The Inner Movement Review

Title: The Inner MovementAuthor: Brandt LeggDate Purchased: 3/30/2014Price Paid: $1.99Date Finished: 1/20/2021Rating: 3/5 I don’t remember reading a lot of young adult books when I was an actual young adult. A couple of minutes on Google revealed that while the genre is hundreds of years old, there wasn’t a massive explosion of titles until after Harry Potter popped onto the scene in 1997. I was […]

Looking Ahead #6

We are still early on in the year, but I’ve been pretty happy with my reading habits in 2021. I spend at least 30 minutes prior to bed reading, and I try to find a few minutes in the morning as I’m going through my pre-work routine. Let’s jump in to the next look ahead where I’ll be updating you on the book I’m currently […]

Looking Ahead #5

A new year always brings along with it resolutions, but I think this project is a big enough undertaking that I don’t need to harness myself to another commitment. I did set a reading goal on Goodreads of 30 books, which is above my normal 24-books-a-year pace. We’ll see how that goes. Let’s jump in to the next look ahead where I’ll be updating you […]

Apex Review

Title: ApexAuthor: Ramez NaamDate Purchased: 9/28/2015Price Paid: $0.99Date Finished: 12/25/2020Rating: 3/5 Wrapping up a trilogy is usually pretty fulfilling. You expect questions to have been answered, plot threads to get wrapped up, and some form of resolution to have been reached. Apex does an admirable job with all three of these things, even though I wish I hadn’t read this in 2020. Before I get […]
