Book Highlight: My Most Excellent Year

I put this book under book highlights because I am so biasedly incapable of doing an objective review of this. This book by Steve Kluger is just wholesomely wonderful. Not in the sacherrine way but in a this is how life and people should be. Characters are everything to me when I read, and I…

Dionysos: The New God Review

Hey, it’s my birthday and I got the final book of George O’Connor’s The Olympians series as a gift. And is Dionysos a fitting conclusion to this 10+ year series? You bet it is.

Bobbie Faye’s Very (very, very, very) Bad Day Review

I found this in my search for my comedoc mysteries like Stephanie Plum. While funny, I found it to be more like a comedic action flick on steroids.
