*runs around the room screaming* I don’t know how to review this. I seriously contemplated just posting a bunch of quotes. Is this my first Weir book? Yes. Did I convince my s/o to try The Martian last year because “he wasn’t a reader?” Even though I hadn’t read it? Also yes. But that’s because… Continue reading Project Hail Mary, Andy Weir

The Other Side of Night, Adam Hamdy
Okay wow! Unfortunately, I have to say little about this book, so I don’t spoil anything because many reviews do. I’ve been sitting on this review for a few days and still don’t have the right words.

The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas
I’m not one for reviewing classics. What can I add to the conversation of a book that has been reviewed, discussed, and dissected for decades? This year, I have made it my quest to read books that have sat on my shelves for too long. Or books that I’ve always wanted to read.

Weinstein

This is well reviewed;… Continue reading Things in Jars, Jess Kidd

Upgrade, Blake Crouch
Before we get into my review, I have a personal note to add. Yesterday my best friend's daughter called to tell me that he passed away.
