Going on Indefinite Hiatus...
Beauty in Ruins
by Bob/Sally
2y ago
As someone who is neurodivergent, the line between interest and obsession is one with which I've always struggled. I'm incapable of dabbling or experimenting. Whether it's reading, reviewing, blogging, or something else, it's an all-or-nothing commitment - and one that usually comes with (self-imposed) obligations. It's why, if a book catches my attention, I'll buy an entire trilogy (or more) before even reading the first page of the first book. It's also why, when I find an author I like, I'll often go out and buy everything they've written just on principle.  Because of that, when it co ..read more

Horror Books Coming Soon! Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted over at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about and have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released, but not necessarily. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, which was originally hosted at Breaking the Spine.  My pick for this week involves a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek in an abandoned amusement park ... and that's all I need to be hooked!

Scifi Book Review: Revenant by Alex White
Beauty in Ruins

Science Fiction Book Review Title: Revenant Author: Alex White Publication Date: December 21st 2021 Publisher: Pocket Books/Star Trek Genres: Science Fiction As much as I generally dislike stories that take characters out of their element - in this case, Jadzia Dax and Deep Space 9 - I enjoyed this. Revenant delves deep into the lives of Dax and the culture of the Trill, and while it's almost completely removed from DS9, we do get Kira, Bashir, and Worf along for the adventure. The novel works as both science fiction and horror, with a monstrous element that I really can't say ..read more
