    Pet Sematary

    October 18, 2024

    This story was not what I thought it was going to be. I haven't seen any of the adaptations of it so I just assumed you bury your pet and it comes back to life. It is and it isn't. And more toward isn't. Also, I feel dumb that I…

    Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Pluto

    October 1, 2024

    I'm sure for a lot people, they don't have that "I remember where I was when we saw the first images of Pluto." But I do. I was at work, watching a live NASA feed as they released the first high resolution images of that most distant planet, er, dwarf…

    Misery

    October 1, 2024

    I've been trying to get into Stephen King, but it's been hit or miss. I've read The Institute - 2 stars. Thinner - 4 stars, but my memory is more in the 2-star range. Probably because I hated the main character. Of course, I've read The Shining and Doctor Sleep,…

    Catalyst of Sorrows (Star Trek: The Lost Era, 2360)

    October 1, 2024

    A low-key sequel to Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and told in a series of flashback starring Admiral Uhura, Lieutenant Benjamin Sisko, Lieutenant Tuvok, and Dr. Selar. You had me at "a low-key sequel to Star Trek VI."

    The Asteroid Hunter: A Scientist’s Journey to the Dawn of our Solar System

    September 10, 2024

    Another pick for the Planetary Society book club. And what an amazing pick this was! Who knew that a journey to a lifeless rock somewhere between Mars and Jupiter would be interesting?! This author understood the assignment!

    Lonesome Dove (Lonesome Dove #1)

    August 21, 2024

    Dern. This here is a tragedy. An epic tragedy, I reckon. Come to think of it, I don't think anyone said "reckon" in this 858 page tome. Oh, and this may be an unpopular opinion, but I really, really did not like the character of Lorena...

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!
