I do recommend this novella. It is a unique concept that is worth the time it takes to read forty six pages.

Wildmane; Threadweavers is a fabulous epic fantasy, with an emphasis on epic. Todd Fahnestock’s wordsmithing painted a world that I could touch and smell. I was captivated from the first page to the last. Mirolah wants a quiet life, but the villagers in her town will kill her if they discover the truth. She is a magical […]

Posted on February 13, 2018 Leave a Comment
Writing a book review is not just about how much you liked or disliked a book, but an opportunity to have a more in depth look into the writing itself. When you are asked to write a book review your first step, obviously, is to read the book. Every word of the book. No matter how […]

Book One, The Enhanced, introduces us to a future dystopian earth where genetically modified humans (the Enhanced) live in the upper-crust of society while the rest (Unenhanced) live in the outskirts […]

The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Buried Giant is a book that will leave you thinking long after you have finished reading the last words. Kazuo Ishiguro masterfully weaves a tale of things forgotten, covered in the mists that hang like a curtain at the edge of remembering. […]

The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova Bailey ★★★★☆ I was pleasantly surprised with this book. The writing is very eloquent. It has a quiet strength to it that the reader may not realize until after reading Ms. Bailey’s story. The main character (the author), who is gravely ill, finds her own […]
