3/5 stars Mixed Bag Short Story Collection Summary: The stories range a bit in genre from zombie apocalypse to family drama to futuristic scifi to suspense to flat out horror. It’s a little hard to judge something like this on the whole. There are stories in here I absolutely loved, like the one with the…
3/5 stars A Turtle’s Magical Adventure by Wanda Luthman Summary: Tad the Turtle’s journey to accept himself. Additional Comments: – The book contained some interesting world-building (like the wizard’s seeming absolute rule over the forest), but there wasn’t enough details to really make anything stick. – I realize it’s a children’s book, but the turtle…
Introduction: Everybody knows that music can hit a whole lot of emotions. People have used it to enhance movies and television shows for ages. Recently, I’ve asked a friend whose taste in music ranges very far and wide to select songs for themes, characters, and situations in some of my book series. What follows…
Introduction: This is most definitely a period piece Summary: Mary Davenport deals with the death of her father and a slew of intrigue within her own house.

Introduction: Western’s not typically a genre I seek out, either in movies or books. That said, this is a very good story. Summary: Darcey Teller and Luv Lass team up to take on some heartless outlaws. Additional Comments: – The blurb pretty much outlines the whole story. – It’s not a perfect story, but…
Introduction: This book was a bit of a change of pace. It’s really more of a family drama than anything else. Most of the time, I recommend reading a book’s blurb first, but in this case, just don’t if you hate spoilers. Summary: Peter’s got an incredible gift for playing the piano. Additional Comments:…
Introduction: I typically only post reviews of things I’ll put on the audiobook edge list. While this one will not be featured, it’s the sort of story that each person should decide for themselves whether to give it a go. Summary: A girl gets kidnapped and trained in her special skill … Additional Comments:…
Introduction: It’s been awhile since I posted any audiobook reviews. Still got a mixed bag of them to review. Let’s start back up with a darker sort of epic fantasy. It had fantastic narration provided by Genevieve Sibayan, but I’m a little ambivalent on the plot and characters. *spoilers possible in discussion part* Summary:…
