The Puzzle Master

I enjoyed this one! I love a good puzzle as much as the next guy, but Mike Brink is a savant in the realm of puzzles, and this story is a doozy of one. Quite a few things are going on so the reader needs to pay close attention to keep track of all the threads […]

I had a good time with this book! It is always lovely to catch up with my favorite serial killer, Joe Goldberg. This time Joe has his eye on an aspiring author named Wonder after meeting her at a writing fellowship at Harvard. The whole group of writers is an interesting group and I never […]

This was the first time that I have read any of William Landay’s work and I must say that really enjoyed this one. This is the story of a mother who vanished, leaving her 3 children clueless about what really happened. I found the very beginning of the story to be rather slow but once […]

I really enjoyed this book. I don’t read a ton of historical fiction but I do enjoy the genre from time to time. This was a really interesting novel set during World War II that focused on librarians sent to gather documents during the war. I liked the fact that this book told a story […]

Last month, I listened to all 3 books in this trilogy and had a fantastic time with them. I really enjoyed getting to know El, Orion, and the rest of the group at the Scholomance. Anisha Dadia does a fantastic job with the narration and I found myself reaching for my headphones every chance I […]

This was a fantastic collection of stories! I have been a fan of C.J.Tudor’s writing ever since I first got my hands on a copy of The Chalk Man several years ago. When I saw that she had a collection of stories being published, I couldn’t wait to dive in. I was not disappointed because […]

This was good! I like Blake Crouch’s brand of scientific thrillers. I can’t tell you if the science in this story is completely accurate or not but I can tell you that the story was incredibly exciting and I was entertained. I know that I have heard debates about whether we should be altering genes […]
