How I use stars.

Been to Japan

Ginza Tokyo

The Shadow Within by Jeanne Cavelos
""Had he saved all of these useless people, only to let her die?"

Wow 👌 This was sensational. I've never seen the author's name before but you can bet I'm about to go find out what else they've written.

This story is a bit of a safe bet. It's about what" Read more of this review »
Theft of Fire by Devon Eriksen
"In order to even begin talking about this book, I have to talk about the publishing industry first.
Traditional publishing is a bit like academia, in that it’s a dinosaur. It moves very slowly in both a proximal and a distal sense. Proximally, publish" Read more of this review »
