Less Than a Treason by Dana Stabenow My rating: 5 of 5 stars FINALLY! The cliffhanger at the end of Bad Blood is resolved, or of course there would not be a #21. It’s been so long (over four years!) since I read #20, though, that I had to go back and re-read the last […] Positivity: Groundbreaking Research Reveals How to Embrace the Hidden Strength of Positive Emotions, Overcome Negativity, and Thrive by Barbara L. Fredrickson My rating: 5 of 5 stars I first read Fredrickson’s second book, Love 2.0: How Our Supreme Emotion Affects Everything We Feel, Think, Do, and Become. It blew me away, and I’ve recommended it […] Storm Front by Jim Butcher My rating: 5 of 5 stars I just re-read Storm Front, after first reading it — well, I don’t even know how many years ago! Shortly after it was first released, I think. Now, it’s important to know that I simply don’t re-read books. I find that too boring, […] Full Metal Magic: An Urban Fantasy Anthology of Magic, Mayhem, and the Paranormal by J.A. Cipriano My rating: 3 of 5 stars I was clued in to this anthology by a mention in J.A. Cipriano’s newsletter, which is worth subscribing to (hey, the man sends you free reads, and they’re good!). Anyway, Cipriano and company […] Magic to the Bone by Annie Bellet My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Boss Fight! The climax to the Samir storyline that has been building throughout all seven volumes of the series, this plot does not disappoint. My only complaint about the book, as with the other six, is that it’s short. Still, it’s […] Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives by Gretchen Rubin My rating: 4 of 5 stars Not quite as good as her first book, but well worth the read. I probably should have gotten the abridged version, because as usual I got tired of the anecdotes. I find her types interesting […] How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age by Dale Carnegie My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was a teenager when my father recommended Mr. Carnegie’s original book to me, and at 48 I finally got around to reading this version. I’m glad that I did, as it was well worth […] Attack the Geek by Michael R. Underwood My rating: 5 of 5 stars Excuse me, but SQUEE! More Ree Reyes! More Drake! More Eastwood and Grognard! Yes, more Geekomancy! Michael Underwood is back with a delightful novella and if I have ANY complaints, it’s that this is a novella instead of a novel. That’s […] Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex by Mary Roach My rating: 4 of 5 stars Fascinating stuff! Vast amounts of sheer geekery about sex, science, and the intersection thereof. If you’re looking for sex tips or salacious reading, look elsewhere. If you’re looking to howl with laughter without being able to explain WHY […] Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships by Tristan Taormino My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have to be honest. When I initially heard about Opening Up by Tristan Taormino, it was in association with someone I can’t stand, and I childishly let that association color my impression of the book. […] |
