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.

The Book of Love: 50 Poems to Fall in Love Book Review
Full disclosure: I was given a free PDF copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Love is in the air, and there are many ways to express it.

Clock Dance Book Review
Lately, I’ve been thinking about how books don’t always have to have bells and whistles to keep readers interested. I mean, if people enjoy reading action-packed novels, good for them!
