When researching for book reviews, I go to sources like Goodreads and see what other readers have said about the book in question. Sometimes, they’ll praise novels that I didn’t find all that interesting. It’s not that it was bad; it’s just that I didn’t really connect with it as much as I would’ve hoped.Continue reading “Rain is Not My Indian Name Book Review”

Lilac Girls Book Review
I’ve been reading historical fiction for a long time, and I’ve noticed that the genre adores stories about World War II. I can understand that. Authors can tackle one or multiple aspects of the war like women’s efforts, the Western Front, the Pacific Front, etc, and they can show them from any perspective. It’s aContinue reading “Lilac Girls Book Review”

Hello Everybody! I’ve finished the two books from the last chapter, so it’s fitting to read two more. They’re pretty eclectic.

The Many Adventures of Peter and Fi Volume I: Homecoming Book Review
Full disclosure: I was given a free audiobook version of this book in exchange for an honest review.

But sometimes, that changes after a certain moment, and it would change my beliefs for better orContinue reading “The Many Adventures of Peter and Fi Volume I: Homecoming Book Review”

Nighthawk Book Review
One of the most prolific authors who passed away last year (and not from COVID-19) was Clive Cussler. With and without credited ghost writers, he wrote over 70 books during his lifetime. These usually involved characters who worked at the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA) and tried to save some aspect of the environment.Continue reading “Nighthawk Book Review”

My Name is Not Easy Book Review
As I have mentioned in prior reviews, fiction allows writers to create stories that are based around certain facts, and they permit readers to take a look at how the people involved feel. Fiction also has the power to bring unknown events to a wider audience. In the case of My Name is Not EasyContinue reading “My Name is Not Easy Book Review”

Hello Everybody, I hope everyone’s having a great MLK Jr. Day! I sure am! I will continue to strive for diversity, equality, and inclusion when I review books from all walks of life.
