I have to confess, on this list of all the books I've reviewed and will, this book is not my own. It was a borrow from my mother, who enjoys biographies. This, like most biographies, covers the highlights of the subject's life, but also taught me a few new ones. It really digs into Kennedy's... Continue Reading →
2020 Book Review: Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne
This classic was a suggested read when I was in school. Whether it was an assignment or just a recommendation from my teacher, I can't remember. This is a beautifully written story of adventure written by Jules Verne. When you take in consideration, the period of which it was written and the other works Verne... Continue Reading →
2020 Book Review: Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson
I find myself time to time delving into a biography, usually that of musicians I’ve enjoyed, but sometimes a politician or great mind comes into my possession. This is one of those great mind examples of a biography I thoroughly enjoyed. This is a complete journey into the world and man of Leonardo da Vinci.... Continue Reading →
2020 Book Review: Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
I already posted my review on American Gods by Neil Gaiman, an excellent read, and I recommend it if you haven’t read it yet. When I found out that there was a second edition of the American Gods world I knew I had to buy it and luckily, when I bought my edition of American... Continue Reading →
The Books in Review for 2020
We're at week 39/40 for book reviews with a goal of 53 this year. Friday a new review will go up as per usual, but I decided before that review to post how I came to the books I have been reviewing. Last year, when the prepping for this year on the website began, I... Continue Reading →
2020 Book Review: Ernest Hemingway on Writing by Larry W. Phillips
Despite the belief Hemingway held that talking about writing was bad luck, I am no Hemingway. In fact, talking about writing is one thing I enjoy doing most. Sharing my experiences in the land of literature. I’m in a constant fluid-like state of shifting in attempts to improve my skills and grow as a writer.... Continue Reading →
2020 Book Review: American Gods by Neil Gaiman
I fell in love with the television show version of this, but as with many books I’ve previously reviewed, I had to find the book. If you follow you me on Instagram, you probably saw an image or two of my editions of this book and even Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I got my... Continue Reading →
2020 Book Review: From the Ashes of Angels by Andrew Collins
I'm sure today's review is of no surprise from those that have read my personal work. I have been fascinated by angels, fallen angels, The Watchers, and the list continues for many years. The book that is the subject of today's review is one of the many books I've read on the topic, it is... Continue Reading →
2020 Book Review: Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche
I once heard that you couldn't be considered an intellectual or truly into modern philosophy if you hadn't read Friedrich Nietzsche in some capacity. I had studied him a bit in college, but my focus was on ancient philosophers, the originators of the methods that would eventually be built upon, and those of the 'old... Continue Reading →
2020 Book Review: Bond of Blood by Diane Whiteside
This is not a book for everyone. It's a romance novel with erotic aspects to it (sometimes I may write like this, but don't often read this type of story). This is not my usual book I will grab and read, but sometimes I see something that really makes me want to read it and... Continue Reading →
