John Prine: One Song at a Time by Bruce Rits Gilbert
I should know better than to read a self-published book by a debut author, but John Prine: One Song at a Time was pitched pretty well. It's described as a look at John Prine's life and work through the lens of his songs. In actuality, it's just all of Prine's songs listed in chronological order by … [Read more]

Farmhouse by Sophie Blackall
Sometimes when I combine picture books into one review it is because by themselves writing 250 words on each means writing more words about the book than are in the book(s), and a combo review is a fun way just to get good books out there.

However, the afterwards of the editor Matt Dembicki, shows the … [Read more]
Babylon's Ashes (The Expanse, #6) by James S.A. Corey
I still think this is one of the best books in the series but in a more stealthy way than book five, which is a WHOPPER. The rest of the series is also more actiony and intense, but this one is more about showing the consequences of what's already happened, and laying hints for what's to come than … [Read more]
