The Inspection Soundtrack

I just finished Inspection by Josh Malerman, the author of Bird Box of Netflix fame, this past weekend. It was so freakin’ good in that disturbing way that great thrillers are. So that’s the book I’m going to feature for my soundtrack! This list of songs, in my opinion, totally fits the mood of the […]

First Lines: Inspection

No boy had ever failed an Inspection. Inspection by Josh Malerman Inspection is by the same guy who wrote Bird Box, which is also on my TBR along with the upcoming sequel. The book is horror-meets-thriller-meets-conspiracy theory, and it is so good! Goodreads | Amazon

#ListfulBooks: The Multiverse

I love books about the multiverse. There are so many theories about it, theories that are WAY above my ability to grasp. But I love the ways authors interpret them in fiction. I’ve read most of this list, and those I haven’t are on my TBR!

I just finished… The Yellow Brick War (Dorothy Must Die, #3) by Danielle Paige. This is an interesting series, based on The Wizard of Oz tales. They take place after the famous book, both in Oz and in our world. And Dorothy’s story is more than a book; it’s history. It’s a 4-book series with a […]

At first sight…

I love books, I love bookstores, I love libraries! Rows and rows of books, the beautiful spines, the smell of the paper. Each one represents a new story, a new world, new ways of life. There are so many books to hold, to touch, to experience. So many books and not enough time to read […]

I just finished… Winds of Change (Mage Winds, #2) by Mercedes Lackey. It’s a reread for me, one that I love. Fun fact… it’s part of Lackey’s epic Valdemar saga, dozens of singles, duologies, trilogies, anthologies, etc. There are 37 books and counting and more than a dozen anthologies with hundreds of shorter stories. I’ve […]

#ListfulBooks: The Dystopia Edition

One of my all-time favorite genres is dystopian fiction. There is something very thought-provoking about reading about a world that could be our own. Even if they are set in worlds that might never come to pass, there is something honest about them, the realization that what is utopian for some is always dystopian for […]

Literary Quarantivity

There is a silver lining to everything, even the coronapocalypse. Most of us have a little bit more time on our hands, even if we gained it in way we wish hadn’t. It’s so easy to get bogged down in the doom of it all. For me, it’s been all about the craftiness. I’ve been […]
