January 3, 2020 – February 4, 2020 I blabbed a lot the last two books about my amazing connection to Douglas Adams, but my very first introduction to these books was from my older brother reading me sections from this book. You see, he thought these book’s randomness was hilarious – which it is – …

The Calculation Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal, #1 Lady Astronaut
January 16, 2020 – January 24, 2020 I can’t even begin to tell you what this book meant, means, to me – and how mad at myself that it sat next to my bed for how long before I brought it into my life. If I could give it six stars I would. A bit …

Starsight by Brandon Sanderson, #2 Skyward
January 7, 2020 – January 14, 2020 I needed to wait until I was ready. I’ve mentioned before that I have a horrid fear of sequels, and the fact that I still had to wait until I could take a deep enough breath for a book from an author who earned my trust eons ago …

Skyward by Brandon Sanderson, #1 Skyward
January 12, 2019 – January 16, 2019 Ohhhhh my gosh, he wrote a sci fi! I did not see that coming, I thought “Skyward” was going to be about, I don’t know, something magical? Like every other fancy book ever? Nope! And it was awesome! I was having some trouble in the beginning during the …
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman
December 26, 2019 – January 3, 2020 Oh where do I even begin! First, I would like the world at large to be impressed that about two-thirds of the way through I finally was able to hit the asterisk in the reference in the ebook and get back to my spot instead of turning to …
Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde, #1 Shades of Grey
December 7, 2019 – December 12, 2019 I can’t believe that this was a Jasper Fforde book. It was a straight up YA dystopian with no absurdness at all, along with a society that followed lines and patterns and fit together… if I had read this book and asked the author I would not have …

The Forth Bear by Jasper Fforde, #2 Nursery Crime
December 2, 2019 – December 6, 2019 I really hope he writes more of these. I think this one was even better than the last one. As a side note, you should read these after you read the Thursday Next books. I forgot to mention that in the review for the first book. There are …

The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch, #3 Gentleman Bastards
October 25, 2019 – November 5, 2019 Well! Too bad this is the last book he’s going to write and didn’t set it up for more later at all! 😜 I was reading this one a few nights ago and I told Amit that I was really enjoying them. I really was! I don’t know …

The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde, #1 Nursery Crime
November 26, 2019 – December 2, 2019 Man that took me longer than it should have! Especially when I burned through the Jessica Strange books! It was fun though, especially the news headlines at the beginning of each chapter. Spatt’s character was sooo fun and weirdly enough I loved his dad scenes the best, not …

The Eye of Zoltar by Jasper Fforde, #3 The Chronicles of Kazam
November 23, 2019 – November 26, 2019 Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok I love these books, it’s official. And this one is my favorite so far, hands down. Or Helping Hands down! Hahahahaha…! I’m really upset about Perkins dying. I’m also ok with it in a weird way. I’m also sure (I have to be) that he’s not …
