  • Book Review: Progress by Nicole Higginbotham-Hogue

    This is the second book from this author that I have read. At first I thought this one was heading in a better direction. I was deceived. The plot is so convoluted it begins to get tiresome. The grammar and editorial errors throughout are no better that the first book I read. Half the time…

  • Book Review: Cupid’s Bow

    This will be one of my last reviews for Bold Stroke Books. I would like to thank them for the ARC via Netgalley and remind you all that the following review is my own honest opinion, which has never been swayed by a free book (except for the times when I kept my mouth shut…

  • Blue is the Warmest Color

    Finally got to read the graphic novel that the graphic movie is based on. So this post will be a review of both the movie and graphic novel. Obviously, I saw the movie first, if I am just now reading the comic. While I found it okay, it wasn’t the greatest film out there. It…

  • Book Review: Wayworn Lovers by Gun Brooke

    Wayworn Lovers by Gun Brooke Published by Bold Stroke Books  eBook Retail: $9.99 After reading some other reviews I wasn’t expecting too much from this book, but it surprised me. I liked it. I found the characters enjoyable and their romance fun (if not entirely believable, but it is fiction after all). Both Giselle and Tierney…

  • Take Control of Your Digital Library with Epubor

    Tired of DRM (digital rights management) controlling  how and where you use the ebooks you have purchased with your own hard earned money? You need DRM removal software. Don’t get me wrong I love my Kindle. In fact I am on my second Kindle after upgrading from my Kindle Keyboard to a Paperwhite (I wanted that…

  • Review: Breakthrough by Kris Bryant

    I detest writing a synopsis for a book review, especially when said review is being placed on a site that already has a book description on it or a bunch of other reviews that already repeat the same things over and over again. The important part of a review is what the reader though of…

  • Lord of the Sith Pretty Awesome

    Lord of the Sith Pretty Awesome

    The book Lords of the Sith is the BEST Star Wars book I have ever read. (Okay it is the first Star Wars book I have ever read, but it makes me wonder why haven’t I read more before.) I can thank the folks over at TheMarySue.com for pointing it and a bunch of other…

  • Amazon.com Equals Censorship and Discrimination

    I found out today that Amazon.com has started de-ranking what they deem to be adult content. Funny thing about that though is that the only thing that Amazon seem to be flagging as adult content is gay and lesbian themed books. They are stripping these books of their sales rankings within Amazon so as to…

  • Review: Incubus Dreams by Laurell K. Hamilton

    I first heard of Laurell K. Hamilton and Anita Blake Vampire Hunter on a toy collector’s forum a few years ago from a fan of the series. I picked up Guilty Pleasures, the first book, and rather enjoyed. Now fast forward a few years. I just picked up the audio version of the book Incubus…

  • Incubus Dreams an Anita Blake Story

    [amazon_link id=”0515139750″ target=”_blank” ]Incubus Dreams[/amazon_link] is the twelfth book in the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K Hamilton. Sticking with the formula that she knows well this story is full of vampire sex and murder. Although this particular story seems to be more sex than mystery, but it does eventually get back to the…
