Book of the Month: The Great Alone
Ah the great Alaskan wilderness, a place to reconnect to nature. Or in Hannah’s novel, a place where family demons come to tear them apart with no chance for help in the middle of a blizzard. Aka a nightmare in my thinking.

Finished Nancy Drew!
It only took over a year and browsing through Internet archives to get to the final two Nancy Drew books that escaped my grasp-The Clue of the Whistling Bapipes and The Strange Message in the Parchment. Oddly enough, they both involve a lot of sheep. The Bagpipes have Nancy heading to her ancestral Scotland homeland…

Ranking Pretty Tough
I’m not a sports person as any of my friends would attest. Not watching and not doing. I’m not athletic and even if I were, my 4 foot nothing size would make me an easy tackle or block or whatever the term is. But sometimes I get struck by a vicarious need to read a…

Long Live Evil Review
Rae enjoys the Time of Iron series. What she initially dismissed as one of her sister’s ridiculous fixations ends up being a lifeline when she gets a fatal diagnosis and has to distract herself in the endless waiting rooms and endless tests. She is especially attracted to the series’ villain, the Emperor. Not because of…

Fall Comics
Titans: Starfire by Kami Garcia. Illustrated by Gabriel Picolo. After the less than steller preceding books, Garcia gets the plot momentum moving with a good dose of character development. Much like the others, Kori thinks she is a normal teenage, albeit a bit more introverted due to her Ehlers-danlos syndrome making socialization a literal pain…

Book Hightlight: Tales From A Not-So-Bratty Little Sister
I know, I know. I admitted in my last post that I have too aged out of the series to enjoy it. But I still keep coming back because I have to know how it ends. . . I have a feeling it might be coming soon, but Russell is certainly stretching it out.

Nightwing
Since reading about Marvel’s best couple and leading calender man, I decided I’d give one of DC’s top hotties a look. As you can guess by the title I’m talking about the Flying Grayson! These five volumes by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo highlight how Nightwing is the best of the new generation of heroes.…

Fall Romances
Full Exposure by Thien-Kim Lam It’s been almost two years since I read the first book in the series, but it was wonderful to return to the girls of the sex positive series. Josie is a boudoir photographer but she’s been feeling burnt out. Plus it may be a steamy business, it’s not always a…
