Book Reviews
Nutmeg Street: Egyptian Secrets, Sherrill Joseph
Hello my loves! How are we this week? Properly isolated, I hope? As the fantastic Rickey Thompson says, I hope we are all STAYING. THE F***. INDOORS (don’t watch that link with kids around!). Where possible, obviously. In all seriousness… Read More ›
Southern Spirits 5th Anniversary Deluxe Set, Angie Fox
Well hello there! We have….another….cozy mystery! Well, technically we have two and a novella, because the 5th anniversary edition of Angie Fox’ popular series is another compilation, at least in electronic format. It contains Southern Spirits, A Ghostly Gift, and The Skeleton… Read More ›

The Last Wish, Andrzej Sapkowski
Hello, lovely nerds! I mean, you sort of had to realize this one was coming. I love to read fantasy books, there’s this new show on Netflix (maybe you’ve heard of it? The Witcher?) based on a series of fantasy… Read More ›
How To Write A Lot, Paul J. Silvia
Well, this is different, isn’t it? I don’t know if I’ve reviewed a ‘productivity’ sort of book on here before, as I tend to keep that as more of a ‘work’ thing than a PPC thing, but this book actually… Read More ›
