Welcome to Charon's Crossing. The tea is hot, the scones are fresh, and the dead …
I loved House on the Cerulean Sea, but this one was just okay. Nothing bad about it per se, but it just wasn't as captivating for me as the other.
Faster than light travel is impossible--until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field available …
Loved Old Man's War series up to a certain point, figure this would be a good option.
It’s bad enough waking up in a half-destroyed evil wizard’s workshop with no eyebrows, no …
A dark wizard wakes up with his memories missing, a captured princess, and a castleful of goblins working for him. From here he has to discover who he was and who he wants to be. It was an enjoyable read and I love a decent antihero story.
For a story about a magical school they barely talk about the actual studies or school. It's more about the scandals between the six of them.
The series is entertaining enough, and it has a decent take on recycling gods from history. But I wouldn't say they're amazing or must reads. If you liked OSC's other books, the Mithermage series will probably be an enjoyable read for you.
A departure from Sanderson's normal works, it was pretty good for what it was.
In a near-future New York City where a service alerts people on the day they …
This was recommended to me a while back, and I grabbed it not expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised at how moved I was by it. A lot of feels at the end.

What do you get if you cross Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with Eurovision? And if you're a fan of audiobooks, the narrator gets to do some good ones.

I didn't dislike The Lost Cause, but it definitely wasn't my favorite of his books. The sentiment I agree with, but something about the unbridled optimism of the youth felt off to me. Maybe it's just me getting old and jaded.

May as well continue my Doctorow reading list.
New York Times bestseller Cory Doctorow's Red Team Blues is a grabby next-Tuesday thriller about …
Tangentially related to cryptocurrency, a forensic accountant gets blamed for a death by warring mob-like forces. Not my favorite of his works, but it was short and captivating enough.
John Scalzi channels Robert Heinlein (including a wry sense of humor) in a novel about …
Remember really liking this series. Picked up the lot from a humble bundle and thought I'd give it a reread.
Was recommended to me at a small bookstore on the coast, so I picked it up.
