Book Review: Deep River (DNF)
Deep River by Karl Marlantes DNF at 34% The trials and tribulations of the Koski siblings as they flee from Russian-occupied Finland to logging country in Washington state in the early 20th century. To be fair, I am not the target demographic for this book, and it was made abundantly clear to me the more I read it. This … Continue reading Book Review: Deep River (DNF)
July 2019 TBR
I already posted this image on my June Wrap-Up, but wanted to highlight some of my high priority reads (and also create a priority list that I will follow this time).

Sci Fi Friday: Superheroes!
I do like me a good superhero book. Back in my middle and high school days, however, it was not "cool" for girls to read comic books or get into nerd culture. So I would sneak into the library during the summer and methodically read through X-Men, starting with the originals and on to the … Continue reading Sci Fi Friday: Superheroes!
Top 10 Tuesday: Most Anticipated Releases, July-December 2019
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish, but is now moved to That Artsy Reader Girl! Yesterday's Mid-Year Freak Out post was a revelation. Somehow, some way, we are halfway through 2019. Time truly marches on.
