I’ll try to keep this short and sweet, as it’s very difficult to discuss this novel without potentially spoiling the story for any new readers. That said, I highly recommend that if you haven’t already read this book, you go into it completely blind. The less you know about the story, the better it will be. Book Summary What would you do if your world … Continue reading Bookmarked: The Wife Between Us

Wow. Just wow. “Spider-Man” was incredible. I can, without a doubt, make that claim. Want to know why I’m so confident in that? Let’s start with the subjective and take a trip back down memory lane. When I was younger, I received my first console – a PS2. Now, we always had consoles in the house, but this one was mine. No sharing with my … Continue reading Playtime: Spider-Man (PS4)
“The Devil in the White City” was described to me as a true-crime thriller, covering the horrific murders of a serial killer who used the World Fair of Chicago to lure his victims. I decided this would be an interesting book to fulfill one of the checklist items of my 2018 “Read Harder” challenge. It would be intriguing and creepy, but would be far enough … Continue reading Bookmarked: The Devil in the White City
People say that you’re not supposed to judge a book by a cover. Well, don’t tell those people, but I chose to read “Reincarnation Blues” solely because it had a funky neon cover. I honestly didn’t know anything about the book except that the cover artwork was colorful and fun. Little did I know, this book’s heart was also colorful and fun. First, a little … Continue reading Bookmarked: Reincarnation Blues
“The Library at Mount Char” is, without a doubt, one of the most interesting and unique books that I have read in quite some time. In a year in which we have seen and will see some fantastic and long-awaited releases, “The Library” may just, albeit quietly, assume the position of best fiction book I’ve read in 2018. The novel immediately thrusts you into the … Continue reading Bookmarked: The Library at Mount Char
As I’ve mentioned before, I picked up a PSVR bundle during Sony’s E3 sale. The bundle came with a demo disk of various games and a copy of “Skyrim VR.” The demo disk was definitely a fun start, but ultimately left me wanting – as demo disks are designed to do – because none of the demos gave me the satisfaction of a complete game. … Continue reading Playtime: PS VR Worlds
On a whim, I walked to the bookstore, hoping to kill some time on a warm summer night. Making a random selection off the fiction shelves, I left the store ten bucks lighter and with zero expectations. I didn’t realize that I had, in my hands, a rare – adult – dystopian gem. For someone stuck in the vast realm of Young Adult Dystopian Fiction, … Continue reading Bookmarked: Wool
It’s very rare that I read an entire novel in a single day, and even rarer when I finish an entire book in one sitting. And yet, this past weekend, I found myself doing just that – Tom Cooper’s “The Marauders” is a fast-paced, wickedly-fun adventure into the marshes of Louisiana, and I just couldn’t put it down. Cooper introduces a myriad of characters that, … Continue reading Bookmarked: The Marauders
