In all my years spent reading, I’ve read some books that were indeed bizarre. These include Vita Nostra by Marina and Sergei Dyachenko and Transcendence by Shay Savage. Today, I can now add another title to that group: The Flight of Celestial Horses by Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, the former president and current Chairman of the People’sContinue reading “The Flight of Celestial Race Horses Book Review”

The Giver of Stars Book Review
Over the years, I’ve come to accept that some books might resemble others in a variety of ways. They might cover the same topic and/or contain similar scenes. This is often a coincidence. What matters is how the titles stand out from each other. And there’s the saga of The Book Woman of Troublesome CreekContinue reading “The Giver of Stars Book Review”
Oppenheimer Movie Review
July 21st, 2023 will no doubt go down as one of the most important dates in cinema history.

Superhero shows are everywhere. They are inescapable. There are always shows based on Batman, Spiderman, Avengers, Justice League, etc.,.

As someone who has worked in libraries for many years, I will always get my hands on books about librarians.

Writers & Lovers Book Review
There’s always a book about the life of a writer, how being young sucks, and/or both. Some may come off with the oh-woe-is-me mentality. I guess some of it is warranted, but others are smart enough to focus on the actions of the protagonists. Writers & Lovers by Lily King is a case of theContinue reading “Writers & Lovers Book Review”
The Tale of the Red Fox in the North Woods Book Review
Full disclosure: The author of the book that I am about to review is a patron at a library that I work at. All of the opinions stated in this review are solely mine.

Transcendence Book Review
What are the first things that come to mind when someone says “caveman romance?” People might say a romance, usually a steamy one, between a caveman and probably a modern woman. What if I told you that there’s a book like that but with more? It’s called Transcendence by Shay Savage, and it’s strange inContinue reading “Transcendence Book Review”

Full disclosure: I was given a free electronic copy by BookFunnel in exchange for an honest review. I enjoy reading short stories from time to time.
