Ah, the Nobel Prize in Literature! It's like the Oscars of the literary world, minus the red carpet glamour and sequined gowns. Instead, it's a celebration of the minds behind the words that have shaped generations, influenced revolutions, and given us all a darn good reason to procrastinate reading the classics. Today, we embark on … Continue reading The Literary Legacy of Nobel Prize Winners in Literature

Hey… It’s Me Again
Not sure what happened to January... I really didn't expect to go the entire month without blogging. Especially after feeling like I was making a pretty strong comeback in December after taking so much time off throughout the fall of last year. Anyway... It's February already. I figure now's as good a time as any … Continue reading Hey… It’s Me Again
The Midnight Library
The Midnight Library Matt Haig 2020 I really do like to read. You wouldn't know it based on how little I've actually read throughout this year. Thus far, the only book I have read cover to cover was I Hate You - Don't Leave Me, a non-fiction book all about Borderline Personality Disorder. I chalk … Continue reading The Midnight Library
The Highway
The Highway C.J. Box 2013 Maybe it was a mistake for me to watch the first season of ABC's Big Sky. Most of that first season is based on this particular book. While there are some definite differences between the novel and the TV series, all of the major plot points are there. And I … Continue reading The Highway
Back of Beyond
Back of Beyond C.J. Box 2011 The ABC series Big Sky was probably my favorite new show of the 2020-2021 television season. I'm sure that's not saying much because I really don't make much time for network TV these days. I have a tendency to wait until the end of a season then binge everything … Continue reading Back of Beyond
Star Wars: Light of the Jedi
Star Wars: Light of the Jedi Charles Soule 2021 I was mostly excited to have Star Wars content that had nothing to do with Skywalkers or Palpatines. I'm so glad that the creators behind the galaxy far, far away are finally willing to dive into an era of this galaxy's fictional history that has never … Continue reading Star Wars: Light of the Jedi
Catwoman: Soulstealer
Catwoman: Soulstealer Sarah J. Maas 2018 So far I've read three of the DC Icons book series: Batman-Nightcrawler; Wonder Woman-Warbringer; and now this. So far, I've really enjoyed all three. I still have one to go with Superman-Dawnbreaker, which I already own. But like so many books on my bookshelf, I just haven't gotten around … Continue reading Catwoman: Soulstealer
Ready Player Two
Ready Player Two Ernest Cline 2020 I absolutely LOVED Ready Player One. I enjoyed it so much that, after reading through it once, I downloaded the audiobook to let Wil Wheaton read it to me again. And it was fantastic. And I was thrilled to know that Ernest Cline had a sequel in the works. … Continue reading Ready Player Two
Fictional Bucket List
Ashley did this over on her blog yesterday and I thought it was an awesome idea. And, if you know me, I'm always looking for good post ideas that I can steal. Actually, I asked permission to do the same thing on my blog, which she so graciously gave. So thanks, Ashley! So the idea … Continue reading Fictional Bucket List
The Eyes of the Dragon
The Eyes of the Dragon Stephen King 1987 Slowly making my way through Stephen King's bibliography, I've come to The Eyes of the Dragon. In reality, I should have read it some time ago since I'm trying to accomplish this feat by reading novels in the order in which they were originally published. When I … Continue reading The Eyes of the Dragon
