Review: The Secret of Seavale by Blake Smith

YES! Another book read for a review!! For a while there, I was worried I would flag again, readers. Luckily that does not seem to be the case! We have a special book under consideration today. It is a Regency romance and cozy mystery, neither of which are my usual go-to tales. But this novel …

Review: Servant to the Wolf by Sue Wentz

Well, I certainly do appear to be on a roll, readers. Here we have another review, this time of a book I believe I picked up on sale. The title and blurb appealed to me, and so I grabbed it while I could. Speaking of, here is the description for the novel, Servant to the …

Review: The Princess Seeks Her Fortune by Mary Catelli

Yes! Another review in time for the holiday season! I seem to have managed to throw off most of my malaise with regard to reading. Happy days! All right, on with the review! Today we are looking at Mary Catelli’s The Princess Seeks Her Fortune*. If you recall, I reviewed another of Ms. Catelli’s stories …

Review: Iron Chamber of Memory by John C. Wright

Finally! I finally got to read a John C. Wright novel! I have an earlier book by him but have yet to crack that open, because…well, if you saw my bookshelves, you would understand why. A previous book written by him which I reviewed was an audiobook and a critique of The Last Jedi, so …

Review: Mister Friday by Graham Bradley

This is not a timely review, I am afraid; the Thanksgiving weekend took a lot out of me. If it had not, I might have been able to write something about this novella earlier. Better late than never, but I do wish I had been able to do this sooner. Here is the blurb for …

Review – Bulletproof Vestments: A Father Jay Book 0 by Jane Lebak

And we have another review, readers! I may have managed to get my reading hat firmly back in place. We shall see, but it is not looking too shabby at the moment. You may recall that I reviewed Jane Lebak’s The Boys Upstairs last year, just in time for Christmas. In that review I said …

Review: Perseus Corbett and the Forbidden Valley by David Breitenbeck

Looks like I may – FINALLY – be getting back to writing reviews, readers. At the very least, I seem to be able to read rather than feel too tired to crack open a book. Let us hope it lasts…. But enough complaining – there is nothing to be gained there. We have a fun …

Review: Fever and Snow by Mary Catelli

I know, I know! Look, I am working on my TBR pile. The fact is that I am also writing my own stories, keeping a wary eye on the world, and generally dealing with Life. So reading and writing kind of get juggled and swapped, meaning there are stories I just do not have the …

Review: Rip the Falcon Comic and Animated Series

It is difficult to find anything worth watching these days, readers. Most of what is on air is mired in addressing everything save the story itself. Not only is it irritating, it is tiring. Viewers just want a little escape, something to unwind from a stressful day. Is that too much to ask? TIC Studios …

Review: The Joyous Season, A Play by Philip Barry

I am not at all sure where to start with this review, readers. The story here is an older one – it was first published and performed in New York City on January 29, 1934. As you can see, despite the title, it missed the holiday on which it was set by a couple of …
