Best damn guilt trip I’ve ever taken….

January 10, 2014 by Lemondrop 3 Comments

I think North Korea holds a fascination for many of us in the west. Certainly it does for me. I was eight when the Berlin Wall fell; old enough to know that something was happening, but too young to really grasp the significance. North Korea is the only closed country I’ve ever been aware of.

January 6, 2014 by narfna 2 Comments

A bit conflicted about this one. I pretty much knew what I was getting into with it, but a lot of people had given it glowing reviews, so maybe my expectations were a little too high this time around. And don’t get me wrong, it was a good book. Competently written. Good characters with actual brains in their heads. A pretty interesting sci-fi mystery. A romance.

    on Seven people go for a tour in a mysterious library housing a very rare book, and you can probably guess the rest.

    on These (Slow) Burning Stars
    No heist, but it still feels a little heist-y due to some heist-adjacent action.
