I met Andrea Pearson in person before knowing about any of her books – but oddly enough, that’s how I was with Brandon Sanderson too. What impressed me about Mrs. Pearson is the fact that she writes purely for eBooks and has made it work. I wasn’t terribly impressed with her “Discern” (earlier book review
It’s about time I wrote another book review blog post, and guess what? It’s about time… literally. Though, in case you’re interested, I succeeded my Camp NaNoWriMo goal! While I’m sorry I didn’t have any time for reading, by doubling my usual writing goal, I was able to finish my novel and get a heavy
Some of you may be aware of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in November. In quick summary, writers across the United States try to write 50,000 words (a typical 200 page novel) during the 30 days of November. I’ve tried and failed multiple times. This month is Camp NaNoWriMo, as we get to set our
Congratulations, Brandon Sanderson. You’ve impressed me. Again. I know I didn’t have a lot to say about “Alloy of Law” or “Shadows of Self,” but “Bands of Mourning” returns to the epic chaos and discovery of the “Mistborn” series. For most of the book, you’re balancing between two main plot ideas, including 1. trying to find a
Concerning the title, I did say I like heavy beat music… so yes, the stupid video techno-mash-up of “They’re Taking the Hobbits to Isengard,” has been blasted on my computer speakers more times than I’ll admit. 😉 Anyway, I finally finished JRR Tolkien’s “The Hobbit!” I should have read this back in junior high for the classic
Hey, sorry I didn’t post anything the past couple weeks. I actually did finish a book this weekend, but I was asked not to publicly review it, since it is still in draft mode. If you’ll see in my Goodreads widget to the right, there are some exciting reviews coming up! As for now, it’s
Back in January, I said I was done with Stephen King for a while because of the vulgarity. Then I got a new idea for a horror novel, which meant I needed to study up a bit on the genre. That was when I ran into “The Mist,” originally in a collection of Mr. King’s short
I’ve been pretty spoiled so far this year, concerning the great books I’ve read. Sure, there were two 2-star books in the beginning, but lately I’ve been diving into some great books. Maybe my expectations were ‘epic level,’ but somehow I wasn’t as impressed by Brandon Sanderson’s “Calamity.” As the finale of the Reckoner’s series (beginning
I first read Stephen Gashler’s “Prisoner of the Mole People” last year, and true to this author’s character, his books are random. If you want to be surprised and completely unable to guess what’s coming, keep tabs on this author and his books. Written for a middle reader’s audience, “The Bent Sword” is about a medieval
You know I’m pretty hard to impress, but”Six Wings” by Kylie Malchus actually surprised me… in fact, I’d even say I was impressed. “Six Wings” is a story about a young man who dies and is forced to watch his wife learn to live without him. Ms. Malchus does a great job of portraying the
