Easter at the Farm
This Easter we went to the farm so they kids could hunt for eggs there and then enjoy the farm. Unlike my childhood, Easter’s pretty cold up here as you can see. It’s pretty ridiculous to me, considering almost my entire childhood consisted of going to the local park. Stella’s been enjoying horseback riding for…

Easter Portraits of the Kids
You never know what’s going to happen when you try to take portraits of babies. Throw in the extra unpredictability of kids of any age and it’s a crapshoot whether a photo shoot is going to turn out to be fun with rewarding photos or a series of photos of your children crying. One thing…

Doctorow Review: Eastern Standard Tribe & A Place So Foreign and Eight More

We also quickly learn he believes himself…

Review: Monstrous Regiment
Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is my second time reading the book. I lowered the rating from 5 to 4 stars mostly because 5 stars is “it was amazing” and 4 stars is “really liked it” so that’s a more honest assessment. This is a book that I…

Night Watch by Terry Pratchett My rating: 4 of 5 stars this is my second time reading the book. The rating remains 4/5 stars. I didn’t remember liking this book so much given the fact that I’m not much of a fan of time loops, at least, not since I got use to the idea.…

Review: House of X/Powers of X
House of X/Powers of X by Jonathan Hickman My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is Hickman at his most Hickman. There are repeated timelines, conspiracies, and a semi-non-linear story that goes out 1000 years from the time of the first book. It’s more sci-fi than a typical X-Men book. It’s also, almost 100% setup.…

Review: Lost in the Moment and Found
Lost in the Moment and Found by Seanan McGuire My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the hardest book to read of the entire series. There’s a content warning at the front of the book that explains why – but it is truly one of the cruelest. I think it’s also a book that…

The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is my second time reading this book. Keeping the score of 3/5 stars Another mystery staring Samuel Vimes. This time he’s been sent by Vetinari to Uberwald as Ambassador. Vetinari purposely chose him because he thinks like a cop and isn’t the…
