Last Flight by Kristen Mai Giang

by Leave a Comment

From Publisher Description of Last Flight by Kristen Mai Giang: On April 24, 1975 the last flight out of Saigon, Vietnam carried over 400 people to the United States, six days before Saigon’s surrender to the North Vietnamese Army.  I was a few months old in April, therefore, I obviously have no memory of this happening. However, when I learned that the war was still basically going and I was alive for it, it was an eye opener. I had always heard about the Vietnam […]

I think the author needed a nap

Animals Rule This Land by Luke Milton

by Leave a Comment

The only reason I am reviewing Animals Rule This Land by Luke Milton is because I know someone will appreciate this, while having some clever moments but overall violent situations which can be downright oogy moments and which can really be a turn-off, graphic novel due mid-March 2024. The concept is when animals rule, humans drool. Or worse. Like getting dead worse. Therefore, if you are warped (and I mean that with much love), go for it. Though teens can read, I won’t recommend it […]

Roald Dahl’s Book of Ghost Stories by Roald Dahl

by Leave a Comment

Do you like Roald Dahl? Why do you like him? His funny (to some) stories? The weirdness? The messages? The writing style? Well, forget all of that when you approach Roald Dahl’s Book of Ghost Stories. Long story short, Dahl edited the stories in this collection to find “the best of thriller/ghost short stories.” They are classically presented, and if you told me they were written by people like Dickens, or O’Henry, or even Poe I would not be surprised. I am assuming I have […]

World of Garvey

Garvey’s Choice: The Graphic novel by Nikki Grimes

by Leave a Comment

While I am not necessarily a huge fan of Nikki Grimes’ work, I do enjoy most of what I read. And I have thought about reading their novel Garvey’s Choice for a while, yet,  I never got around to it. Then not as long as it has been out, but a while ago, I saved a link to an online reader copy of the graphic novel version, but in typical me style, forgot about it and did not find it again until recently. Which was […]

I turned my worry into anger, and my anger into fuel.

The Hanged Man: The Tarot Sequence Book Two by K.D. Edwards

by Leave a Comment

Brand closed his eyes. He kept his thoughts to himself but, in his brain, I had no doubt he was filing the swear jar like it was a slot machine. ― K.D. Edwards, The Hourglass Throne This is the second book in The Tarot Sequence trilogy, and it picks up a couple of months after the end of the first book. There is a novella, “The Sunken Mall,” which takes place between books one and two. However, since I did not learn about it until […]

Whiskey & Sin by Emily Rath

Never Been Kissed by Timothy Janovsky

Beautiful Sinner by Sara Cate

by Leave a Comment

I’ve read a bunch of books since May that were more smut than plot, so here’s a series of mini-reviews in the order I read them: 11 Hours by Octavia Jensen Briella is a paralegal in a fancy-schmancy law firm. She has an absolute hate/hate relationship with Harrison, one of the firm’s attorneys. One day, while everyone else is at the holiday party, they are working late and get stuck in an elevator together. For ELEVEN HOURS. Which is cuckoo-bananas. What kind of building doesn’t […]
