I've done a review of the excellent Nadir's Zenith comic books. They're a fantastic sci-fi series.

I have a few books on my list that I want to do, but other than that, I'm going to start fresh...I'll keep a few reviews and interviews up that I quite enjoyed, and then go from there!

I really want to get back into reading again, and really needed this break..it was getting to be way too much!!
Yay Joe!!!!

Thank you Stephen!!

This may shed some light on the situation.

With the exception of a authors that I KNOW are tried and true, I won't be doing work from "indie" authors anymore. There was so much junk that was sent I couldn't stand it, so from now on, agent or publishing company requests only is the way I'm going to keep things straight. I've accepted 5 books today, physical copies, so I've got a short list of about 10 books at the moment.

I can sympathise. I've had a break from reviews just because the next one I write is going to be a bad one. I'm always hoping my screening process is going to protect me from that - but not this time.

I hate writing bad reviews so I drag my heels terribly. Got - to - get - it - done.

If a book is just bad, I don't have a problem with it...but if it has the potential to be great, then I do.

Thankfully, I kept ONE first time author books, and it's actually quite good. I'm about done with it. Epitaph of Jonas Barloff is what this one is called. A good YA horror novel. My only fear is that it ends in something like "and I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"

Decided to go ahead and do a short review of a freebie I found on this site!

What a ride of a short from two masters of their craft!!

Hi everyone,

My friend and I have built a website called BookFreebies.com where we are hoping to build a community of eBook fans, specifically through social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Our goal is to link up with as many readers as possible.

We are hoping that, in time, our website can become a platform for authors to advertise their books completely for free. Being authors ourselves, we know how difficult it is to get our books out there in front of readers. Having as large a reader base as possible will help those authors to get their work out there to the people that love reading - that's you, hopefully.

Here is the link to our website: http://bookfreebies.com

We are very interested in feedback from people as to what they might like from the site.

Thanks for your time.

Did a childrens book review on Saturday, and today I posted this:

A fantastic YA read that for me brought back memories of a little Hardy Boys, a little Goonies, and a little Tom and Huck! Check it out!

Did an interview with Indie short story author and mobile read user on occasions, Derek Odom!

Also....a book with letters to home from a WWII vet is surely to pull on the heart strings....right??
