I was in a book store and happened upon this book (see July 21st post, minding my own business). I read the liner notes and thought it looked promising, so I got it along with several other books. I had finished another book and was ready to move on to something new, so I startedContinue reading “Hang the Moon by Jeannette Walls”

So there I was, minding my own business…
I was at a strip mall, looking for some supplies. I walk out of the store, take a look around, and I spot it. A Barnes and Noble book store. If you know me, you know I have a weakness for book stores. I didn’t want to go, really! But I looked at my feet,Continue reading “So there I was, minding my own business…”
Portent by James Herbert
Hey folks, I’m back with another book review. But first, please understand that when I picked this one up I was thinking Frank Herbert of Dune fame. No relation, absolutely.

As luck would haveContinue reading “A long time ago…”

But that’s not the good news. I’ve discovered, just down the street from me, is a book store! Imagine my surpriseContinue reading “Good News!”
Slaughterhouse 5
I read this and my one regret is I finished it. It ended. It’s over. Now what? Just continue on as if nothing had happened? Consider my life choices, trying to figure out where I went wrong? I don’t know. There are few books that can do that to me. Why did I even readContinue reading “Slaughterhouse 5”
A wise man once said…pt 2…
To become a better writer you must read books from authors better than you. So I picked up Jordan Peele’s Out There Screaming. And I feel out of my league. This is a collection of short horror stories written by black authors. Each story is a dive into murky waters that twirl you around blindly.Continue reading “A wise man once said…pt 2…”
