Signal Moon by Kate Quinn
I think this book was a short that fulfilled a Kindle reading challenge accomplishment, so it was kind of a random pick. I didn’t know anything about the interception and decryption of enemy naval communications. I’m not that into history, so that isn’t a surprise. This story centers around a … [Read more]

A Court of Silver Flames, A Court of Thorns and Roses #4 by Sarah J. Maas

It’s not a spoiler for Children of Dune, but totally for Messiah. If you’re reading this review, I really hope you’ve read Messiah, … [Read more]

I was wonderfully surprised it was nothing like that. I wasn’t halfway through this graphic novel (reading a … [Read more]
Cape Fear by John D Macdonald
In the Suicide Mountains by John Gardner
More Better Deals by Joe R Lansdale
Cape Fear - Oddly I first read this novel in like 7th grade and clearly don't remember much from it. I also watched both movie versions about the same time and so my sense of what happens in the story is as much affected by those as this. This novel is much more straight forward in some ways and … [Read more]
