I'm a sucker for a good Narrator and a book sale. I came to own a copy of John Scalzi's FUZZY NATION because Wil Wheaton reads it and it was on sale. I figure you can't go wrong, and let's just say I love when I'm right! My favorite part about this quick read was … Continue reading Fuzzy Nation

However, as much as I would … Continue reading Ready Player One vs. Armada
Las Vegas Writer’s Conference 2016
The Cheetos in this hotel don't taste remotely the same as the Cheetos I buy at home. The truth is, I have a soft spot for them, particularly when I'm writing. It's like coffee in the daytime, wine or whisky in the afternoon, and Cheetos. I know how that sounds. Honestly it's not that often … Continue reading Las Vegas Writer’s Conference 2016

Armada By Ernest Cline Narrated by Wil Wheaton Reviewed by Miranda Boyer After I fell in love with Ready Player One there was no doubt in my mind that I would gobble Ernie Cline’s new book Armada as soon as it became available.
