Twenty Seven – Bloganuary
Welcome to Bloganuary. It’s this thing that WordPress is doing to encourage bloggers to post something every day by providing a regular prompt. I think that “Bloguary” would not only sound better but makes more sense. Maybe they’re saving that for next month. But if they go with Blogebruary I’m dropping out.

The Literary Legacy of Nobel Prize Winners in Literature
Ah, the Nobel Prize in Literature! It's like the Oscars of the literary world, minus the red carpet glamour and sequined gowns.

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.

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 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 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
