An avid sci-fi and fantasy reader who sometimes does historical fiction or even mainstream.
You might notice that most of my reviews are 5 stars. That's because if I start reading a book that doesn't engage me, I stop reading it. Life is too short. I've realized that it's not fair to review a book I haven't read and nobody really needs to hear why I didn't get into a book especially when they might like it.
My goals with reviews are to be brief and give other potential readers an idea of why they might like the book. I leave it to the marketing people and other reviewers to describe the plots.

I sure hope the library has the next volume ready for me, because I really want to know what happens next for Mr. Dresden.

What the heck is happening to Harry Dresden?! I'm going to have to start #13 right away. It used to be that I could take a few months between books. Not any more.

I'll just keep reading Jim Butcher until he stops writing. The Dresden books are getting awfully dark. I kind of hope they get a bit lighter.

This is book 4 in a series. I loved books 1 and 2, but found book 3 a little dark and not as playful. The Boy Who Lost Fairyland is back to the playfulness and delight with words that I love in this series.
If you felt like you didn't fit in with the other kids or know someone who didn't, this could be a great book for you.

Not the most gripping of Elmore Leonard novels, but fun to have some of his work that I still haven't read.

I'm going to keep reading these until Jim Butcher stops writing them. One good thing about my getting older is I'm starting to have favourite authors younger than me who will likely outlive me.
