The books I read. The movies I watch. My grandsons. My health. My two cents on a variety of things. My weird and mostly wonderful life. Sometimes I get to try things for free, and I review them here. If you wanna know something, just ask. I can promise I'll answer truthfully, even if that answer is noneya. Current profile picture is me with the boys at a Chili’s dining with the kids.
A few of my favorite things

Strangers She Knows by Christina DoddMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Great way to end the trilogy. The entire family has a renewed sense of appreciation for each other, and there's hope on the horizon.

Book: Watcher in the Woods by Kelley Armstrong
Watcher in the Woods by Kelley ArmstrongMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read a digital copy of this book I received via Netgalley.
While this is the fourth book in the Rockton series, it can stand alone. I had no trouble following characters and events, even references from previous books, which I have not read.
I loved the Yukon as its own character, and the relationships between Casey and other members of the town feel genuine, even when it involves dislike or even hate. Casey's a capable LEO, and a self-rescuing princess.
I would gladly read more of this series.
The one downside, which I have to hope will be fixed in the published version, was the enormous number of typos and other errata. Normally, I might count off mentally for this, but there were so many I had to presume this was truly an Uncorrected Copy. :D

Book: More Than Bones by Craig David Singer
More Than Bones by Craig David SingerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read a digital copy of this book I received via Netgalley.
More Than Bones revolves around friendships, self-confidence, and knowing who one is.
Parts of MTB are completely silly, and other parts are deep and thoughtful. The secondary characters are interesting and have decent depth.
I enjoyed the resolution of the story with regard to Emily's sense of self. Definitely worth a read, particularly if you want a break from thinky books or studying. :D

Book: Enceladus Mission by Brandon Q Morris
The Enceladus Mission: Hard Science Fiction by Brandon Q. MorrisMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I read a digital copy of this book I received via Netgalley.
There was a bit too much information in this one - too much focus on minutiae and 'we did this then we did that' for my taste.
The communication thing on Enceladus was fascinating, but it lasted about twelve seconds. I would have loved more depth with regard to that. It was actually the most interesting part of the book for me.
There is a huge twist in the early bits of the following book, so if you're not ready to be spoiled, avoid reading it.
