No Way Out ~Book Review~
No Way Out By: T.E. Mark Cleanliness (See "About" for scale): Trash (40+ curse words. Other content: burglary, murder, talk of sex, and death.) 3 stars This book had a very interesting world where "reality is programmable." At first I was thinking how it seemed to be similar to The Matrix. Then, as I read … Continue reading No Way Out ~Book Review~

Aftan Whispers By: Phil Williams Cleanliness (See "About" for scale): Disgusting (20+ curse words [Esp. F-Bombs]. Other questionable topics: slavery, semi-descriptive murder, drinking, kissing, and death.) 3 stars The beginning of this book was great. It was interesting, fast-paced, and sort of reminded me of Aladdin for some reason. The characters had pretty good depth. … Continue reading Aftan Whispers ~Book Review~
Graciousness ~Book Review~
Graciousness By: John Crotts Cleanliness (See "About" for scale): Very Clean (Topics to consider: religion.) 4 stars "Gentleness doesn't mean compromising the truth. Rather, it means keeping the truth from being compromised by harshness and insensitivity." How many people need to take that quote to heart? This book discusses such an important topic for Christians … Continue reading Graciousness ~Book Review~

New Year, New Books
Wow! I can't believe it's 2018 already! Happy New Year! I am pretty proud of my reading this past year. I successfully read 55 books on my goal of 35. And according to Goodreads, I read around 13,000 pages (making my average per book around 250). I'd prefer that number to be slightly higher, so … Continue reading New Year, New Books
A Flash of Red ~Book Review~
A Flash of Red By: Judith Blevins and Carroll Multz 3 Stars This is a very cute, but odd book. One major problem is it has many words and references that children would not quite understand, but it's too boring for older children. Basically, I don't believe it fits an age range. I also completely despise the … Continue reading A Flash of Red ~Book Review~
