Rivers of London Series Review

Title: Lies Sleeping & False Value Author: Ben Aaronovitch Date Finished: 2/1/2022 & 3/4/2022 Rating: 4/5 I’ve said this multiple times before, and I will continue to say it throughout this blog: the problem with reading a book series that is “active” is simply this: time. Even if you find an active series that is years old and start reading, you will eventually catch up […]

Impossible Times Series Review

Title: Impossible Times Series (One Word Kill, Limited Wish, Dispel Illusion) Author: Mark Lawrence Date Purchased: 2/17/2020 Price Paid: $6.33 (total) Date Finished: 1/6/2022 Rating: 3/5 In an effort to make things a little more manageable I’m going to start reviewing books that are a series in one post instead of three different posts. It’s too much for me to keep track of and I […]

2021 – A (Reading) Year in Review

Mostly a reading recap, that is. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the reason that my blogging has dropped to almost nothing of late: Laura and I welcomed our son into the world on November 26th. I’ve been able to maintain my reading pace, which is awesome, but finding time to write about things has been tough. In fact, I’m realizing that my […]

Wow. It’s been a whole year since I started this blog. What started as a joke between my wife and I has become an endeavor which has both kept me working through the backlog of books I had acquired and made me think a little more critically about the books I read. So, to celebrate one year of blogging I thought it would be good […]

Recursion Review

Title: Recursion Author: Blake Crouch Date Purchased: 11/29/2019 Price Paid: $3.17 Date Finished: 10/20/2021 Rating: 3/5 I’ve come to think of Blake Crouch as an author that will write some fairly decent sci-fi that will often have some sort of twist or left turn that the reader doesn’t see coming. I’ve read his “Pines” trilogy, and previously read Dark Matter for this blog. I’ve enjoyed […]

Scourged Review

Title: Scourged Author: Kevin Hearne Date Purchased: 10/28/2019 Price Paid: $8.47 Date Finished: 10/5/2021 Rating: 3/5 I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it again before this project is done: the genres of books that I read tend to be trilogies, sagas, series, etc. It’s rarely a standalone novel. This can present some challenges for the reader, and Scourged falls prey to one […]
