 21.  She lives in some sort of facility that is very strict.  Throughout the story, we learn that she doesn’t know her parents, she doesn’t have any siblings, and she’s with other girls in the same boat.  There was an event called The Dearth, where no more female babies were being born. […]

Player One is Ready!

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

by Leave a Comment

I absolutely loved this book.  I know an audiobook is good when it makes me sit in my car outside my garage (so I don’t die from asphyxiation) and continue listening after I get home.  This book is read by Wil Wheaton, who just has a great voice with fun inflections, and tone changes, and all that is good in the world. This book was 15 hours long, so there’s a lot to cover.  I really don’t want to give anything away, so I’m going to do do a bare bones plot overview.  I had so much fun seeing what […]

I’m finally reading The Handmaid’s Tale

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

by 1 Comment

I liked all of these covers, so I added them all. For some reason, I had no idea that this book was published in 1986.  It feels so so current.  I wanted to read it before watching any of the Hulu series, which looks great.  This will officially be my fifth Margaret Atwood book.  I think I like her 🙂 This book just tosses you right into the everday slog of being a Handmaiden.  You wake up in a blank, meaningless room, put on your red clothes, and walk downstairs.  You’re not supposed to look at yourself.  In fact, you […]

This lady talks about chemtrails, I have a hard time believing anything she says…

Heal Hashimoto's: Start with the Gut by Dr. Sharon Lee Rasa

by 2 Comments

I have hypothyroidism.  I had half of my thyroid removed in 2008, and I’ve been on medicine ever since.  It turned out that I had a goiter, a benign tumor, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.  Basically my immune system is trying to kill what’s left of my thyroid.  Fun times!!  My thyroid numbers have been considered normal for a while, but I still feel like hot garbage (literally hot, I’m generally the temperature of a menopausal woman, but I’m in my 30’s!) frequently.  I thought I’d give this book a chance.  Thankfully, it was free through Kindle Unlimited.  Usually that doesn’t mean […]

If Only the Truth were that this was a good book!

Only the Truth by Adam Croft

by Leave a Comment

So… I read a short story by Adam Croft, and reviewed it here earlier in June.  I read the short first to see if I liked the author’s writing.  I guess at the time I thought it was ok, because I went on to read this book.  I went back and read my review after finishing Only the Truth, and saw that I really didn’t like the short!  At first I wasn’t really sure why I went ahead and read the book.  Then I read some comments and reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, and realized that I read it BECAUSE […]

Who is the kind worth killing?

The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson

by 2 Comments

I listened to this as an audiobook, and once again the voice talent elevated the story. There were actually four separate actors that read this story. People kept dying, so two narrators had to be replaced 😁. The story starts out with two people meeting at an airport bar in London. Their flight back to Boston was postponed, so they started drinking and talking. Ted, our main character is some sort of business guy that just found out his wife is cheating on him with his contractor. He’s building a huge fancy house in Maine, and his wife (who didn’t […]

[Now with more dogs!] An Extinction Cycle short to hold us (me) over until Book 7 is released!

Extinction Lost: A Team Ghost Short Story (Kindle Single) by Nicholas Sansbury Smith

by Leave a Comment

This is a short story to be read after Book six.  Since I just finished book six, Amazon recommended this to me.  I was deep in Extinction town at this point, so I downloaded it!  It’s only five chapters and about eighty pages long, so it was a quick read. Don’t worry, it includes my favorite character (Apollo).  Although he doesn’t get much to do, he does comfort Fitz, and the other soldiers.  He comforted some kids that they rescued in Book  six too.  Basically everything you do (including fighting insanely weird / scary / disgusting / man-eating monsters) is […]

The Variants are back, and so is Apollo!

Extinction Aftermath (The Extinction Cycle Book 6) by Nicholas Sansbury Smith

by Leave a Comment

This is book six in the Extinction Cycle books.  I read book five a few months ago, and then needed a little break from the bleak world of the Variants and the Juveniles and all the fighting.  When I picked this book up (Kindle version natch), it took me a little while to get into it, for those very same reasons.  Once I got going though, I couldn’t stop.  I love the characters in this world.  Also, Apollo is back.  Once I saw he’d be fighting with a main character (Fitz), I clicked on X-ray on my Kindle to see […]
