BoschI'm a big fan of Detective Harry Bosch, Michael Connelly's main character who is both brooding and a loner, while still having a heart that cares about the welfare of a city. Bosch is the type of character that seems so one dimensional at first but has so many layers once you get into the... Continue Reading →
Teen Titans Vol 3I was fortunate enough to win this book through a Goodreads giveaway. I was so excited because I love the Death of the Family storyline in the Batman comics. I was really looking forward to seeing this side of the story. I hate to say it, but I was kind of let... Continue Reading →
Garment of ShadowsI'm a big fan of Sherlock Holmes. Any pastiche I can get my hands on to keep the adventures of Sherlock going I will get.

World War ZI was very reserved when it came to watching this movie. I love zombie movies, but I read this book and seem to be the only person who didn't like it. The book for me was a real snooze fest. The whole book was survivors telling their stories of the war. It needed... Continue Reading →
InsurgentLet me just get this out of the way now. I was disappointed. The first book in the series, Divergent, was a very slow read to me, and I was wondering if I was ever going to get into the book. Right at the end the action picked up in Divergent, and I was hooked.... Continue Reading →
Worst Books I Read in 2013Everyone has a book or two that just rubbed them the wrong way. I had a few this year, but for the most part 2013 was a great year for books. Currently I am reading a book that could be a good candidate for Worst of 2014, but I am... Continue Reading →
January is always a time of reflection for me as well as a time to set goals. Most of my goals fall by the wayside as the year goes on as do many peoples', but I at least set goals. Part of my goal setting is what I want to read this year. Most of... Continue Reading →
