Speculate is a gorgeous (both in text and visuals) collection of prose-poetry by Eugen Bacon and Dominique Hecq. I thoroughly enjoyed these little snippets of literature, presented as one author’s response to the other’s writing. It worked well in this way, with a real stream-of-consciousness, dreamy quality that was entrancing. Highly recommended. One of the Read More …
I had been hearing about Lisa Jewell for some time and decided to try The Family Upstairs. The story jumps back and forth from the present, where a young lady, Libby, learns she has inherited a house associated with her real family, to the past, where a well-off family life goes from mainly normal to Read More …

I am excited to host a spot on Kathe Koja’s THE CIPHER blog tour, with a giveaway, guest post from the author, and my own mini-review of the book.

This middle-grade debut by Janae Marks is highly recommended. The characters were engaging, especially Zoe who is a take charge, no-nonsense protagonist who loves to bake. When she gets a letter from her real father, whom she’s never met, and, uh oh, is in prison for a crime she learns is pretty bad, a correspondence Read More …
We are excited to be a part of THE INVISIBLE blog tour. The book is fun, yet deep, and always unpredictable. His City-States are a dystopian world much like our own, where politics and corruption take center stage way more than they should. Very engaging, a quotable line on almost every page. The Invisible is a Read More …
Station Eleven is one of my favorite post-apocalyptic novels. The story drew me in, not your run of the mill PA fare. The characters were well-developed, and enough tension in the plot to keep things interesting, but not so focused on the gloom and doom as much as a little snapshot of this group who Read More …
This book is so good. Damn this author can write. Off the charts prose that will have you rereading and shaking your head at how on earth he does it. This is a whacky, sometimes dark, sometimes hilarious story of two men, each running from their own troubles, one legal, one medical, who end up Read More …
