HARD REBOOT by Django Wexler – Review

HARD REBOOT by Django Wexler – Review
Posted May 21, 2021 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 17 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Come for the thrilling mecha battles, stay for the cute romance! Hard Reboot was a lot of fun! You might expect from looking at the cover that the story is chock full of mecha fighting goodness—and you would be partially right. But there is a lot more to this little story, and the […]

THE ONES WE’RE MEANT TO FIND by Joan He – Review

THE ONES WE’RE MEANT TO FIND by Joan He – Review
Posted May 17, 2021 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 25 Comments

The nitty-gritty: I loved Joan He’s writing and her thought-provoking ideas, but a confusing story and unexplained world building elements ultimately left me disappointed. I wish I had enjoyed this book more, especially after seeing many glowing reviews in the blogging community. There’s no denying that Joan He has a way with words, and her […]

IMMUNITY INDEX by Sue Burke – Review

IMMUNITY INDEX by Sue Burke – Review
Posted May 15, 2021 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 12 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A bleak futuristic pandemic story that felt a little too familiar for comfort and lacked emotion and drive. I’m sorry to say this book just didn’t work that well for me, which is a shame because I loved Burke’s Semiosis. It took me a solid two weeks to read it, as I picked […]

THE BLACKTONGUE THIEF by Christopher Buehlman – Review
Posted May 13, 2021 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 27 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A bawdy, irreverent and joyful adventure, The Blacktongue Thief is an excellent start to an exciting series. When listening for danger, one must never mistake silence for safety. Color me surprised and delighted by Christopher Buehlman’s traditional fantasy debut! I wasn’t sure what to expect but I did not expect this. Buehlman takes […]

PROJECT HAIL MARY by Andy Weir – Review
Posted May 3, 2021 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 36 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Thrilling, emotional and very funny, Project Hail Mary is a winner! *Spoiler free review This is a tricky book to review, because as you might have heard, there is a spoilerific element to the story that should be kept under wraps at all costs. I have to admit I went into Project Hail […]

MURDER BY OTHER MEANS by John Scalzi

MURDER BY OTHER MEANS by John Scalzi
Posted April 26, 2021 by Tammy in 3 1/2 stars, Reviews / 21 Comments

The nitty-gritty: I enjoyed the mystery and Scalzi’s cool concept of “dispatching,” but overall I wanted more from the story. After my debacle of unintentionally rereading The Dispatcher, I finally downloaded the correct document and was able to knock out Murder By Other Means pretty quickly. This is the second novella in John Scalzi’s The […]

The nitty-gritty: Come for the characters, stay for the pulse-pounding action! The Last Watch is an excellent debut with heart, humor and thrills galore.
