The nitty-gritty: A strong concept that should have worked, but for this reader, there just wasn’t enough emotional connection for me to enjoy the story. Alex was a survivor. Alex wanted the fix, and that was the deal, the box of Turkish delight to sweeten the work of professional betrayal: half a century. Standard offer […]
The nitty-gritty: Weird and wild, this is one alien invasion story you don’t want to miss. “Give him a change of clothes,” says Oyin Da. She code-switches into Yoruba where her speech is not so devoid of emotion. “I’m not going to see potential adversaries smelling of meat.” “Touch these clothes and you die,” I […]
I don’t watch much TV these days, but I used to watch it all the time, and there is nothing better than finding a favorite show and binge watching it from start to finish, which is why I own many of my favorites on DVD. I thought it would be fun to share my […]

[…]

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the Broke and the Bookish, where each week bloggers are given a different top ten theme to blog about. I like this week’s theme because I’ve added quite a few new books to my Goodreads TBR pile in last few weeks, and I thought it would be fun to […]
