Top 9 Books I read in 2016 (That weren’t about writing)

I read. A lot. According to my Goodreads, I read 112 new books in 2016. I want to point out that emphasis on “new.” Goodreads only lets you count a book once, and I tend to re-read some of my favorites on an annual basis. Unfortunately, I don’t quite have enough to put together that […]

Lessons Learned about Writing and Human Interaction from Crash by Wright and Platt

  I made a horrible mistake. You see, I recently read Crash by David Wright and Sean Platt. That wasn’t the mistake. Hear me out. The book… is just amazing. The characters, the story, the horrifyingly depressing ending that will leave you a broken miserable wreck for weeks. It is exactly the kind of book […]

Guest Post – Elizabeth Eckhart – Divergent vs. The Hunger Games

The March 21st release of the film Divergent saw crowds lining up to catch what is only the latest in a series of films based on YA dystopian book series. Looking at the $54 million it took in on opening weekend, it’s probably safe to say the public hasn’t tired of the genre yet, but […]

3 Books You Should Read that I would Never Be able to Write because I’m a White Guy

So, I was sitting in my writing chair, starting to work on another piece of fiction, when I realized something very, very wrong about my writing. My characters are pretty white. I’m not sure what to do about this, either. You see, I’m a straight, white male. Most of my friends are straight, white males. […]

#BookReview- Iron Druid Chronicles Book 1 – Hounded

I’ve become a big fan of urban fantasy novels in the last few years. In a way, I’ve been one for a long time without knowing it. If anything can be pointed to as the root of my UF fandom, it’s probably the exposure to Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a impressionable young lad of […]

The Book I didn’t Know I Needed – 101 Secrets for Your Twenties

“For years I felt like I was just an actor in my own life, hanging out in a trailer smoking a cigarette as I waited for God to write a scene worth my time.” -Paul Angone, 101 Secrets for Your Twenties It’s no secret that I’ve been going through a pretty heavy rough patch lately, […]

Let’s Talk about Superheroes

I’m going to admit, my book reading of late has been dominated by the Dresden Files, but I was recently offered a buy-one-get-one free offer on Audbile and had to pick books from the list, so I snagged A Dog’s Purpose and Hero. I listened to A Dog’s Purpose first, and have decided that I […]

Book Review – The Wolfe Brothers Trilogy by Markus Zusak

A lot of people have read Markus Zusak’s most recent work, The Book Thief. It is a brilliant work, and I recommend you all read it if you haven’t. It is the book that he will become a legend for writing, I am sure. It’s a masterpiece of modern literature. It’s won awards. But it […]

Book Review – Double Pack: Fuzzy Nation and Little Fuzzy – A Book Reboot

A Tale of Two Books John Scalzi had an idea. He would take his favorite sci-fi book from childhood (Little Fuzzy) and modernize it for more modern sensibilities. It was a book reboot, and the first one I’d ever heard of. Why shouldn’t he? It happens with beloved characters in comic books and movies. The […]

Shotgun Gravy – A Book Review

Let’s talk about what a teenager with a shotgun and a grudge is like. Oh, wait, we don’t need to thanks to this wonderful little novella by Chuck Wendig (TerribleMinds.Com). I don’t really know what I was expecting going into the book. Though I’ve followed the author on twitter for a while now, I hadn’t […]
