Right now I have a lot of books in the queue so to speak. It’s funny how my reading waxes and wanes as the seasons do. I find that I read a lot more once the weather has turned colder and wetter. So what is being read now and in the near future? Right nowContinue reading “Book reviews and more”

Some book reviews
I am working my way through a bunch of old Christopher Moore books. Recently I’ve re-red all of the books that take place in Pine Cove. Practical Demonkeeping is the first book that takes place in Pine Cove, California. The story involves a demon obviously, but also a djinn (genie).

Anyway, a book with a cover having a female orc in a coffee shop with treats couldn’t be all that bad – right? Well, was I wrongContinue reading “Book review of the month”
