The Night Masquerade (Binti #3)

The Night Masquerade (Binti #3) by Nnedi Okorafor

by 2 Comments

This was a great ending to the series. I honestly took a while to get back to it because I wanted to take my time. Okorafor does a great job of ending the series in a satisfying way. I will echo what some other readers said though which is that it felt like the story had several endings. I think it … [Read more]

The City and the Pillar

The City and the Pillar by Gore Vidal

This is Gore Vidal's third novel, first published in 1948. His first novel Williwaw was a solid success and is one of the very first WWII novels, even though the novel primarily takes place far away from the war. His second novel, In a Yellow Wood, was considerably less successful, perhaps as Vidal … [Read more]

Haven

Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon

So I gave this one 3.5 stars and rounded it up to 4 stars. I have to say once the book just moved straight to Shep and Claudia having hot sexy times it got a lot better.

Eat the Rich

A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G Summers

by 2 Comments

Look if you're gonna credit Brett Easton Ellis in the acknowlegements, I better be able to tell what level of irony you are doing that on.
