Blog posts about what I’m reading
Full disclosure: This review will not be unbiased in any way. Full bias ahead! Jacob and I have been friends for nearly ten years, I’m his biggest fan, and I had a direct hand in this book. Now that’s out of the way, let’s dive in. Godfather Death, MD, is the story of Danny Grimm, …
The story A beautiful maiden is cursed by an evil fairy to fall into a deep sleep from which only true love’s kiss can wake her. History of the story Like a lot of our most recognisable fairytales, this one was first published in more or less its current form by Gianbattista Basile, later adapted …
Last year’s list was ambitious. In my defense, I read A LOT of books, just like, only one of them was on the actual list. So, I will post a list that needs to be reviewed, books currently in progress, and the ones I have stacked up and waiting. ~This post contains affiliate links. If …

It gives me a little bit of Jeff Bezo’s filthy, filthy lucre because writing full time is expensive, and he doesn’t need the money for more joyrides in space. :-)~ My goal in 2020 was to …
I love Hans Christian Andersen. He’s a storyteller I’ve had my eye on since, oh, about 1989, if you know what I’m saying.
