“Heaven’s Shadow,” by Jeff Downs, is an older and less popular book, so I’ll keep this brief. In my mind, I can quickly and easily summarize this entire book as a “Covenant Communications’ teen space novel.” This is how it breaks down: Space: it’s set in another system of two worlds. Teen: Coming of age novel with
My motivation for finishing “Mr. Mercedes,” by Stephen King, was my library due-date, and I had already used my renewal. My original plan was to read his new book, “Finders Keepers,” but thought it would be better to read the introductions to the characters in “Mr. Mercedes” first. However, when I returned the book today at
This truly is “the most wonderful time of the year.” I hope everyone’s enjoying their Winter break! I’m definitely enjoying it with reunions with family and friends, and when the parties are over, going home to a comfortable spot and a good book. 🙂 Here’s a quick summary of my year in books: Goodreads List (though I
My moral bubble was stabbed like a pin cushion on this one. I’m surprised I actually finished Christopher Moore’s “A Dirty Job” with my audible shouting the F-bomb every 10 seconds. That’s not even counting the sexual innuendos and blatant crude jokes and scenes. It’s really hard for me to separate the story from the
Similar to “Alloy of Law,” I don’t really have any strong feelings about “Shadows of Self,” by Brandon Sanderson. I don’t know, maybe once I start writing about it, I’ll figure out what’s going through my head. 😛 The characters of Wax and Wayne are intriguing and humorous to follow, and the setting is a
Hey, so you may have noticed the revamped site and switched around widgets and menus to cater to your needs (or at least, that’s their intention). One of these additions is a Review Request (seen to the right) >>>>> Even though I have a few lists of classics and contemporary novels to read, I figure
Gerald N. Lund is pretty well known as a Christian historical fiction writer, following the spiritual journeys of Jesus Christ (Kingdom and the Crown series), pioneers moving West (Work and the Glory series), and South (San Juan Saints series), and now the struggles of Germans during the World Wars (Fire and Steel series). “The Storm Descends” is book 2
I found it really interesting to read one of the first of the popular apocalyptic novels. For only about 40 years after Jules Verne, the science fiction genre has developed a lot. H.G. Wells’ “War of the Worlds” reads much closer to a modern story telling with deeper character development and heavier plot structure. Even still, there’s
I’m having a hard time deciding my perspective on Brandon Sanderson’s “Alloy of Law.” I don’t have any strong feelings about it, other than: it wasn’t what I expected (pace-wise). At this point, I’ve read a lot of Brandon Sanderson books, and overall, I’m a fan. This book follows a different plot structure though, which
BONUS BOOK REVIEW! I don’t know why I don’t include my daily scripture reading in my book count. Anyway, I didn’t warn you about this, but here’s a book review on “The Book of Mormon,” because I finished it last week. In my personal studies, I’m now beginning “The Bible’s” “The Old Testament” and am in
