Thisis without question the greatest book review I’ve ever seen. If anybody has actually read The Shadow God by Aaron Rayburn, please let me know if it’s accurate. Here are a few snips: Pros: I’m not even gonna dignify that with a response! Cons: I can’t narrow it down. I’m sorry. I just can’t. The …

Thoughts On "The First Lady Of The Seeing Eye"
Well, Jill is going to smile because I finished the second book she recommended, “The First Lady of the Seeing Eye”. Sadly, there was no mention of Juno, not by name anyway. The empty harness was mentioned, but that’s it. But I did learn a lot of stuff I never intended to. First off, good …

>Too Much Weirdness!
>I’m really freaked out with the number of random weird violent things that have been going on lately. The psychology part of me says that my mind is just playing tricks on me, and I’m only noticing them because of the whole Greyhound bus tragedy, and how grusome it was. But it still freaks me …
Something Tells Me This Book Won’t Be Available In The Ludington Library
I don’t know how to feel about this story. A librarian in the small town of Ludington wrote an unflattering book about her experience in the library. She did use a pen name, but she used a picture of her town’s library on the cover. Soon enough, because people could figure out who she was …

Lessons You Shouldn’t Need To Learn
Bonnie Ashley says she wasn’t dumb, she was desperate when she got married 11 times, each ending in divorce, and the last three marriages/divorces were with the same man. But I can’t help but disagree with her. Let’s look at a few choice quotes from the desperate woman herself. “I was desperate, not dumb,” Ashley …
The War Of The Moral Compass And the Golden Compass
Why does this thing I read in Snopes demand to be put up? It doesn’t surprise me, not in the least, but every time the logical part of me says it doesn’t need to be talked about, another part of me screams that it does. There’s apparently a movie coming out in December called the …

Yes! It’s A Dream! I’m Alive!
Wow. That was a creepy dream. I was going to write about a book I just read, Kill Me, by Stephen White, but in another way. Now, I guess I’ll write about it in the context of this creepy dream. The book was weird, that’s for sure. The concept was pretty simple. This rich guy …
