Rated Gideon the Ninth 10/10

Anne Frank (June 12, 1929 – February 1945) for her thirteenth birthday received a diary. She began to write about her life, the people around her, short stories — even a novel.

She dreamed of becoming a writer.

War left us only her diary.

It stole the girl, the books she never wrote, and the life she should have had.

Rated Inside Threat A Novel 6/10

Here is a new review of my #solarpunk novella, The Blossoming of the Big Tree, and hope it can nudge you to make a purchase.
“I enjoyed this novella. It has a delightful and satisfying ending, a main character that I wholly enjoyed meeting, and a lot of different points for discussion if read as a group.”

Rated A Dark and Starless Forest 10/10

To be quite honest, I didn't know how strongly I'd feel about this book because I don't read a lot of YA, and close sibling relationships are a bit of a foreign country to me. Still, expending one's horizons and an interesting premise made me start, and wow, what a captivating story. I fully read 75% of this in one evening because I wanted to know what happened next. If suspenseful YA is your jam, this will definitely be your jam, and if you're not sure, give it a go anyway. Treat yourself.

Rated Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules 6/10

I've reviewed what is most likely the non-fiction book of the year: Jamie Fisher's 'Nobody Broke Your Heart: an intimate biography of Elliott Smith'.

This is a book that is greater than the sum of its parts. It actually widened my thought world about Smith's music, something I can say about very few music books.

Do not miss this book! Order a copy now.
