Something Wicked This Way Comes

9 June 2023

One that has been sitting on my wishlist for a while, and thanks to the recent site-wide sale at Audible, I grabbed Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury for about two bucks. Horror, dark fantasy, mystery, or coming-of-age […]

Sand

7 June 2023

Sand, by Hugh Howey, is a book I first read when it came out many years ago now on Kindle. I’d been a fan of Howey’s since stumbling on his Wool series just as the second book in the series

Cinnamon Bun: Volume 5

3 June 2023

Another enjoyable (if slower) outing with the Broccoli Bunch. One of the larger story arcs seems to get wrapped up or at least partly solved. It’s hard to say since we pivot to a dungeon dive and start getting back

How to Stop Time

18 May 2023

How to Stop Time, written by Matt Haig, is inspirational and mildly depressing at the same time. The story revolves around Tom Hazard, a man who appears to be in his 40s but is actually closer to 440 due to

Tower of the Noobs

5 May 2023

He Who Fights with Monsters 7

23 April 2023

Let’s face it – if you’re at book seven of a series, you know what’s going on by now. I’m rather glad the whole Earth-centric story arc of the past three books is over and done with. While okay, it

Beware of Chicken

19 April 2023

If you’re wondering what to get next. This. Get this. Beware of Chicken, written by “Casualfarmer” (a pseudonym, obviously!) is a seriously funny slice-of-life fantasy. A kind of isekai/reincarnation style where a modern-day Canadian (I assume, given the love of

Given this is book three of the series, I won’t get too bogged down in the details, so this review will be short and sweet. First up, I need to acknowledge that, yes, there is a fourth book after this

The Perfect Run

16 April 2023

I’ve been on the fence with this one for a while since I wasn’t sure if someone looping through time would become repetitive, and for the most part, it actually isn’t. Our hero, Ryan Romano – aka Quicksave – detests
