This site is the immortalization of my nonsensical musings about books, photography, voiceovers, and other things that pop into my head.
Books
These are the books I read. I love books. I collect them. I enjoy the weight of them in my hand and the feel of the paper. Nothing beats the smell of a good, mass-market paperback – am I right?!
The sections below represent the major categories that I currently use to organize my blog posts about books. Each header is a link to the corresponding page, category or tag. I have also included that last three blog posts from each.
Wait. What? Yeah, you’re just going to have to read the book to find out. I really try not to spoil these books with my “reviews”, but it’s really hard not to give some detail. I mean, I don’t want to just regurgitate the synopsis as printed on the book. That’s not very creative. Continue reading I Can’t Believe You Smashed My Glass Dragon Spaceship!
You know me. I’m a sucker for science fiction, but every once in a while, I’ll venture outside of my comfort zone and read something else, like historical fiction. Read on to see what I thought about Stay Alive by Rodman Philbrick. Continue reading All I want for Christmas is not to die
Andy Marino’s Escape from Chernobyl is a great read for young and old alike. This historical fiction depicts the very real events of April 26, 1986 through the eyes of fictional characters. Continue reading This is a Test. This is Only a Test.

Timothy Zahn is definitely one of my favorite authors. He loves to explore a wide variety of topics in his science fiction novels. In The Sibyl’s War trilogy, he explores the question: “What if there was an alien ship, controlled by an ancient AI, that was then captured by space pirates who abducted people from… Continue reading The spaceship was an alien zoo controlled by an A.I.

Whenever I start reading a new book, I am compelled to finish said book, no matter what. I’m not sure what it is that causes this. Is it out of some sense of loyalty to the author? Some feeling that I owe it to them to finish their book because I know how challenging it… Continue reading Why do I do this to myself?
I recently watched the Foundation series on AppleTv+. Although it’s not a fast-paced, action-packed, sci-fi thriller, I did think it was a great show. I feel like the show’s creators did an excellent job of helping us visualize the galaxy as Asimov describes it in his books. Now, I admit, I am new to the Foundation… Continue reading Find the Robot, Save Humanity
archeologist, but he’s not exactly a treasure hunter either. Rousseau lives on a planet called Asgard. Imagine this world like an onion – layer upon layer – a world constructed by some alien race, an unimaginable amount of time in the past. Rousseau, like so many others, strives to reach the center of Asgard. Unfortunately,… Continue reading So, a Blonde Chases this Giant into a Cave…

It took me nearly the entire year to complete this book, but it was definitely an interesting look at the history behind the airship and the airplane. If this is an area of interest for you, I would encourage you to read or listen to this book. Continue reading I Finally Finished It!
Resilient was written during, and partially in response to, some of the tensest and most difficult hours of the COVID-19 pandemic. John Eldredge has been a Christian counselor for several decades and has written many books that help Christians put their physical, emotional, and spiritual lives in perspective. Continue reading Resilient
As a parent, I am entering that dreaded phase of parenting a teenager, with two more not far behind. I anticipate blinking only a few more times before my kids are adults, so I’m glad that I have found Amy’s book now, while there’s a little time left to capture. Now, that’s not to say… Continue reading Dad, why do you take so many pictures?

The Book Ratings pages describes how my brain works when it comes to the star ratings you see on my blog posts. It’s very subjective. I could be more objective, but “Ain’t nobody got time for dat!”
The Book Index is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a listing of all the books I mention in my blog posts. They are organized in groups by the first letter of the title of the book, except where the first word is “The.” Adding the books to the index is a manual process, so for the time being, the titles are not perfectly arranged in alphabetical order. At some point, I’m going to have to figure out a better way to arrange the titles so that they can be put in alphabetical order more easily.
