There’s no doubt that reading helps people learn about a variety of subjects, especially those that they never knew about before. What makes this possible is how the material is presented. If it’s displayed in an accessible manner, readers will be able to not only learn, but also enjoy it. I thought about this aspectContinue reading “Love, Pride, Virtue, and Fate Book Review”

The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires Book Review
Ah, Halloween has passed, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop reading scary books. I prefer scary media with some comedy. That’s why Young Frankenstein is one of my favorite films of all time.

What Am I Reading – Chapter Twenty-One
Hi Everybody! It’s been awhile since the last chapter, but I hope everyone is having a great October! For me, it’s been good, but a little stressful due to wedding planning.

The Lesser Blessed Book Review
Warning: Some elements of this review may not be suitable for those under the age of 14. When readers think of the classics, what do they often think about? The Catcher in the Rye? Pride and Prejudice? The Great Gatsby? In other words, works by white and mostly male authors who are dead. Luckily, CanadaContinue reading “The Lesser Blessed Book Review”
I Owe You One Book Review
Anyone who has read romance novels will know how predictable they can get. Some like the familiarity, while others want something more atypical. For me, it depends if I’m reading it before going to bed, or if I’m doing that during the daytime. I bring all of this up because I read I Owe YouContinue reading “I Owe You One Book Review”

What Was Your Name Downriver: Tales of the Shattered Frontier Book Review
Full disclosure: I was given a free physical copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I’ve read plenty of unique genres like comic thrillers, but none have been as bizarre as the western-fantasy hybrid. I’ve read plenty of fantasy, yet I’ve never read any westerns. When I came across the novel WhatContinue reading “What Was Your Name Downriver: Tales of the Shattered Frontier Book Review”

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry Book Review
A long time ago, I read a little book called A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. It was a wonderful novel that has influenced a subsection of the lit subgenre that I’d like to call “curmudgeon novels.” Since it was his debut novel, Backman had to follow up with something that was just asContinue reading “My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry Book Review”
