Book Review: One Big Happy Family By Jamie Day

08-01-2024

Lots Of Moving Pieces, Yet Feels Slow Somehow. I think a growing peeve of mine- maybe not yet a pet peeve, but certainly a major annoyance - is using a "hurricane" bearing down on a location and yet usi

Book Review: Textbook Romance By Kristen Bailey

08-01-2024

Solid RomCom in Shared World With Other Books From Author. This is one of those books where characters other than our main couple play crucial roles and while it isn't *completely* obvious that they are pre-existing characters from other books... it also kinda is

Book Review: No Democracy Lasts Forever By Erwin Chemerinsky

07-31-2024

Unoriginal Hyper-Leftist Wet Dream. In all honesty, had I known that Chemerinsky was the Dean of the Berkely School of Law, I probably would never have picked up this book to begin with. I would have already known most of what he was going to say... and now having actually read it, I can positively say that 95% of my assumptions would have been correct.

Basically, however you feel about the Citizens United ruling, recent SCOTUS decisions, packing the Court, the Electoral Colleg

Does NOT Predict July 2024 Assassination Attempt of President Trump. This is a book I've had for a few years now - apparently I purchased my copy in 2020, several years after it had been out, and I just this month read it after an Acto

Book Review: Decade Of Disunion By Robert W Merry

07-23-2024

Interesting History That Doesn't Really Fulfill Its Premise. As a general history of the titular "Decade of Disunion", this is actually a reasonably well written and documented look at the overall political situation in the US in the decade (and then some) just before

Blog Tour: The Backtrack By Erin La Rosa

07-17-2024

For this blog tour, we're looking at an atypical tale in a lot of ways that still works quite well. For this blog tour, we're looking at The Backtrack by Erin La Rosa.

First, the review I posted to the book sites (BookHype.com / BookBub.com / TheStoryGraph.com / Goodreads.com):

Atypical Tale In So Many Ways Yet Everything Works Well. I'm actually listening to the playlist that plays such heavy role in this book as I sit down to write this review, and while not *everything* is to my own tastes, either back in 2005 or 20 yrs later in 2024 as I write this, the songs are not *so far* out there as to not be enjoyable, particularly given the characters in this story and where they are from. (Says the fellow native Georgian who is less than a decade older than the characters here. :D) As an example, Fall Out Boy and The Offspring? Yes please. :)
