    Is Anyone Listening? What Animals Are Saying to Each Other and to Us

    January 13, 2025

    I debated about whether or not to write a review since I didn't finish this book (I did read half the book). But I thought it be prudent for the casual reader to know my impressions of it before they pick it up. In short, it was quite interesting, but…

    Reentry: SpaceX, Elon Musk, and the Reusable Rockets that Launched a Second Space Age

    December 23, 2024

    This book effectively picks up where Liftoff left off. Plus, it covers Elon Musk's, how to put this, mental decline over the last several years. But ultimately what this book does is tells the story of the hard work that a lot of people put in to make a private…

    Batman: Resurrection

    November 5, 2024

    Do you miss the days when the Batman movies were kinda campy but not overly campy. When they were dark but not overly dark? Do you wish you could dive back into the Michael Keaton days as Batman - between Batman and Batman Returns? Do you wish there was more…

    No Man’s Land (Star Trek: Picard)

    October 18, 2024

    Is it called "No Man's Land" because the two main characters are women? I mean, I guess there are parts that take place in Romulan territory. But still... I think the title should have been "When Seven Met Raffi" or "The Taming of the Seven" or something like that.

    Are you getting a puppy? Is it your first puppy? Do you want to be a responsible puppy parent? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, good for you! We happened to answer "yes" to all three! Except the first question should have been, "Did you already get…

My Rating Scale:
5 stars:
Superb! Couldn’t put it down! Will read again! Can’t recommend this one enough!
4 stars:
Great! Really enjoyed it. Maybe a few issues, but I definitely recommend and I may read it again someday.
3 stars:
Good. I enjoyed it, but maybe there were issues or something missing. Glad I read it but probably won’t choose to read again.
2 stars:
Not great. Not the worst book I’ve ever read, but I’d have a hard time recommending it and I highly doubt I’ll choose to read this again.
1 star:
Ugh. Did not like it at all.
DNF: Did not finish. I won’t rate it because that’s not really fair since I chose not to finish it.

Sometimes I’ll watch movies that are adaptations of books and review those with a sort of compare/contrast kind of thing.

I’m a CPA and work a lot. I’ll try to update this as quick as I can when I finish a book. Mainly because if I wait too long, I’ll probably forget what the book is even about…

And if this is your first time here, and if you’re really that bored, you can read my very first post here!
