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”

It’s time once again to talk about the man, the myth, the soldier Ernest Hemingway. I had discussed him prior with my review of his 1940 book For Whom the Bell Tolls.

As a Michigander, I always like learning about my home state’s history. Ever since the 4th grade, I’ve researched various aspects about its past.

That novelContinue reading “The Women of the Copper Country Book Review”
Fall on Your Knees Book Review

They stuff in many things that mainstream society deems as (mostly) taboo in order to get a reaction out of readers. Whether or not they achieve long-term success depends on the plot, characters, and the writing itself. Let’sContinue reading “Fall on Your Knees Book Review”
